Top 5 News Stories for December!

The December Celebrated FIVE

Here are the FIVE most important things you need to know this month to stay ahead of the curve and better assist your clients. Each month we'll share our top intel with our most valued travel advisor clients like you!

#1: Spring Break in Ireland

With the winter chill, more clients will be calling you for Spring Break. Ireland shines in Spring; flowers bloom early, and family adventures abound in March/April. Easter comes early in 2024, on March 31st, and Ireland's lively artisans, warm hoteliers, and fun guides are eager to share Ireland at its most authentic - before summer crowds arrive.

#2: Mediterranean Views

December is prime time to book the Amalfi Coast. Ever since we launched Celebrated Italy, Villa Franca has been a great partner. Their April rates start at just $900/night, and your clients will thank you for booking this Positano gem for the views alone! Especially popular with couples, guests appreciate the impressive art collection here, along with many updates and upgrades over the past few years.

#3: Celebrated Shining Stars!

The Nominations are in...! For the first time ever, we are delighted to honor the very best Hotels and Travel Advisors with our Celebrated Shining Stars. These awards feature industry icons in categories such as Hotelier of the Year! Have you voted yet? Voting is only open for one more day, so make your vote count here. Choices are not easy, but we crave your feedback so vote now!

#4: Coastal Value Exists in Italy

We continue to hear from travel advisors who crave moderate-priced solutions in Italy. We are proud of our mix of icons and lesser-known treasures, often starting in the $500s/$600s. Grand Hotel Bristol, for example, delights clients with a great team, delicious local cuisine, and panoramic views of the Portofino Coast. The next 60 days is the ultimate booking window. Learn more about why we love it here.

#5: The Gift of Experiences

Our Director of Concierge Services, Frank Laino, is busier than ever booking last-minute tickets for clients coming to London for Winter Break. Don't forget to remind your clients about the extraordinary gift of experiences as they shop for the Holidays. If you have clients coming to our destinations, some of the best gifts are tickets to West End theatre, football matches, and special event tickets like Taylor Swift!
