FEATURE USA: THE SOUTH
JONATHAN COUCH USA Product Manager, Travelbag “The southern states
region is quite a difficult area to sell as there is still something of a lack of awareness in the UK and only two direct flight options from the UK into Raleigh and Atlanta. It is best suited to the fly-drive/touring markets and clients looking for more of a cultural holiday.”
RUSSELL JAMES Tours & Cruises’ Product Executive, Cosmos “Our ‘New Orleans, Old
South and Florida’ tour continues to be one of our best-selling tours as the blend of cultures and musical heritage in the Deep South is hard to find anywhere else in the world.
I love New Orleans’ range of attractions, like listening to jazz at Preservation Hall or eating traditional beignets at the original French
market coffee stand which has been there for 150 years!”
RUBY
BRIGGS Product Manager,
North America Travel Service
“North Carolina continues to be popular for those looking for a combination of beaches, city
culture and
amazing scenery. The Great Smoky Mountains in the western part of the state and the Outer Banks in the east provide a great combination. Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama are all popular for visitors interested in the great variety of music in the region and a couple of our fly-drives are built around the region’s music.”
