Avanti Destinations Helps Advisors Sell Winter Travel 

Avanti Destinations, a custom FIT tour operator that sells exclusively through travel advisors, has launched its 2024 Go365 campaign. 

Each year, the initiative by Avanti encourages advisors to book off-season trips from October through March. The company released a 50-page e-brochure and will host a webinar focusing on winter and wellness vacations in both cold and warm destinations. 

The e-brochure highlights 35 accommodations and 28 experiences in 28 different countries. The webinar will be held on Thursday, July 25 at 1 p.m. EST. 

“Off-season is the ideal time to go to Europe and the UK,” said Gina Bang, Avanti’s chief sales and marketing officer. “There are fewer tourists, a less crowded, more relaxed, and a more authentic atmosphere, less waiting in line for popular attractions, greater availability of private guides, and many special winter events and activities, like Christmas markets, winter sports, and the Northern Lights.” 

“For FIT clients who took their peak season vacation in Europe and the UK and now want to escape the cold weather during the winter months, it’s a great time to recommend Southeast Asia, Egypt, Morocco, the South Pacific, or Central and South America,” she added. “We first launched Go365 in 2017 to help advisors get more business all year round, and to encourage travel to destinations around the world, as well as Europe, and it has always been enthusiastically received.”    

Just a few of the customizable experiences are Christmas markets in several European countries; a private chocolate truffle making workshop in Edinburgh, Scotland; small group Northern Lights tour from Reykjavik, Iceland; and a private snow monkey park tour near Obuse, Japan. 

Avanti can also provide pre-printed marketing postcards for the campaign for advisors upon request.
