At Experience Travel there are certain things we like.<\/p>\n
One of those things is good, clear and sensible special offers. We like what will help us make a sale – basically what will appeal to our clients.
\n
\nWe like free night offers – everyone likes a free night. We like upgrade offers, we like free meals, we like free spa treatments.’ We even like free transfers, free excursions; anything free’ is good really. Anything that genuinely adds value to a trip is good – though it must be very tangible. Otherwise, hoteliers, you are only wasting your own time.<\/p>\n
We like clear conditions on these (i.e.’ free night offer for all left handed scorpio in November if booked in May is really no use to us or our clients).<\/p>\n
Most hotels offer a free bottle of wine to honeymooners and usually a basket of fruit or somesuch.’ We reckon our clients are way too intelligent to get overly excited about either of those in advance (though they can be a very nice little bonus on arrival – the wine particularly!). And as for hotels that advertise in advance that they will decorate your bed with petals: refrain! Do it if you must, but it’s no use boasting about it.<\/p>\n
But our absolute pet hate is hotels contacting us to tell us about special offers that involve clients spending more money. A reduction on rates for local services are just a way of pointing out’that while the hotel may have accepted your money for the booking – they don’t feel your spending stops with that!<\/p>\n
Of course, we are Experience Travel<\/a> will help you sort the wheat from the chaff when planning your perfect holiday in Sri Lanka<\/a>, The Maldives, Vietnam<\/a>, Laos<\/a>, Cambodia<\/a> or Thailand<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Experience Travel there are certain things we like.<\/p>\n One of those things is good, clear and sensible special offers.
