Tailor-made travel: what you’ve always wanted to know about it!

First of all, it's a niche market that is in full development. Secondly, I know that while most of you travel independently, this type of travel may interest you at some point.

What is a tailor-made trip?

Tailor-made travel is a niche in tourism that has developed a lot in recent years. This type of travel echoes a fundamental movement that we observe in our societies: a desire to live unique experiences, at least more personalized. Numerous travel agencies have specialized in this niche of customized travel. This type of travel meets several criteria:
  • personnalisation of the trip. An adviser will meet with you to find out your tastes and expectations. Then, he will be able to propose you adapted accommodations and activities.
  • It is possible to modify the trip according to your tastes.
  • you can also choose a guide.
  • some agencies offer other services such as 24-hour assistance, a personalised travel diary on your smartphone, etc.
In a tailor-made trip, you can set up everything: dates, flights, hotels, activities, guide or not etc... The price of this type of trip is of course higher than the "classic" trips that you can find everywhere on the Internet. Customization has a cost. I know a lady who travels this way alone. At over 80 years old, she still goes through this kind of agency. What she likes most of all is cultural travel. Also, the presence of a guide is indispensable for her. She leaves several times a year in this way. This can be a good compromise for those who do not want to go on their own.

The conception of a tailor-made trip

Like I said, a lot of agencies in this niche. I wanted to interview the head of one of them: Amplitudes. This agency was created in 1991, so it has been around for quite a while.
Travel ideas

There is no shortage of ideas for trips and festivals in France, where cultural events irresistibly attract tourists. Various festivals re-released every year become the means of attracting as many tourists and travellers as possible to France. Festive events tend to develop in several French regions in order to expose them in a significant way on an international level. The aim is to promote cultural treasures. The government contributes to the enhancement of activities by improving tourism policies and offering promotions for professionals in the sector.

Holiday rental

It's almost the end of the year holiday and what could be better than a holiday in the sun, by the sea? But when you don't have a house by the sea or in a place near the beach, the solution is to rent it. There is nothing better than spending the holidays with your family, by the sea. Imagine the sea air you feel, the sound of the waves that will rock your night, the softness of the white sand under your feet and the blue as far as the eye can see... The authentic taste of a good dish of cold meats and cheese. A house that reminds us of summer at all seasons, shimmering colours, the warm welcome of the locals. A dream come true, even in the space of a few days. And to be able to experience this, the holiday rental is the most suitable.
