Baldwins Steph Witchell, Bespoke Travel Manager, Tunbridge Wells “A honeymoon should be the most memorable holiday you ever take – so don’t try to cut corners. Look at what is available online, but then come and speak to an expert on how to put it all together. Booking on the internet is fraught with pitfalls. If you book the flight and the accommodation separately and one falls through you’ve lost the other. An experienced travel agent will take away the stress from the bride and groom, with a personal touch. The style of honeymoons is changing. Couples are looking for experiences rather than fly and flop. They’ve done that before and want to have experiences – or go somewhere you can combine experiences and activities, and then flop for four or five days. People say: ‘We want to do all these things while we can, because the next step in our journey will be children and we won’t be able to afford it.’ We are doing a lot of safaris for honeymoons and I’ve even done road trips in America, Route 66. A wonderful option is Gaia Island resort off the coast of Borneo, which has rooms on stilts on a beautiful beach with rainforest behind. You can kayak through mangrove forest, go ziplining, snorkelling with the experts in conservation and see orangutans. But on the other hand, while honeymooners’ initial thoughts are the further away the more exotic it’s going to be, do you really want to spend 20 hours on a plane to the Cook Islands? Or would you just like to go to Positano…?” dorkingtravel.co.uk 01306 735757 “The first thing we do when a couple comes in to enquire about a honeymoon is to sit and have a chat about what they are thinking they might want to do. Then we can elaborate on that and make suggestions they haven’t even thought of. It’s about talking to people, listening to their ideas and then telling them the options. We work with so many different operators and have such depth of experience across our branches, we can arrange anything anyone wants to do. We might suggest that they twin centre it, rather than just going to one place. Luxury train trips are huge this year. Not just the Orient Express to Venice, they also do trips in Peru and Malaysia, with stunning suites on the trains. A lot of newlyweds now are doing a luxury ‘mini moon’ short break right after the wedding and then saving up to do a proper honeymoon a year later. After a big swing to the internet, people are coming back to travel agents. There are so many dodgy companies online and we offer price parity with what you find there, but we’ll do everything for you and because of the contacts we have we can get room upgrades and added extras. Many of our clients have got their home already, so they start a Honeymoon Fund with us and ask for contributions to a honeymoon as a wedding present. They have cards they give to wedding guests with our contact details and guests ring in to us to make a contribution. When couples come in to pick up their tickets they get a bottle of prosecco and a wedding card – and we ask them to pop in and have a coffee with us when they come back and they show us their holiday pics. It helps us learn if it’s somewhere we haven’t been ourselves and it’s great to get feedback on hotels and trips, then we know what to recommend to other people.” baldwinstravel.co.uk 01892 506401 WT Wedding Supplement 30
