Offering the ideal solution for agents looking to boost year-end sales, Globus family of brands has launched vacations during the winter season. Calling it the ‘Thinner crowds & Thicker wallets’ effect, the company has unveiled ‘Escapes by Globus’, with a multitude of vacations dedicated to winter and spring travel. All escapes departures are scheduled between November and March and are guaranteed to operate – all this at a time of the year when the options to enjoy the benefits of escorted travel are not really many. Varesh Chopra, Managing Director, Globus family of
brands, said, “Off-season travel is the hottest trend in touring. When the heat is off and crowds are halved, Escapes travellers can wind and bend their way through Europe’s narrow streets and alleys with the locals. Escapes are priced at about $125 a day and include Globus’ signature excursions, recommendations from local guides and the support of a tour director apart from the top-notch Globus service of 95 years.”

Chopra adds that Globus’ Escapes bookings are approaching a record sales pace for 2023, up 33 per cent over pre-pandemic levels. Escapes departures to Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece and Ireland are leading the way. In 2023, Globus has also increased its ‘Escapes by Globus’ operations by 15 per cent, as well as added new destinations, including Turkey, Wales, Finland, Albania. This brings it to almost 40 itineraries with over 600 departures to 25 countries making it quite a wide choice for any discerning world explorer. These departures are also extremely attractive for solo travellers as there is no single supplement on many of these.

Globus launched ‘Escapes’ in 2017 with a handful of off-season options. “Considering we are the only ones to operate such a wide range of escorted vacations even during the traditional ‘off-season’, our agent partners are extremely happy to have options to offer to their clients even during winter, especially to Europe,” he said.
