Avanti Destinations has partnered with the Tourist Office of Spain (TURESPAÑA) to educate and inspire advisors and their clients about customized independent travel to Spain. Avanti sells custom independent (FIT) travel exclusively through travel advisors.
The new joint campaign focuses on the cities of Barcelona, Madrid and Seville with three customizable suggested vacations in a 24-page e-brochure, “La Buena Vida; Savor the Good Life in Spain,” available on Avanti’s advisor portal. Besides descriptions of destinations, the e-brochure gives advisors helpful information for planning independent travel to and around Spain, including the best times to visit, typical food and drink, and transportation options.
Travel advisors can tailor each vacation selecting from over 180 hotels, 13 recommended vacations and over 100 activities, transfers, tours, and experiences that the tour operator offers throughout Spain. Experiences described in the e-brochure include: A paella cooking class with market visit; wine cellar tour; all-day excursion in Toledo; private walking and driving city tours; tapas walking tour; and flamenco and tapas dinner.
Of the three vacations described in the e-brochure, two are new, including the seven-day “Spanish Heritage” itinerary. It is a self-drive vacation that includes stays in Madrid, Toledo and Segovia (home to a Roman aqueduct and historic city center), with suggested stops in Avila and the royal monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial. The package includes private tapas walking tour in Madrid, private walking tour of Toledo, plus entrance to the cathedral and synagogue; car rental; choice of hotel accommodation; and daily breakfast.
The new nine-day “Culture and Tradition” itinerary by rail and includes stays in Madrid and the Andalusian cities of Cordoba, Seville and Granada, all showing the cultural and culinary influence of 700 years of Arab rule.
