Winter Wonderland Retreats

Embrace the enchantment of the season by offering Winter Wonderland Retreat packages. Include cosy accommodation with a fireplace, season-themed decorations, and complimentary hot chocolate. Guests can also enjoy festive activities like building a snowman, ice skating, or even reindeer sleigh rides, depending on your location. Consider collaborating with local artisans to provide guests with holiday-inspired souvenirs or personalised ornaments as part of their package.

Christmas Market Extravaganza

Christmas markets have gained immense popularity in recent years. Create a package that immerses guests in the charm of these markets by offering guided tours to nearby markets or showing them the hidden gems where the locals shop and celebrate over the festive season. Include a stay in your hotel with a holiday-themed room setup, such as a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Enhance the experience with a complimentary gift wrapping service, or have Santa deliver guests` gifts to their family suite. Creating a magical setting and ambience will appeal to those that wish to get away but want to still celebrate a traditional Christmas.

Home-Away-From-Home Packages

Many travellers seek a homey atmosphere during the holiday season. Offer a Home-Away-From-Home package that includes spacious suites with fully equipped kitchens, so guests can prepare their own holiday feasts. Provide a package with pre-purchased ingredients for a traditional Christmas dinner, complete with a recipe book. Additionally, consider hosting communal gatherings like gingerbread house decorating contests or carol singing to create a sense of togetherness.

Spa and Wellness Escapes

The holiday season can be stressful, making spa and wellness packages a hit. Combine luxurious spa treatments with a tranquil atmosphere and festive touches. Include extras like aromatherapy sessions, hot stone massages, and access to sauna facilities. Offer guests a selection of holiday-themed spa treatments, such as peppermint-infused massages or gingerbread body scrubs, to truly pamper them during their stay.

Adventure and Exploration

For those seeking adventure, design packages that cater to their adventurous spirit. Incorporate activities like snowboarding, sandboarding, zip-lining, or husky sledding into your package offerings. Consider bundling these activities with guided tours of nearby natural wonders, like frozen waterfalls or national parks. Add value by including equipment rental, expert guides, and transportation to these exciting destinations.

Culinary Delights

Food is an integral part of the holiday season. Collaborate with local chefs to create special Christmas menus featuring regional delicacies. Offer cooking classes, wine-tasting sessions, or mixology workshops where guests can learn to create festive cocktails. To sweeten the deal, provide guests with a holiday cookbook featuring the recipes they've learned, allowing them to recreate the magic at home.

Give Back to the Community

Incorporate a sense of giving into your Christmas travel packages. Partner with local charities and organise activities like volunteering at a soup kitchen or collecting donations for a good cause. Include a portion of the package price as a donation to the chosen charity. This not only adds a heartwarming dimension to the experience but also resonates with travellers seeking meaningful ways to celebrate the season.

This holiday season, make your hotel a destination of choice by crafting Christmas travel packages that align with the latest trends and offer unique experiences. From Winter Wonderland Retreats to Christmas Market Extravaganzas, Spa and Wellness Escapes to Culinary Delights, there are countless ways to create memorable stays for your guests. Consider value-added extras, out-of-the-box ideas, and partnerships with local businesses and charities to truly set your packages apart. By staying attuned to the desires of modern travellers, you can ensure a joyful and prosperous holiday season for your hotel.
