Touring: The Ultimate Package Holiday
Bored of the beach???
Concerned about the rising costs of living???
The massive growth of this travel sector shows that travellers are bored of beaches and all-inclusive's, that’s a break, not a holiday. The pandemic also has made people “rethink travel” so they want more experiential trips. From Antarctica to Italy to Kilimanjaro, a tour is the complete package holiday, a real holiday that you can get passionate about
So how about an 'Organised Adventure'? It’s a bit of an oxymoron, how can an adventure be organised? Your preconceptions will be blown out of the water. This is not about coach loads of tourists being herded from 1 photo opportunity to the next. Nor is it about 18-30's going wild. There is a tour out there for everyone, you need to find the right tour. There is a very diverse offering, including tailor-made itineraries, group trips, family tours, cruises, self-guided holidays, private trips, small groups and more
Organised adventures offer a range of benefits, such as smooth logistics, the personal touch of a guide and the chance for strangers to become friends. It is important to note that not every hour of your day is scheduled and timetabled: there is plenty of free time to explore and make the holiday your own... Touring and adventure trips help my clients deal with ‘decision fatigue’. For example, a colleague of mine took a cycling tour of the Dolomites, which was adventurous, but the logistics, routes, travel and accommodation were all sorted in advance, so he could enjoy the holiday rather than make lots of choices.
Touring and adventure holidays represent excellent value for money compared to traditional packages. The number of excursions and inclusions is very good.
But it's not about being cheap, it’s about value for money. If you don’t have so much disposable income but want something special, we can do that. Lots of tours are stripped back so travellers can grab a deal and help keep costs down, but there are tours and adventures to suit every budget: from basic to premium.
As an independent travel agent, I really get to know my customers' likes and dislikes so I am ideally placed to find the ideal tour for you, either solo or with friends and family. The high number of repeat bookings with World Class Adventures is a testament to the trust my clients have in me, and I'm very proud of this.
Responsible Travel
When I plan a holiday, I ask operators for locally owned accommodation and local guides where the trip allows, and I follow my Animal Welfare Policy on wildlife experiences. Holidays that include flights include a £15 payment to Sustainable Travel International, a non-profit working to protect vulnerable destinations and the communities who live there. It is part of the holiday price, there is no opt-out, and I keep a record of each payment. The Traveller's Pledge and my full approach are on my Responsible Travel page.
