Avanti Destinations launched its new 2021 “Go365” campaign with a new 106-page e-brochure, filled with suggestions for customizable independent vacations in the fall, winter and early spring in 29 countries throughout Europe, Asia, North Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South America.
As part of the Go365 campaign, Avanti will host three webinars on international winter travel on June 15, June 22 and June 29, at 1 p.m. EDT/10 a.m. PDT.
As an incentive, advisors earn a $25 gift card per passenger for new bookings with a deposit made between June 1 and June 30, 2021. To qualify, travel must take place October 2021 through March 2022.
The new Go365 e-brochure features a total of 35 recommended and customizable vacations that may be combined with other Avanti destinations, transfers, tours and experiences. Some recommended vacations are focused on traditional cold-weather activities, such as hunting for the Northern Lights, reindeer-sledding, and skiing. Others take advantage of milder winter weather in southern Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, plus Central and South America. While other itineraries provide an escape to summerlike weather in the tropical climates of southeast Asia and South America. Several in Europe are self-drive vacations that take in off-the-beaten path destinations. In addition, private tours are included in most itineraries.
