USA & CANADA: Evenly split between the 66+ (40%) and Baby Boomers (52%). These passengers are looking to travel to the iconic cities, such as New York City, Boston & San Francisco plus scenic National Parks in Canada & the USA. Includes leisurely cruises, train journeys and historic cities of the east, central & southern USA.

INDIA & NEPAL: This program is ideal for travellers looking for something different. They most likely have visited the mainstream regions like Europe, the UK and USA, and are now looking for something a bit more exotic. Predominantly led by the Baby Boomers (60%) and 66+ (35%), another growing market is the younger age group (35-49 year olds). Insight showcases these destinations in style and ultimate comfort.

AUTUMN, WINTER & SPRING: Our Autumn, Winter & Spring tours have the highest density of young passengers of any of our other Europe tours, with 22% 34 & under. They are heading out on perhaps their first overseas trip and looking for great deals. Winter holidays provide savings of up to 30% less expensive than summer tours. There are significantly lower numbers of 66+ passengers travelling during this time (only 15%), but still high numbers of Baby Boomers. Perfect for teachers, families on school breaks and visiting friends & relatives.

DESTINATION DEMOGRAPHICSEUROPE & BRITAIN: Dominated by Insight’s Primary Target Audience of Baby Boomers (54%) and 66+ (34%).

5 different journey styles in Europe to suit everyone’s travel needs:

• Multi-Country Discovery: The perfect introduction to Europe – experience the diversity of Europe in a single holiday with plenty of free time and fantastic touring experiences – although 50-65 year olds dominate (61%), 20% of our customers are in the 35-49 age range.

• Regional EXPERIENCES: Leisurely itineraries with an in-depth focus on a particular country or region. Perfect for a second tour add-on, popular with Baby Boomers and offers so much choice for the Insight repeat customer.

• Country Roads: Designed by an Insight Vacations Tour Director, this range of exclusive in-depth tours takes you off Europe’s highways and on to enchanting country roads, picturesque villages and towns. You will explore

scenic areas, magical cities and places where others rarely visit. 52% Baby Boomers and 40% 66+.

• Easy Pace: Europe’s most leisurely tours, with a minimum of 3 nights in every stay to ensure plenty of time for in-depth sightseeing and relaxation. Perfect for the Baby Boomers and 66+, but opportunities are there for the younger customer wanting a bit of sightseeing with lots of free time to explore on their own.

• City Breaks: A series of city-stay itineraries bringing freedom, choice & flexibility while avoiding the hassles and unforeseen costs normally associated with travelling on your own. Baby Boomers & 66+ have taken the lead, making up a total of 88% of passengers.

INSIGHT GOLD: A luxury collection of escorted journeys on which passengers travel effortlessly in absolute comfort, elegance and style. These tours are predominantly frequented by Baby Boomers and 66+, who are well travelled and are looking for unique experiences and the ultimate in luxury, dining and hospitality.
