Breaking the Ice Between Traveller and Rep

When tourists first meet their package holiday representatives, they are often both giddy with the excitement of a new place, but also tired from the journey there. Good reps know this, and are sympathetic to the tourists, and work hard to making things clear and easy to understand.

When customers arrive, the relaxation hasn't started yet. Generally, they are still slightly stressed about the flight, and not yet in "holiday mode". The rep has to find ways of starting that holiday mode, so simple tricks are useful for getting the visitors to start relaxing.

Small things like name badges help customers understand who is who. Reps who stress organisation and are able to take away the stress of travel will find particularly thankful holidaymakers. Anything that makes the travel part of the holiday easier has an important effect on the holiday. This is particularly true on arrival. (more...)

However, it is possible to buy or rent caravans. It is of essential importance to make sure that you take along spare parts for your caravan in cases of emergencies. The worst thing that can happen is to have a broken caravan on your vacation with no spare parts to fix it.

There are many different types of caravans. The type of caravan chosen is normally based on individual needs.

Choosing the right type of caravan is essential to enjoying your caravan vacation. Comfort is very important so if the right caravan is not chosen, you might not enjoy your caravan vacation. (more...)
