Topdeck releases blockbuster Europe 2015
Topdeck Travel has gathered even greater momentum with the launch of their highly-anticipated Europe 2015 brochure packed with 106 epic trips including 11 new itineraries.
The new-look 166 page brochure offers a wide range of handcrafted trips including sailing escapes, Europe’s festival season, explorer trips for deeper regional experiences and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to commemorate the 100th anniversary of ANZAC.
Sarah Clark from Topdeck Travel told Travel Today they are continually enhancing the product offering to keep up with the demographic who are “always looking for the next best thing in Europe”.
Clark said the emerging destination of the Balkan Peninsular is definitely on top of the list for a lot of young travelers, an area featured more heavily in both regional in-depth trips as well as core longer itineraries for the 2015 program.
Added to this year is the 16 Day Mediterranean Horizons in the Hotel range, mixing in the top ‘must see's’ of Italy with the Balkan region including Italy, 3 nights sailing in Greece, 4 nights in Croatia and also hitting some beautiful Eastern European countries Albania, Montenegro and Slovenia.
Changes in the new Europe 2015 brochure have focused on enhancing current multi country itineraries across the Hotel, Club and Camping range whilst incorporating more Eastern European countries into the longer itineraries.
“Our fastest growing product range is 'Explorer' which is a slower pace, smaller group experience focusing on regional trips, here we have added a Germanic regional trip, increased our sailing offering through Greece, Croatia and Turkey and created a new version of our Eastern Escape trip which now includes 5 nights in Romania,” Clark added.
When asked how agents can better sell the 2015 Europe program, Clark said Topdeck are always enhancing the delivery of our product on the road, however unchanged is the fact that Topdeck offers amazing meals that align with the taste of the country you are visiting, loads of free time and flexibility to ensure it is 'your trip, your way', and clients and agents can be confident that there will be no hidden extras as it is not a part of our culture to ask for tips as some operators enforce.
“We offer group travel for the individual – every trip can be catered to suit each traveler.”
Topdeck takes pride in marketing and promoting the exact product that is delivered on the ground, which means they hit client expectations 99% of the time.
“Happy customers mean we get a very high repeat travel rate and also increases our 'word of mouth'. Delivering exactly the experience we promote is what sets Topdeck apart from our competitors,” Clark said.
Central to the new-season European itineraries is the magazine-style editorial content, expertly crafted by travel insiders within the Topdeck ranks who share their top tips to having an epic European holiday alongside a raft of features.
In adding an extra layer of incentive to get in and book, Topdeck are offering a 10% early bird discount for trips that are booked and paid in full by 16 January 2015.
