While many summer trips were cancelled or postponed, travelers dreaming of a fall vacation after a stressful start to 2020 can find some helpful suggestions from the luxury travel experts at Protravel International and Tzell Travel Group. For those who are looking to plan a last-minute getaway within driving distance or a short flight, the savvy travel advisors at these top travel consultancies compiled a sampling of outstanding properties with exclusive perks.
“Traveling is one of the key activities that people miss the most, but some are not ready to venture too far from home,” said Becky Powell, chief strategy officer for Protravel International and Tzell Travel Group. “Our advisors are finding great solutions for couples, families and friends who want a change of scenery and a chance to decompress with a little pampering in a lovely, uncrowded setting.”
The yearning to escape for a bit is especially strong among city-dwellers, travel advisors said, who long for some fresh air and a respite in a natural environment. Christy Danforth, a luxury travel advisor with Tzell, said bookings for festive season are picking up.
“Most inquiries have been from families with children of various ages. After many months of quarantine, families are looking to travel during the holiday season. Most travel requests in August have also been for families needing a change of scenery,” she said, noting for those looking to drive, the White Barn Inn and Hidden Pond in Maine are popular spots.
