Adventure Travel Tour Operator Extends Last-Minute Summer Booking Trend for Family Vacations
Adventure Travel Guide Austin-Lehman Adventures adds trips to accommodate last-minute summer travelers and offers free adventure travel insurance and protection coverage for guests booking summer adventure vacations from now through August 31
Billings, MT (PRWEB) June 19, 2005 – Whoops! Summer is creeping up and still no vacation plans? Never fear, there’s one company that thrives on responding to last-minute, packaged vacation bookings.
“Hey, we’re easy,” says Dan Austin, co-founder and director of operations for Austin-Lehman Adventures, a luxury multi-sport, active travel company. “We’ve found ways to manage our trip offerings so that folks who perhaps procrastinated a bit too long or have waited to take advantage of last-minute airline travel deals can still book a trip with us this summer.”
As an added incentive, the company is also offering free adventure travel insurance and protection coverage for guests booking summer adventure vacations from now through August 31. Depending upon the tour price, this translates into a savings of up to $240 per person. Plus at no extra cost, Austin-Lehman Adventures will expedite all documents and pre-departure information via overnight mail for trips leaving inside of 30 days.
Austin says the trend toward last minute bookings has dramatically increased over the past four years. “In 2001, ‘last-minute’ bookings, defined as reservations made inside of 30 days prior to departure, accounted for just 3% of our annual business. This year, we expect that number to be closer to 10%.”
An uncertain economy, international unrest, consumer conditioning to expect summer airfare wars, the growth of the dual working household and resulting complexities of planning a family vacation – for whatever the reason, people are waiting longer and longer to book a summer vacation tour.
