Top European Tour Operator Secures Special Deals to Kickstart Sales to Egypt

Rye, NY: Insight Vacations announced today its intention to resume promoting tours in Egypt. In light of the political unrest seen in the country over the past few months, the tour operator had put a hold on any advertising of Egyptian departures. Now that most governments have lifted their restricted travel directives on Egypt and tourism, Insight has decided now is the perfect time to start promoting their Egyptian product once again.

According to Marc Kazlauskas, President of Insight Vacations, “We have been monitoring the situation in Egypt very closely and are completely confident that our tours will operate effectively and safely. Our staff in Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, as well as our hoteliers in St Catherine, Alexandria and Sinai, are all ready and eager to be receiving Insight guests once more.”

Kazlauskas noted, “Egypt is a country with an amazing culture and is the trip of a lifetime for many people. By travelling sooner, rather than later, you can see some of the greatest monuments in the world without the crowds.”

Kazlauskas also announced another reason why “travelling sooner, rather than later” is beneficial to travelers: “Insight has negotiated major savings on tours in Egypt through August 31st. By offering these discounts we really want to pique interest again in Egypt and show people how confident we really are that the time to book Egypt is now.”

Discounts will be available for those booking Egypt tours departing from May 1st through August 31st. Clients who are already booked on Egyptian departures for this time period will have the reductions automatically applied to their current bookings.

Below are a few examples of the discounts currently being offered:

• Save $145 per person on the 10-day Wonders of Egypt NOW priced from $2154 per person, twin share (land only)
• Save $180 per person on the 13-day Splendors of Egypt NOW priced from $2519 per person, twin share (land only)
• Save $180 per person on the 12-day Jewels of the Nile, Lake Nasser and Abu Simbel NOW priced from $2770 per person, twin share (land only)
• Save $280 per person on the 18-day Grand Tour of Egypt NOW priced from $3495 per person, twin share (land only)
