FEATURE KANSAS & OKLAHOMA
KANSAS & OKLAHOMA Top Selling Tips...
• Americans complain about their fuel prices but these are way below those in the UK. Advise your clients to return rental cars with a full tank as car hire firms charge a lot more for gas than do filling stations
• Avoid the tornado seasons – generally in April and September. Late spring is a good time to visit, with its wealth of wildflowers and dazzlingly green grasslands
• If your client wants to include some lively nightlife, advise them to try the Bricktown District in Oklahoma City. Wichita also has a busy downtown bar and restaurant quarter
• This is a big region. One-way tailor- made itineraries are an option to a round tour. Kansas City, Tulsa and Oklahoma City are all good kick-off points with frequent services to major US hubs for transatlantic connections
• Anyone who has ever played cowboys and Indians will relish a visit to what was frontier territory little more than a century ago
Tourism Talk LISA WEIGHT
Travel Kansas / Oklahoma “There’s a lot of ground to be covered but
packaging Kansas and Oklahoma together – as we have been doing for nearly a decade – makes a lot of sense for UK and Irish visitors. “A perfect fly-drive destination, these
two attraction-filled states are very much inter-connected by their history and their culture and are accustomed to working together. “There’s also a close affinity between
Brits and the people here, many of whom are of fairly recent British descent – including more than a few first-
generation settlers. “The good news for retailers is that,
with prices still so reasonable compared with say New York, New England and California, there’s a very real opportunity to sell upgrades and add-ons.
From The Front Line RUBY BRIGGS
North America Travel Service "Kansas and Oklahoma
are two states that are relatively unknown and rarely featured in UK tour operator brochures so there's a lot of work to be done to lift the awareness of the region. We have created a couple of fly-drive itineraries to highlight to
potential travellers what makes the region different from so many other parts of the US. “Visitors to Kansas and Oklahoma are
typically fourth or fifth time visitors to the USA. They are not beach-seekers or theme park fans but usually couples looking to experience the flavour of the Old West and Native Indian heritage that is so rich in these two states."
