Avanti Debuts Last-Minute Booking Phone Line

Suggests Destinations with Plenty of Summertime Availability

 

Portland, OR, May 7, 2024 – For travel advisors with a new client who is in a hurry to travel, or a client who has delayed their decision about where to go this summer, Avanti has launched a Last-Minute Booking phone line, 1-888-970-0341, fully dedicated for advisors needing to book a trip seven to 30 days prior to client departure. Advisors can alternately e-mail lastminute@avantidestinations.com.

 

Avanti also has suggestions for international summer destinations with plenty of availability.

 

“In Europe, we still have good summer availability in Greece at some of the best places to stay, as well as private and small group sightseeing tours on popular Santorini and Mykonos islands,” noted Gina Bang, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Avanti. “Outside of Europe, right now is peak season in Peru, the most popular destination in South America, so we’d like to suggest that advisors book their clients there in September, October and November – when there are fewer tourists, and more sun, warmer temperatures than peak dry season.”

 

Currently there is good availability in those fall months for tours of the Sacred Valley and Cuzco.  In addition, Avanti has just announced new experiences for foodie clients: in the Sacred Valley, a private tour of the Misminay Community with a Pachamanca lunch, prepared in an earthen oven, and Andean distillery tour; in Lima, a private gastronomic night tour with dinner.

 

The Portland, Oregon-based wholesale tour operator creates and sells custom-built FIT* and group travel 365 days a  year to Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, North Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South America exclusively through travel advisors, not directly to consumers.
