Private tours in Italy are the new trend
February 6th, 2008 by MarcoItaly
A research undertaken by tour operator A La Carte Italy Tours studies travel patterns to Italy. That luxury tour company offers chauffeured excursions across all areas of Italy.
Americans travel gladly. How does their travel behavior look? We like traveling on our continent. We are actually a well-traveled people. Americans are always gladly seen guests. And they are popular because of their humor and probably because of their potential. And our preferred destination out of America is Italy.
In order to be able to assess the international travel market, one must differentiate between three categories: mass travel, then the individual tourists, who are independent with a car, or the luxury-seeking tourists.
Those who drive their rental car individually visit particularly Italy and Croatia. The two countries still rank among the usually-visited destinations. Italy has the preference among our journeys abroad.
However if so-called package tours are booked out and crowded, Italy offers so much more with a private driver, guide and limousine. The numbers of the important tour operators underline the new trends.
That leads to a new trend with package tours and component journeys. More than one third of all tours last between 13 and 15 days; another third between five and eight days. The portion of those who can go more than 22 days on vacation, is small.
