Why Is 2009 A Great Year To Travel?

 

There is a big market of consumers in the U.S. who will continue to be able to afford a vacation this year, despite the challenging economic conditions. Will your agency capture their business?

Everyone knows that 2009 won’t be a record year in travel. But I believe many veteran travelers will be rushing to pack their bags to experience great vacations this year.

 

Why?

They know that airports will be calmer, museum lines will be non-existent, prices will be deeply discounted, and the red-carpet will be rolled out by hotels, restaurants and shops.

 

See Steve Perillo on Fox News Business dicusss travel opportunities in 2009.

And airline prices are attractive again, thanks to continued competition in the industry and dramatically lower fuel costs. All this bodes well for clients who are interested in experiencing the vacation-of-a-lifetime to desired destinations Perillo Tours serves like: Italy, Hawaii and Israel.

For Italy-bound clients, there are even more reasons to travel with Perillo this year.

 

• The Dollar is much stronger against the Euro, up 15% over summer 2008 levels.

• 4-5 course dinner EVERY night, including fine Italian wines, beer, soda, mineral water and coffee (on most of our tours).

• Gala Dinner/Dance with our own orchestra, overlooking all of Rome (included in most of our tours).

• Centrally-located, First-Class and Deluxe hotels. We stay right in downtown Rome and Florence. In Venice, we never stay in the suburbs. We stay in Venice proper - usually just steps away from St. Mark’s Square!

• All guests receive a round-trip airport transfer, even when you purchase air on your own. That means a Perillo representative is there to greet and escort you upon your arrival in Italy.

• The very latest, deluxe motor coaches with lavatory aboard.

• The BEST tour guides in Italy! All our tour guides are native Italians, English-speaking, and passionate about their homeland. Many of them have been part of the Perillo family for years.

Yes, 2009 will be a challenging year. But there is always a silver lining. Savvy travelers will hit the road, in search of value, great experiences, and a way to escape the burdens of our times. I encourage you to seek out their business and keep your agency engaged in what it does best...advising your clients on the best vacation values available.

 

At Perillo, our tour experiences are legendary. We guarantee that your clients will return satisfied and happy. Don't let the doomsayers blind you to the opportunities that exist. This is your year for travel.
