Definite departures’ at 80% with Trafalgar
Trafalgar has seen a 20% sales increase in 2013 trips to Europe and Britain and, as a direct result, has announced that 80% of the program’s itineraries are now definite departures, adding up to more than 3,200. “Trafalgar’s 2013 Europe & Britain global sales are up over 20% from last year, reflecting a buoyant optimism in consumer confidence, so we were strategic in creating great incentive offers for our loyal agents to meet this pent-up demand,”says Gavin Tollman, Global CEO of Trafalgar. “With our 65-year legacy, we are the largest tour operator in Europe and our long term partnerships with our suppliers enable us to provide these thousands of definite departures.””Our increase in sales and ability to declare 80% of 2013 Europe and Britain trips as definite departures are positive reflections of the strength of our Insider product, from the exclusive Be My Guest dining experiences to the fantastic Unique Insights that we offer travellers,”added Doug Patterson, president of Trafalgar Canada. “Over the past year, Trafalgar has transformed the perceptions of touring, and this – combined with a stronger Canadian dollar – has made travelling to Europe a very appealing vacation option for 2013.”Agents are encouraged to assist their customers in taking advantage of Trafalgar’s Early Payment Discount. For one more month, Trafalgar is offering savings of up to $740 per couple on 2013 Europe and Britain guided vacations that are booked and paid for by April 30. Those booking trips during this period can also save an additional 5% on flight. Though the company’s bestselling trips for 2013 are those to Italy and Britain, the 10-day Spanish Wonder, 14-day Best of France and 14-day Family Experiences’ European Wonderland are popular itineraries that now have definite departures for every date.
