If you are someone who loves to travel, restricted movement can feel especially frustrating. Travel is not just about going places. It’s about the entire experience, the anticipation, the joy, and the nostalgia you feel when visiting someplace new. A common thing we often hear people say is “I wish I hadn’t put off taking that trip I always wanted to take.” Well unbelievably, now is the time to plan your next great adventure!
When should I plan?
In the travel industry, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the week after New Year’s, are considered “dead weeks,” with a big drop in demand. With that, a drop in demand = a great time to grab a fantastic deal on a trip. So, if you have some flexibility in your holiday plans — or better yet, if you have adventurous family members who would love an unusual way to spend this time together in the future— then let us help you find some fabulous last-minute bargains. Our Preferred Travel Professionals are highly skilled at finding what you need!
Covid-19 Travel restrictions and social distancing didn’t last forever. At one time it felt like it when we were all staring down weeks or months of having our biggest outings be to the grocery store! Those days are behind us! However, many have still not realized their travel dreams even though restrictions have been lifted. Beginning to realize your dreams and plan now can be a wonderful way to nurture hope and excitement, and to keep your mind focused on all the good things that are now possible.
With travel on the rebound, there are plenty of deals available right now! Mostly since vendors are so excited to have tourists back. All around the world, resorts, venues, restaurants, and parks are just as eager to have you return as you get out into the world again. In the end, they are businesses looking to make a reasonable profit and are offering attractive packages to encourage you to visit. East West Global Traveler has Preferred Travel Professionals who have access to discounts and VIP perks that these businesses are offering, and they can’t wait to provide them to you!
What is there to gain by planning now?
Furthermore, it’s easy to book with confidence as several organizations are offering flexible cancellation and refund policies. Several destinations are also requiring tourists to purchase travel insurance to ensure your investment is protected. This also helps ensure you are protected if you become ill and must quarantine or extend your stay. It also helps cover medical care. Remember, they want your business!
One of the many amazing gifts of travel is that it teaches us resilience, curiosity, and how to find joy in the little things. Wherever you are right now, we encourage you to embrace this moment and start dreaming of your next adventure. When we emerge again, imagine the new appreciation you will have for things like bustling cafes, sunlit beaches, and just being able to interact face to face again with people from a different part of the world, and in a unique culture. There are so many beautiful things to look forward to as you travel and now is the time to plan your next great adventure!
