Holiday & More

What Holiday & More does

Holiday & More is a UK direct-to-consumer travel agency operating as a trading division of Paragon Plus Limited, a private limited company registered in England and Wales (company number 11057412). Established around 1983 and headquartered at 66 Park Way, Ruislip, the business sells bespoke tailor-made holidays, pre-packaged flight-inclusive holidays, accommodation-only hotel bookings, and escorted group tours to 100+ countries across all continents. The company holds ATOL licence 11408 from the Civil Aviation Authority and ABTA memberships P8236 (agent) and Y6708 (organiser), providing regulated financial protection for both flight-inclusive and non-flight packages.

The core product is a high-touch, expert-led holiday design service sold through a dual online/offline channel: the holidaysandmore.com website for browsing and booking inquiries, and a UK phone contact centre (020 3883 8500) staffed by holiday experts for personalised itinerary consultation. Pricing is transaction-based, ranging from approximately £149 per person for short city breaks to over £2,129 per person for luxury seven-night resort stays such as the Maradiva Villa Resort & Spa Mauritius. Group escorted tours include niche products such as Sikh pilgrimages (Panj Takht Sahib Yatra, Premium Pakistan Yatra) and South Asian diaspora itineraries (Magical Kerala, Rajasthan), alongside mainstream destinations.

Revenue is generated through markups on supplier services (flights, hotels, transfers) and service charges on package bookings; no revenue figure is publicly disclosed. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capability, or developer-facing API is referenced. The company does not disclose headcount, revenue, funding, or management team, and operates without disclosed M&A activity, external investors, or partnerships, suggesting a privately held, owner-operated model. Related group entities Travcorp Holdings and Holiday Gems Limited are referenced in privacy disclosures, indicating a small group structure rather than an independent standalone operator.
