Alaska Tip: HOT Destination Statistics – Alaska again in 2017. Rush season is upon us !

 

Was at our annual conference, this past week, with Cruises Inc.  Along with all the major cruise lines and land tour operators, the press, our staff, and more !

We heard from several vendors, expressing destination statistics.  2017 TOP cruising destination (Alaska vs Europe), was pointed  ‘back at Alaska’ again ! 

So where is the HOT destination in 2017 ?  Right now … Alaska !

Venture where everyone else wants to go in 2017 ?  Or, turn to Europe, with possibly less tourists ?
 

What does this mean to the consumer in 2017 ?

*More ships have been placed in Alaska
*Cruise Lines have a big focus on Alaska.  Many offers have taken place in the last 6 months.
*More travelers will be in Alaska
*More sales in 2016 for 2017, have already taken place for Alaska (meaning, ships filling up).
*Pricing are rising … As I write this.

If you too, want to venture to Alaska in 2017, whether it’s your 1^st time, or ready to cruise Alaska again … It’s time !  Time to get your adventure booked !  Even before the 1^st of the year, during rush season !

What is rush season ?  Jan to Mid-March. When those folks who can’t book earlier or don’t think to book early, call these months, in a rush/panic, to get their next year’s vacation confirmed.

If nothing is holding you back from getting your 2017 vacation booked … CALL NOW !

Let me walk you through … What you’ll be glad you knew.
