Trafalgar has unveiled its dynamic 2019 Europe & Britain brochure which offers 116 handcrafted trips spanning 220 cities, including four brand new trips (and two new trip extensions) that meet client demand for ‘real’ experiences – so that agents can grow their sales imminently and well into the new year.
In its it continual strive to put #AgentsFirst, Trafalgar understands that client demands and needs continue to evolve, so it’s important to stay one step ahead so these can genuinely be delivered. Therefore, Trafalgar conducted a research study* amongst travellers to ensure they’re providing agents exactly what their clients want with this new program.
The research revealed that a staggering 89% of respondents said travel is enjoyable but stressful and difficult to plan, and 49% surveyed claimed that “real” travel experiences didn’t actually feel that real. 71% of travellers saw trips where they had new experiences as being more important than those where they visited all the sights.
Each Trafalgar trip provides clients exactly what they’re seeking on holiday including real ease, as all the details are taken care of – combatting the stress of planning. Shamrocks and Leprechauns through Ireland is Trafalgar’s NEW Family Experience, which takes out the complexities of planning a family holiday, so everyone can relax and spend quality time together. Comfortable accommodation (including interconnecting rooms), meals for the palates of all generations as well as WIFI and USB equipped transport come as standard. The trip is also packed with activities that appeal to all ages and allow families time to bond, including visits to the home of the last-remaining leprechauns, an archery class at Winterfell Castle, a sheep farm on the Wild Atlantic Way where they’ll meet some of the smartest sheepdogs in the world as well as a trip to the Flying Boat Museum. Guests will also get to connect to Ireland’s rich heritage with their Stay With Stories, at the County Down’s Slieve Donard Resort and Spa, which features Victorian architecture and a stunning coastal landscape, showcasing the history and abundant beauty of the Emerald Isle.
Trafalgar guests will experience real connections on each trip with a host of 103 signature Be My Guest experiences, where they’ll actually break bread with locals. On NEW Best of Croatia and Slovenia, guests will join a family in Croatia’s coastal town of Opatija for an exclusive dinner, experiencing Mediterranean flavours unlike any other and hearing stories of life in the Kvarner Gulf. NEW Treasures of Spain and Portugal will enamour clients with a traditional Andalusian dinner as they learn about producing olive oil with a Sangria in hand at the Morillo family’s estate. NEW Best of Poland is Trafalgar’s very first dedicated Poland itinerary, visiting top cities Warsaw, Gdansk, Toruń, Wroclaw, Zakopane, Kraków and Czestochowa. This is the perfect trip for history lovers who want to connect to the country’s rich routes, with visits to Warsaw Old Town and Auschwitz concentration camp. Guests will also visit The Living Museum of Gingerbread in UNESCO-listed Toruń, where they prepare dough and bake their own gingerbread in the Medieval Bakery as well as sampling local gastronomic delights (including salted and smoked sheep’s cheese) with a family in the Polish highlands.
Trafalgar has also introduced two new short trip extensions to the perennially popular Greek Islands, with the wanderlust of The Cyclades undeniably capturing clients. These can easily be added to Trafalgar’s Best of Greece and Best of Greece and Italy trips, making it easier than ever before to tailor and plan a trip to fit customer’s needs, so they can enjoy The Good Life:
