‘It’s the Destination That Makes the Vacation’

Friday, 12 Apr, 2006 0

The real estate mantra of the three most important decision influences are ‘Location, location and location’ rings true for the travel industry too. Insight Vacations offers more included sightseeing to more of the top locations that travellers want to visit.

Research conducted by Insight Vacations shows that the most important decision influence when choosing an escorted holiday is the places it goes. Over 90% of people surveyed felt that the places visited was their number one decision influence.

This is sage advice for agents when assisting their clients. To sell a holiday, it’s the attractions clients will visit that should be kept top of mind. Included extras are often the crucial selling points that will really help a client choose the right holiday for them.

Top experiences like a gondola ride in Venice, a tour of Vatican city, seeing Paris from the Eiffel tower or taking the road less traveled to discover a secret beauty spot are likely to be the most important influences for travelers, particularly if they are all fully included. On Insight Vacations, these are all included highlights, not optional extras.

The results suggest that travelers are more interested in an involved experience, where they can touch, taste, feel and experience every adventure on offer. Insight Vacations understands this and designs holidays that allow time for things like a local cooking lesson, a bike ride in the country or perhaps just time to stroll the side streets of a favourite city.

All Insight’s premium escorted vacations offer travellers more included sightseeing; first class and deluxe hotels which are centrally or scenically located; Highlight Dinners on every tour; and smaller groups, limited to a maximum of 40 guests, so travelers’ never feel rushed or crowded while they experience all the places and sights that first inspired them to explore the world.

Data was collected from Insights 2005 customer tour questionnaires filled out upon completion of their touring experience.
