Holiday Tips

Melissa Krueger, CEO of Classic Vacations, shared valuable insights for advisors booking clients during the holiday season. She noted that while festive season bookings typically surge after Labor Day, the trend is shifting earlier, with some bookings starting as early as July.

Krueger emphasized the importance of using Classic Vacation’s website for up-to-date festive booking availability. “We are being really clear on what we have,” she stated, highlighting the platform’s transparency regarding hotel requirements and inventory.

For those seeking holiday destination inspiration, Krueger recommends Europe, drawing from her personal experience spending holidays in Paris. She encourages advisors to join the Classic community and follow the company on Instagram for ideas on how hotels celebrate the holidays.

With these tech enhancements and expert tips, Classic Vacations continues to support travel advisors in crafting exceptional luxury experiences for their clients.
