RD Travel Limited’s November Newsletter

Dear Russ,

For the past few months, I have been working with venders and investigating new locations to be able to offer you the best vacation possible.

What is most important to you when you go on vacation?

·     Is it less hassle and more relaxation?

·     Is visiting new places with new experiences?

·     Are you interested in action and adventure, family fun, wellness? 

These are just a few of the many options available to travelers.

Here are some of my opinions. Disney’s pricing has become absurd. A one-day ticket at certain times of the year can be as high as $200 per person. If you have noticed their promotions, it’s while the kids are in school. You’ll pay a premium price during holidays, summer and spring break. Universal Studios, on the other hand, is opening a new section in March. Their pricing is more realistic.

The All-Inclusive Resorts world has not escaped the high price syndrome. What you have to look for here is price versus value. In some cases, you are paying a 5-star price for a 3-star value. The great thing about All-Inclusive Resorts is that you are not being nickel and dimed to death. There is no extra charge for drinks or food.

Not so with the cruise lines. This is a nickel and dime world. We all know that every business must make a profit. You figure out what your bottom line is. How much profit do you want to make. What type of promotions during the year are you going to offer and how much will they cost. You then set your pricing accordingly. It’s all relative. Just remember. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Thinking about All-inclusive Resorts on Caribbean Islands or the East and West coast of Mexico? There are huge resorts with as many as 1,000 rooms or do you want a more intimate experience? It all depends on what is most important to you. Check my website for my favorites, Sandals, Beaches and Couples Resorts. Call me and I can walk you through it.

It is my job to help you choose the best vacation possible. I will never recommend any location or venue that I would not visit myself.

I am as close to you as phone and I’m here to help you with all your vacation needs.
