Much has changed in the Hinckley shop since Holiday Lounge first opened its doors in 2004 with only two staff and three desks. The shop has recently been extended and It now has six desks to cope with the increased level of business it has enjoyed being the leading independent Travel Agent in the town.
Although it is always a busy office you can always book an appointment to discuss that special holiday or cruise that you may have in mind.
