Adventure Weekends — New Internet Vacation Business Appeals to Busy Professionals
Adventure Weekends — New Internet Vacation Business Appeals to Busy Professionals
Detroit, MI (PRWEB) March 26, 2007
There is an emerging trend among men and women 25 to 45 years of age. They like activity and adventure, but lack the time from their jobs or family and the resources to fly to Switzerland for a ski trip or New Zealand for skydiving thrill ride. There have always been adventure outfitters, but now an experienced independent tour company has, through the Internet, packaged adventure weekends, modestly priced, close to home or centrally located to a group of far flung friends.
Darren Hitz, founder of Adventure Bachelor Party, recently launched Adventure Weekends, which plans unique, adventure-based weekend trips for groups of friends that are looking to make great memories. Adventure Weekends takes care of all the details, from lodging, dining, ground transportation, entertainment and the adventure. “What separates me from your typical travel agent or online travel search engine is that I have personally crafted each adventure location to meet my standards and those of my friends,” said Darren. Age 30, with degrees from University of Notre Dame and University of Michigan, he knows the market.
Twenty-seven percent of the US population is in this age group. They are comfortable with Internet searches and willing to trust payment made on line. Many times they have saved up travel points, so all they need is a packaged adventure weekend that starts when they arrive. However they do like choices and flexibility. That is where these “tours” differ from traditional busloads with predetermined stops for lunch and sight seeing. These Adventure Weekends offer the group flexibility in restaurants, lodging and even the adventure. From the extreme of sky diving in San Diego to deep sea fishing in the Atlantic, or white water rafting in West Virginia to cattle drives in Texas, Adventure Weekends offers more than 30 locations and a variety of adventures, all priced under $ 500. This also makes these Adventure Weekends different from the mega buck, high roller “Mancations” designed just for guys with overflowing bank accounts.
Another difference from the traditional tour is that these adventures are designed just for friends or those that have a common bond (alumni, church, social club, co workers). You won’t find strangers sharing your raft or the dinner table. This makes for a closer knit group, great stories from the past and super memories to be shared later after the trip is over. Special T-shirts and videos are often part of the package.
