How to Promote and Sell Travel in Troubled Times
People are still traveling---maybe last minute and maybe closer to home--but still traveling. Think of alternatives for your clients travel plans.
Look for resort and hotel packages in your area of the United States. Instead of just booking the hotel, look for hotel packages, either through a tour supplier or the hotel reservations department. These packages could include meals, local sightseeing and more. This means a good value for your clients and more commission dollars for you.
Look for close to home cruises for your clients. There are now cruises leaving from many Gulf cities and the east coast as well as the west coast. These cruises may be accessible by car for your clients who do not want to fly.
Look for Air Alternatives. Tour suppliers are offering many charter flights to the Caribbean and Mexico this year. This opens up the possibility of non-stop or direct service from cities that would not ordinarily offer it. Perhaps charter flight may appeal to your clients who are leary of flying. Also, remember you can still make commission on car rentals--for those clients who choose to drive---why put the wear and tear on their cars.
Think "out of the box" and SELL!
