It is a passion which tens of thousands of local people are grateful he has turned into a lucrative career, as he is helping them make huge savings on their holidays. If you are heading off to sunnier climes this summer or looking forward to a staycation, chances are Rory helped bag you a bargain on the price. The 32-year-old from Downpatrick, Co.
Down, an avid traveller who has already visited 70 countries, started sharing his travel tips and adventures online a few years ago. His love for exploring new destinations quickly resonated with readers and he was astonished to see his following on social media soar to 20,000 within weeks. Recognising a business opportunity, he launched Rory’s Travel Club, a membership-based service that offers exclusive travel discounts and deals.
For an annual fee of just £10, members gain access to a wide array of negotiated travel discounts in Ireland, north and south, and across the world. The club has grown rapidly and now boasts 100,000 members, with thousands of local people packing their cases every month to enjoy a new travel adventure. “I’ve always loved travelling and finding the best deals,” Rory said.
“When I saw how many people were following my blog and benefiting from my tips, I knew I could turn it into something bigger. Rory’s Travel Club is all about making travel affordable and accessible for everyone.” When caught up with Rory it wasn’t surprising to find he was out of the country.
