What makes a faith-based tour truly unforgettable? Is it luxury hotels, comfortable transportation, or something much deeper? In this episode of the ETS Travel Podcast, John and Bethany explore what…
So question for you, Bethany, when people begin comparing tours, what do they usually focus on first in your experience?
They see a really great price and it's somewhere they think their clients are going to want to go or their clients have asked them for.
That's definitely the number one thing usually.
So so when travelers start comparing tours, what are they usually looking at first outside of pricing, would you say?
Yeah.
Just as important as the price, you know, if they say my client wants to go to the Holy Land, you know, they're going to look at the Holy Land itineraries, right? After that, then it's the level of accommodations, because usually that'll be one of the first things a client's going to ask you, right? Like, you know, what are the hotels like? Are they going to be five star, four star? You know, are they pilgrimage style hotels? And then it gets to inclusions and comparing what's included and what's not.
