Upmarket operator Cox & Kings has launched its Small Group Tours 2022-23 preview brochure early to cater for consumer demand.
The operator has reported longer lead times for bookings, from an average of three months to 10 months.
It is also seeing demand for certain destinations such as Latin America, India, Middle East and the Far East, and types of tours such as arts, culture and solo travel.
Kerry Golds, managing director of Cox & Kings, said: “With pent-up demand and limited capacity at peak travel times, we recognise the desire for travellers to secure their tour spot early.
“Our clients are telling us they wanted to make up for lost time and ensure they didn’t miss out – that’s why we’ve launched our preview brochure now with dates for all our top-selling tours into 2023.”
The brochure includes the company’s newest tour type, the Spotlight tours, launched in January 2021 to cater to requests for single-centre tours in Europe.
There are seven new tours, with the Spotlight on Malta the top-seller to date.
