The Gift of Travel

Most of you are aware of the multitude of gift registries. You know almost every department store in the world has a registry for some type of celebration, and baby stores have baby shower registries. And of course there are several wedding and honeymoon registries. But recently I ran across a wonderful Trip Registry with one of our favorite tour companies – Brendan Tours.

So, what is the Trip Registry?

We give travelers a way to register their entire trip online. It works just like a gift registry - the traveler wants to have parts of their tour paid for as a gift. Instead of buying them a sweater or a music CD, you can give them part of their trip to Italy. The traveler has listed their selected trip itinerary for friends and family to contribute toward as a gift.

And just what kind of gifts would be listed on a Trip Registry?

Besides the typical honeymoon, how about a weddingmoon (those getting married at their favorite destination and combining the wedding with the honeymoon), birthdays, and family reunions. Or perhaps you have a graduating high school or college student that is taking that long talked about European vacation? Christmas, Hanukah, or maybe just because someone deserves a great vacation? (Never too late to start planning that gift!)

Most people can’t afford to give their mom, dad, sister, brother, you fill in the blank – a nice vacation – but you can contribute to one by using the registry. The travelers go online, find the tour of their dreams, break down the cost of the entire vacation into affordable modules and send it out to friends and family. They in turn, go online, purchase a portion of the trip and thus have contributed to their favorite son, daughter, niece, nephew, you fill in the blank’s dream trip.


Thinking about taking that very special trip to Europe, South Pacific, Africa, Egypt, South or Central America, Asia or the US and Canada? Call or email me at Azumano Travel and we can arrange that Travel Registry with Brendan Tours. I’ve worked with this company for over 30 years and they are a quality operator.

How about just a Travel Gift Card?

Yes, we have those too! Travel gift cards are just like any other type of gift card. You set the amount and give the card to your mom, dad, sister, brother, you fill in the blank....they get to choose where they want to go and apply their travel gift. Call me today, I can set up the registry or a gift card.
