NI Based Tour Operator Sports Entertainment Tours, Now Bookable with Oasis Travel

Posted By: Sports Entertainment Tours

oasis travel northern ireland

20th Dec 2022

Building on what has been a strong year in 2022, Sports Entertainment Tours are now in a position to expand their reach and have come to an agreement with the multi award winning travel agency Oasis Travel, to provide some of the best sports packages around the globe.

This is another positive step for the progressive young company in partnering with an established brand like Oasis. With options available for any sport, you could wish for including Football, Rugby, Formula One, World Championship Boxing and NFL to name just a few, now also available on the high street as well as online, it has never been easier to book that much sought-after sports trip.

Sports Entertainment Tours Managing Director, John Boyde said “We are delighted to have come to this agreement with Oasis – having worked with the team there throughout my years in the travel industry, I am excited to be in a position to now offer our fantastic sports breaks and give customers more options to access these fantastic events. We have over 500 of the best sports events in the world available to book on our website and we are adding more every day with our network of global contacts. Our aim is still to be the number one provider of sports experiences in the market, and we are rapidly on our way to achieving that, a partnership with a company like Oasis with over 37 years’ experience in the industry gives us more confidence in how we are operating and providing first class service to our customers, and we look forward to a bright future with our new partners.”

Oasis Travel Retail Development Manager Brendan Mallon commented “At Oasis Travel we’re always on the lookout for opportunities to offer our clients the best travel experiences available, so our partnership with the team at Sports Entertainment Tours allows us to further grow the range of quality products we have to offer.”

The link up is a great step to enhance the offering of Oasis to their loyal and new customers, with more options to experience some once in a lifetime events. Both companies are extremely customer focused with Sports Entertainment Tours receiving plaudits on review sites and social media in recent months for their first-class care of their client’s journey and experience.

Editors Notes

Sports Entertainment Tours was founded in late 2020 by three travel professionals with particular experience in the sports industry with the aim of sending customers to sports events around the globe. Providing travel services for sports professionals is also a key element of the business and the need for a first-class service was readily identified as something that needed improvement within the industry.

A day with… Oasis Travel

Amie Keeley was taken on a whirlwind tour of Northern Ireland’s largest independent agency.

Oasis Travel’s Lisburn branch is something of a Tardis. There’s the shop floor and a couple of Portfolio suites for private appointments at the front. A tiny narrow stairway leads to an open-plan office with a boardroom table, private offices and staff kitchen.

‘Homeworkers’ occupy offices in former cottages and an outdoor terrace hosts staff parties and client events. It goes on and on.

Oasis Travel, the business, is like this office. On paper, it’s a six-branch agency specialising in cruise, but dig a little deeper and there is an infinite amount of activity going on beyond the shop floor.

From client events, travel shows, media partnerships and sponsorship of sports teams, Oasis is everywhere it needs to be in the local community.

At the heart of the business is founder and managing director Sandra Corkin. She opened her first shop in 1984 when she was 21 with the help of her late father. The agency now turns over £25 million annually and employs 55 staff.

sandra-corkin

Last year Sandra’s success was recognised when she won the Outstanding Contribution to the Industry Award at Travel Weekly’s Agent Achievement Awards.

She dedicated the award to her staff, many of whom joined in the 1980s and are still working at the agency today, including Julie-Anne Vaughan who manages its appointment-only Portfolio brand, and Wendy Harper, who manages the Lisburn branch.

Oasis is also a family business. Her brother Gary is the financial director and her son Jason helps out when he is not at university.

More recently, Sandra recruited Brendan Mallon as retail development manager. He has worked in the industry for 25 years, having begun his career at Thomas Cook.

Last year, Oasis signed a new partnership with Belfast Telegraph Travel to fulfil land-based booking enquiries made through the newspaper’s travel brand. The partnership is overseen by Brendan who says every week in January was a record.

Phone enquiries are handled by staff in the Ballyhackamore branch in an affluent part of east Belfast, which has also undergone significant changes in recent years.

The agency of former rival Knock Travel, which was bought from owner Doreen McKenzie in 2017, rebranded to Oasis and moved next door. Sandra kept all the staff, including branch manager Pauline Suttle who has worked at the store for 40 years. “I came in to be Doreen’s secretary, but I lasted one day before being put on the shop floor,” she recalls.

Cruise Beyond

Oasis opened Northern Ireland’s first cruise-only store Cruise Beyond in Belfast city centre this month. The shop features a virtual reality area that allows customers to explore Celebrity Edge. The technology was trialled at this year’s Belfast Holiday Show, resulting in 25 bookings.

“It’s a big investment so I was relieved to see how well it did and we’re hoping it will have the same effect in the shop,” Sandra says.

Call centre staff, who were formerly based at the Ballyhackamore branch, moved across to Cruise Beyond. There are also Portfolio suites at the site and a website is due to launch, featuring offers and prompting users to call or email enquiries.

Cruise accounts for about 40% of Oasis Travel’s business and this is reflected in all of its stores with beautiful imagery of Celebrity Edge, and ships from Royal Caribbean, Silversea and others on the walls.

oasis-travel

Oasis operates Portfolio suites in its branches for customers who want to book in privacy.

The idea came about from Julie-Anne Vaughan 12 years ago when she managed the Lisburn branch. Sandra says: “She was inundated with customers and some wanted to speak in private.”

The Holywood store moved its suite to a charming 17th-century postmaster’s office down the road, complete with original post drawers and antique furnishings. It is staffed by Simon O’Neill who turns over £1 million a year.

“I do a lot of concierge and book restaurants or whatever they need. If you go the extra mile it goes a long way,” he says.

The bulk of Simon’s business is from repeat customers and he relies heavily on referrals.

“I don’t have a shop window,” he says. “I ask customers to recommend me to friends.”

Events are a big focus for Oasis. As well  as a stand at the Belfast Holiday Show,  the agency runs its own event each year,  the Northern Ireland Cruise Fair, which attracts about 1,500 people.

oasis-travel-2

Are more shops on the cards? “We want to improve what we are already doing,” Sandra says. “We’ve taken on so many projects over the last few year, so this year is about consolidating all of that.”

New staff uniforms are planned this year and the business has started working with an external staff trainer for senior management team, who Sandra describes as “unconventional”.

She says one element of the training involved staff sitting together and getting everything off their chest, resulting in the trainer asking Brendan if he thought Sandra “thrived on chaos”. If she does, she hides it well and without ever breaking a sweat. But more importantly, it is probably what has helped her build Northern Ireland’s most successful independent travel agency with a loyal and long-serving workforce.

amie-oasis-travel

Amie’s day at Oasis Travel

This was no ordinary shop visit. Sandra and her team went all out and organised a tour of five out of her six branches, plus lunch and an airport drop-off, in six hours.

The shops are stylish, modern and immaculate – white leather chairs, huge cylinder lamp shades, wooden flooring and aspirational holiday imagery adorn the walls.

The stores are redecorated every three years, but you’d think each of them had just undergone a refit.

In each branch you’re left in no doubt this is a cruise specialist with stunning images of the inside and outside of ships all around.

I couldn’t have been given a warmer welcome on my ‘tour’ and what struck me most was how much the staff loved their job and working for Sandra. She looks after her staff, which has clearly gone a long way in helping her build a hugely successful business.

Suggested length of stay

The suggested length of stay for a holiday in Northern Ireland depends on what you want to see and experience. A few days in Belfast should suffice if you’re interested in exploring the cities and soaking up the urban culture. However, if you’d like to explore the countryside and the natural beauty of Northern Ireland, consider spending a week or more to see everything the region offers.

Modes of transport

Road Driving in Northern Ireland can be an enjoyable experience, but it’s important to be aware of the rules of the road. In Northern Ireland, cars drive on the left-hand side of the road. It’s also important to note that speed limits are posted in miles per hour (mph), not kilometres per hour (km/h). Additionally, there are many narrow and winding roads in rural areas, so it’s important to take extra care when driving.

Air Domestic air travel within Northern Ireland is limited, with only a few airports offering regular flights. The main airport is Belfast International Airport, which offers a range of international and domestic flights. Other Northern Ireland airports offering domestic flights include George Best Belfast City Airport, City of Derry Airport, and Enniskillen Airport. However, it’s worth noting that domestic air travel within Northern Ireland is generally not as popular or convenient as other forms of transportation, such as driving or taking a train.

Rail Northern Ireland has a good train network operated by Translink, the region’s main public transport provider. The train service covers most of Northern Ireland, connecting major cities such as Belfast, Derry/Londonderry, and Newry, as well as smaller towns and villages throughout the region.

Ferry Several ferry services connect Northern Ireland with other parts of the United Kingdom. Some popular routes include Belfast to Cairnryan, Belfast to Liverpool, and Larne to Cairnryan.

Northern Ireland has a rich and diverse cuisine that reflects its history and cultural influences. Some traditional dishes include Ulster Fry, a hearty breakfast dish featuring bacon, eggs, sausages, black pudding, and soda bread. Another popular dish is champ, which is mashed potatoes with scallions, butter, and milk. Irish stew, made with lamb or beef, potatoes, carrots, and onions, is also a favourite. Seafood is also a big part of Northern Irish cuisine, with fresh salmon, lobster, and oysters being popular. Plenty of baked goods exist, such as soda bread, wheat bread, and potato bread.

Drinking water

Northern Ireland tap water is safe to drink.

If you travel to the UK on an Australian passport as a tourist for less than six months, you usually won’t need a visa. But always check with your local consulate.

The currency of Northern Ireland is the Pound Sterling “Pound” (GBP)

Inoculations & health precautions

Health risks in Northern Ireland are broadly like those in Australia.

Australia House Strand London WC 2B 4LA, United Kingdom Phone: (+44 20) 7379 4334 Fax: (+44 20) 7887 5559 Website: uk.highcommission.gov.au

Electricity

In Northern Ireland, power plugs and sockets (outlets) of type G are used. The standard voltage is 230 V at a frequency of 50 Hz.

Getting there

The most common route is to fly from Australia to London and then take a connecting flight to Belfast. Airlines such as Qantas, Emirates, British Airways, and Cathay Pacific offer flights from Australia to London. Airports like EasyJet, Ryanair, and British Airways from London offer flights to Belfast. Alternatively, you can fly to Dublin and take a train to Belfast, which is approximately a two-hour journey.
