Special occasion trips: Ideas to inspire your customers

A holiday is a perfect way for clients to celebrate a special occasion, whether they’re a couple, multigenerational family or even a solo traveller.

“I recently sold a 50th birthday to a solo traveller who wanted to go to the Body Holiday,” says Stacey Owens, store manager at Kuoni Peter Jones. “There’s a really sociable vibe with the staff and other solo guests, so clients can have as much or as little company as they choose.”

Not only is it important to think outside the box for special occasion breaks, it’s also handy to see them as a commission booster, with scope to add extra touches, such as airport lounge access or a luxury hotel transfer.
