According to a 2003 YPB&R Survey, the family travel market has
increased by more that 12 percent over the past three years. At the
same time, luxury destinations around the globe have been
transforming their properties and services to truly embrace that
market. In an effort to blend the two, Classic Custom Vacations has
announced its exclusive Let’s Go Together program to help families
find and experience the perfect luxury vacation.
According to Suzi LeVine, vice president of marketing for
Classic Custom Vacations, the new program was created to make
luxury travel more convenient and accessible.
“We designed the Let’s Go Together program to tap into the core
needs of family travelers by providing special offers and valuable
information to help them research and plan their ideal luxury
vacation,” noted LeVine. “For example, many families need more than
one room in order to accommodate everyone, plus they want
entertainment and kid-friendly services, she explained. Other
families want to stay in a condo or villa and enjoy the comforts of
home combined with the lush services and amenities of a
resort.”
Available at select hotels in all five of Classic’s destinations
(Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean, America and Europe), the Let’s Go
Together program features such benefits as a 50 percent discount on
a second room, an age-appropriate welcome amenity basket for kids,
complimentary meals for kids 12 and under, up to five complimentary
hours of in-room video games and even cookies and milk at
turndown.
LeVine stated that the luxury experience begins even before
guests arrive thanks to special discounted rates on airfare and car
rentals. Families get up to 40 percent off all rates to Hawaii on
Aloha Airlines or up to 10 percent off first-class rates to Hawaii
through Hawaiian Airlines. Once they arrive, clients will receive a
special Hertz offer for free car seats and an upgrade from a
mini-van to an SUV.
The Let’s Go Together program is available exclusively through
Classic, and is valid for bookings made by June 30 for travel
through Dec. 15.
“We want families to enjoy the luxury travel experience, and
with the Let’s Go Together offer, they can find their home away
from home whether it is at a private condo or villa or at a
first-class resort,” said LeVine. “Kids will love the special VIP
treatment, parents will love the added value and everyone will
enjoy a memorable family vacation.”
