Four top-selling Small Group Discovery itineraries are: ‘Splendors of South Africa with Victoria Falls’ (helping to drive a 10% year-over-year increase in Africa sales for Globus, says Harper); ‘Swiss Splendors by Train’ (one of the company’s fastest-selling European itineraries); ‘Australian Safari’; and ‘Costa Rica Coast to Coast’.
Harper also recommended ‘A Journey Through Time: Armenia & Georgia’, ‘Enchanting Italy’ with a stay in a former Franciscan monastery in Pienza, ‘Extraordinary England & Scotland’, ‘Paris & Provence’, ‘Croatian Island Hopper’ with overnights in Brac and Hvar, and ‘Majestic Montana & Yellowstone’.
Advantages for travel advisors include higher per diem rates. With an average spend of $500 per day, the Small Group Discovery tours offer premium commission opportunities, said Harper.
Also helpful for agents, strong demand and limited availability translates into urgency for bookings. Plus, the tours are “easy to sell, easier to book: The perfect option for clients who want immersive travel but don’t want to navigate the complexities of independent exploration.”
