For travel agents wondering how to ramp up year-end sales and wrap up this 2023 on a high note, Globus® has the ideal solution with the introduction of vacations during the winter season. Because traveling during the off-season is in! And no wonder: Off-season travelers are rewarded with lesser crowds, more elbow room, lower prices and also minimal visa troubles that the Indian travel industry knows too well by now. Globus® calls it the “Thinner crowds & Thicker wallets” effect. With this in mind, Globus® offers “Escapes by Globus®”, with a multitude of vacations dedicated to winter and spring travel. This allows travelers to typically save up to 40 per cent compared with peak-season itineraries to European and many other hot spots. All Escapes departures are scheduled between November and March and are guaranteed to operate – all this, at a time of the year when the options to enjoy the benefits of escorted travel aren’t really many.
“Off-season travel is the hottest trend in touring,” says Varesh Chopra, Managing Director for the Globus® family of brands. “When the heat is off and crowds are halved, Escapes travelers can wind and bend their way through Europe’s narrow streets and alleys with the locals – Yes only locals – mostly. Even better? Escapes are priced at about $125 a day and include Globus®’ signature excursions, recommendations from local guides and the support of a Tour Director apart from the top-notch Globus® service of 95 years.
According to Chopra, “Globus®’ Escapes” bookings are approaching a record sales pace for 2023, up 33 per cent over pre-pandemic levels. In particular, Escapes departures to Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece and Ireland are leading the way. In 2023, Globus® has also increased its “Escapes by Globus®” operations by 15 per cent, as well as added new destinations including Turkey, Wales, Finland, Albania. This brings it to almost 40 itineraries with over 600 departures to 25 countries making it quite a wide choice for any discerning world explorer. These departures are also extremely attractive for solo travelers as there is no single supplement on many of these.
Among the latest selection are six new “Escapes by Globus®” vacations:
- Turkish Escape (8 days)
- Finland Escape (6 days)
- Welsh Escape with London (7 days)
- From Prague to Munich Escape (8 days)
- Croatia & Albania Escape (9 days)
- Sicilian Escape with Malta (10 days)
Globus® launched the idea of “Escapes” in the year 2017 with just a handful of off-season options. Since then, the company has expanded its offerings to include nearly 40 Escapes, becoming Globus®’ fastest-growing tour product, amongst travel agents and their customers.
“Considering we are the only ones to operate such a wide range of escorted vacations even during the traditional ‘off-season’, our agent partners are extremely happy to have options to offer to their clients even during winter, especially to Europe. Infact, numerous travel plans were postponed or didn’t materialise due to the summertime visa challenges and there is a substantial set of clients willing to travel in the next few months. Also, due to the year-end festivities all around Europe, this is just about one of the best times to travel” concludes Varesh Chopra, Managing Director, Globus® family of brands.
