WHY IT RATES: Throughout its 50-plus-year history, Central Holidays has always put the travel advisor first, a fact that is clearly evidenced in the offerings showcased in the new 2027 Italy Escorted Brochure, which, among other things, includes information on guaranteed small-group departure dates and early booking savings – all of which are designed to help agents more seamlessly sell the tour operator’s program. — Claudette Covey, Executive Retail Editor.
Central Holidays, the award-winning travel company that has specialized in Italy for more than 50 years, proudly announces the release of its new 2027 Italy Escorted Tours Brochure, showcasing the company’s signature Italy escorted travel experiences that operate as small groups complete with Guaranteed Departure dates, newly released 2027 departures, and exclusive Early Booking Savings designed to help travel advisors confidently book one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
Created by Central Holidays’ Italy destination specialists and supported by the company’s dedicated destination management office in Rome, the new brochure highlights the company's signature style of affordable-luxury travel while traveling in small groups that combine immersive sightseeing, authentic regional experiences, centrally located accommodations, professional English-speaking tour directors, and seamless travel planning from arrival through return home.
With Guaranteed Departures continuing to become increasingly rare throughout the escorted travel industry, Central Holidays is once again reaffirming its commitment to travel advisors and their clients by guaranteeing the operation of its featured escorted tours, allowing advisors to book with confidence while providing travelers with valuable peace of mind.
“Our new 2027 Italy Escorted Tours brochure reflects everything Central Holidays has stood for since 1972 – authentic destination expertise, meticulous planning, and an unwavering commitment to creating unforgettable Italian experiences,” said Roberta Micarelli Yorrie, Director of Regional Strategy – Italy, France, and Greece.
“Every itinerary has been thoughtfully developed by our destination specialists and will be flawlessly delivered by our travel planning team here in the United States and our colleagues on the ground in Italy. Among the greatest advantages we continue to offer travel advisors is the fact that our Italy escorted programs operate as small groups and we provide the peace of mind of Guaranteed Departures. Today, very few companies are willing to offer that commitment, making it an incredibly valuable benefit for advisors who want the confidence of knowing their clients’ vacations will operate as planned.”
For more than five decades, Central Holidays has earned its reputation as one of North America’s foremost travel specialists to Italy. The company’s extensive firsthand destination knowledge, long-established supplier relationships, and dedicated staff in Italy allow travelers to experience the country from a uniquely local perspective while providing travel advisors with an experienced partner who works as an extension of their own business.
