Keeping abreast of all the available “Travel Offers” for 2015

There’s so many travel offers available for 2015, how does one keep up?

First, have an idea of the type vacation you want in 2015.  Will it be Caribbean ?  Something new & exotic  like Hawaii, Alaska, or even Europe ?  Will it be a cruise ?  Or will you choose a “land based” vacation.  And if land based, will this be a “package”, or are you just planning for the beach, a self driving venture, or a point & fly concept ?

How long will you go for ?

When can you go ?
Who will be going with you ?
Can you go on more than one vacation in 2015 ?

Next, which cruise lines are you willing to go on ?  Which Land Tour Operators interest you ?  If you don’t know, then this should be your next subject to work on.  There’s all kinds of information on the net or you can ask an agent to advice you.

Next question is “when” do you plan to make a decision ?

These type questions are just the preparation needed, so you are more ready for the many offers that are available now or about to surface.  And if you are planning to make a decision now or in the next month, you need to get ready now, with all the above answers.  Many of the deals are passing you buy as you read this !

 

So how to dive into the deals ?

If it’s a cruise you will be going after or a “land based package”, first sign up for emails from each of these carriers !  This way you will receive, first hand, the available offers.

Next, choose 1-2 “agent websites” who offer lots of email offers, whom you would buy your package from.  Example, my staff sends out emails weekly, to include Exclusives, that can only be purchased through us.  You can sign up here:  www.SignUp4CruiseDealls.com

 

Don’t plan to buy your vacation direct from the cruise line or tour operator, just because they sent you an email of their offers.  These emails are just a resource for you.  Every agent across the country can provide these offers to you !  You want an agent, as your middle guy, to know all the rules and to be there for you, if there’s a personal issue you may have or the cruise line/tour operator has a situation that could affect your vacation.

 

A VALUABLE PIECE OF INFO TO KNOW:  Exclusives offers, such as cruises, are only offered by LARGE agencies (Distribution Houses), and you can NOT receive these by buying your cruise directly at the cruise line.  The cruise lines can NOT give you their lowest available rates and/or amenities.  They provide these offers just to the LARGE agencies (Distribution Houses).

 

DO YOU KNOW A DISTRIBUTION HOUSE ?  Many folks think these are the internet sites like Orbitz, Hotwire, Priceline, the Airlines, etc.  In reality, these sites buy from a Distribution house themselves.

 

IF YOU KNOW A DISTRIBUTION HOUSE, YOU CAN BUY DIRECTLY THERE TOO !  Cruises Inc is a part of the LARGEST distribution house in the country.  The above internet sites buy their cruises from this distribution house too.  Many folks don’t realize, this same distribution house may be in their own home city.  Lynchburg, VA, has been available for local folks to buy directly for 23 years now.                              

 

Plan to take advantage of savings for your 2015 vacation !

·         Plan now BEFORE 2015 … Many savings out there !

·         Find a Cruise Distribution House to buy your next cruise !

·         Sign up for email offers !

·         Do your homework by using resources to decide which vacation for you

·         Then CALL2BUY2SAVE !  Don’t buy off the net; buy from a human voice.  Not only do You not want to miss out on offers & you want to know all the rules, you want to buy from someone who offers a variety of cruise lines/tour operators, so this person will advise you, which may NOT be for you !

 

HAPPY PLANNING !
