Escorted tours growing in popularity
Due to a recent study that has shown that escorted touring is consistently growing in popularity, many travel companies are looking to add this feature to their already popular programme of holidays.
One of these tour operators is a company called Kuoni who recently launched its first brochure entirely dedicated to escorted touring due to the demand in this area of the travel market. Kuoni have brought together the very best in itineraries, excursions, guides and sights as well as adding 14 new escorted tours to their programme.
These new tours cover a range of popular holiday destinations that include Sicily, Morocco and Brazil. Kuoni have also tapped into the events and festivals market featuring specialist escorted tours to include the Rio Carnival or the Inti Raymi Festival in Peru.
Kuoni have spent a great deal of time refreshing their itineraries and choosing new hotels as well as offering guaranteed departure dates and greater flexibility for customers. Knowing that their customers have a range of budgets available to them, they have introduced four new touring options to cater for everyone's holiday needs and these have been called Essentials, Explore & Discover, Beyond and Ananea responsible holidays.
A representative at Kuoni UK, Claire Reynolds, has said that "Escorted tours provide the perfect opportunity to explore unfamiliar territory in the safe company of others. The tours are cost-effective and provide a great opportunity to interact socially with people who would not normally consider talking to. Escorted touring is also perfect for solo travellers as you will be part of a group of like-minded people but there's plenty of time at leisure too."
