Globus downsizes groups for continued advisor success
The Globus family of brands recently launched a series of NEW Small Group Discovery tours.
Globus’ new Small Group Discovery tours were built from the ground-up for fewer guests which means they’re designed with unique and immersive experiences only made possible for small groups.
These new tours offer an average of 14 included excursions for clients, including:
- Spending the night in a former Franciscan Monastery in Pienza (Enchanting Italy)
- Partaking in an after-hours poetry reading at William Wordsworth’s home (Extraordinary England & Scotland)
- Guided sightseeing with a local painter followed by a painting class in Arles (Paris & Provence)
- Overnighting on the islands of Brac and Hvar (Croatian Island Hopper)
- Spending the evening on a walking food tour of Santa Fe (Enchanted New Mexico)
- “Glamping” in luxurious tents with Yellowstone as the backdrop (Majestic Montana & Yellowstone)
“With an aver. “age per diem of $500, our Small Group Discovery tours deliver a premium product to clients,” said Camille Olivere, chief sales officer for the Globus. “Promising fewer fellow travellers and incredible, immersive experiences, these new tours invite advisors to introduce the many benefits of touring to clients while earning higher profits with the click of a button. Our partners know that every dime spent with Globus translates to commissions earned.”
More ways to sell small
While Globus’ new Small Group Discovery tours will average just 15 guests (18 on tours outside Europe), there are even more ways for advisors to sell “small” with the company next year.
In 2025, Globus will offer the widest range of vacations for smaller groups with nearly 250 tours, totaling more than 5,000 departures across 70 countries.
“From next-gen river cruising to 12 styles of touring, we have it all,” said Olivere. “What advisors might not know is that nearly our entire touring portfolio can be sold ‘small,’ including small group departure dates on a vast selection of vacations. These special departures are available on 75 percent (75%) of Globus tours and average just 24 guests.”
Across all vacation styles, from river cruising to touring, the Globus family of brands is now catering to the “small is in” trend. The details:
