Collette’s Bright 2010Following a strong increase in the number of passenger names collected for 2010, family-owned tour operator Collette Vacations is citing 2010 as one of the best in the company’s more than 90 years of operation.
“We’ve seen a huge increase in demand for 2010,” said John Galvin, Collette’s chief financial officer. “In 2010, we will operate more dates and have more guaranteed dates than in 2009. The trend we are seeing right now is actually running a 50 percent increase week over week.”
In May, Collette will include air-inclusive tours to every destination that it visits. The company also recently published a desktop reference brochure for travel agents, “Worldwide Travel — Escorted Tours to All 7 Continents,” as a
complement to its downloadable e-brochures. Agents may request their own copy of the brochure at www.collettevacations.com/agents.
