Travel should inspire, not exclude!

Too often, disabled passengers face unnecessary challenges; from mishandled devices to poor accessibility.

We know that some barriers - like installing lifts in listed historical sites - are difficult to overcome. At Veenus we also know that small changes, like clear and easy to obtain communication and thoughtful planning, can make a world of difference.

Small changes can create big impacts. What accessibility improvements do you want to see? Share below.

What is Emotional Loyalty? 💙

Emotional loyalty happens when customers return, not because it’s the cheapest or easiest option, but because they feel valued and understood.

In travel, it’s the small moments - a welcoming check-in, a thoughtful extra few towels in the bathroom, a waiter who remembers your breakfast order.

Consumers don’t choose between experiences. They choose between memories of experiences. And when these memories are strengthened by consistent service, they build into trust.

A brand doesn’t just sell services; it creates feelings. In the end, loyalty isn’t built with points or perks - it’s built with how you make people feel.

How is your brand shaping its story in the minds of your customers?

The trend for 2025 is Micro-Adventure!

At Veenus, we specialise in curating those unique, one-off experiences that turn your getaway into something truly special. It could be a luxury scenic train journey or perhaps exclusive access to an iconic attraction, or maybe even a visit to a well-hidden gem. We believe in transforming a regular holiday into something extra-ordinary by building in a memorable micro-adventure.

Cheap prices shouldn’t mean cheap service. 💡
Squeezing suppliers to the bone hurts everyone - and worse, it hurts the brand. Quality isn’t just about cost; it’s about mindset. Thoughtful staff, beautifully plated food and resourcefulness don’t have a price tag; they’re the essence of service excellence. Let’s raise the bar. ✨💼

6 Misconceptions about Group Travel Packages

☝️Group travel is just for old people
Wrong! Itineraries are now crafted to cater for younger travellers (and multi-gen families). And you can even ask for bespoke.

☝️It won’t include everything I want to see
Think again. Our itineraries are packed with fresh destinations, unique hotels and unexpected experiences.

☝️Everyone will be the same
Hardly. With 20+ people, there’s no way everyone will be the same! Group travel opens your mind because we do promise different people.

☝️It won’t go at my (faster) pace
We balance structured tours with free time so you can explore your way.

☝️It’s all cheap and cheerful
Not anymore. Think top-tier service, luxury stays, and moments you’ll talk about for years. It's not a bargain holiday - it’s about creating memories.

☝️It’s all mainstream stuff
Nope. We go beyond ordinary, delivering unforgettable experiences with a story to tell.

Are you a me-mooner?

Travelers – even older ones - know what they want. Same tired tours? They won’t cut it.

Keep up or get left behind. Test bold ideas. Worst case, you fail and learn. Best case, it’s a game-changer.

If you’re not improving the experience or adding value, you’re already outdated. Check out our evolving tour packages!

On one of our recent tours, guests - well-travelled, tech-savvy, and active - shared why they still choose their local tour operator.

It’s simple: it removes the hassle.

No hotel research, arranging transport or juggling attraction bookings. With everything planned - driver on hand, hotels and meals sorted and seamless transport = they could focus on the experience.

Technology has made some parts of travel easier, but organising a trip still takes time (on average, five days!).

Sometimes, letting someone else take care of the details just makes sense.

A wave of mediocrity has settled over the travel experience - contactless tech is everywhere, but personal service has vanished, and daily housekeeping is now a luxury reserved for high-end properties. Yet, smaller independent hotels are disrupting the new norm. With a sharp mindset and understanding global chains often lack, they’re filling the gaps - reviving concierge-level care and bringing back the warmth and human connection travellers crave.

💡 1% Better Every Day

When we review our tours, we don’t just repeat the same for next year. We break the tours down, improve each part by 1%, and rebuild something even better.
Here’s the math: 1% better every day for a year = 37x better! 🚀
