What are the Pros and Cons of getting married abroad?

In order to make a decision about this topic, we need to find out what the Pros and Cons are.We all have different ideas on what will be our ideal wedding will be.Going abroad to have a wedding won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but in the current money situation you might find you even save a few pennies.

 

Lets have a look at some of the Pros ofweddings abroad.So if your wondering about heading to somewhere like the Caribbean it will be easy to find some good points.For starters the clouds aren’t likely to threaten your wedding, you can remain confident that the sun will be beaming down on you. Also and somehwhat strangley it appears that going abroad to get married could actually be cheaper than having your wedding at home. Because it is so expensive to have your wedding at home, many people are thinking about having thier wedding abroad to save money.

 

Obviously the best part about it is that you can start your honeymoon straight away, no extra flights because youre already in the perfect location to have a great time. Why get married at home when you can have aluxury holidayfor your wedding.

 

Now we cant just look at the good parts about this, unfortunately there are some Cons. The first and probably the most important is that you might find that not all of the people you invite will be able to make it, getting the time off work or for them to get to the desired location will make it hard for some to do so.Another key point when looking for a wedding abroad, is to check to see if the location you are looking at has a residency policy.Some countries will ask you to live where you want to have your wedding for a small amount of time, the good thing is you can enjoy the sun for a while longer.

 

One more problem you might find is that the wedding you have abroad might not be recognised by the church at home, but if you dont mind having a civil ceremony followed by a blessing when you get back you can overcome this pretty easily.

 

So what is the best decision? Some people will like to get married in a church, but some will like to have thier wedding abroad on a sandy beach, in the end it depends on what you really want. What is it that you would like to do on your special day, aCaribbean holidayin the place of your dreams, or at the church where you know you will have all of your family and friends to be with you?

Travel Agencies using smell to entice holiday makers!!

This new creation has all come about because of the recession, the travel agents need to get some higher conversion rates, and this technique appears to be working. Travel agents have been using some exotic smells in their offices to help remind customers of what they are missing out on. The smells are supposed to remind customers of previous holidays, trying to jog their memories.

Encouraging people to book holidays can be a quite a task unless they have already made up their minds. We may not be able to detect them immediately and we may not notice them at all, but it might be enough to convince you to take that holiday. These travel agents are using the smell of; oranges, and coconuts to create a different smelling experience for different places, oranges work well with the Mediterranean. Barbados have benefited from all kinds of sales techniques; they seem to be one of the most popular holidays this year.

Thompson has claimed that Coconut is the best choice and used frequently throughout their shops. This particular smell is that of Sun Cream Lotion, a very clever way to get people thinking about the sun and the sea. First Choice has been using a smell similar to that of an ice cream to appeal more to families. Caribbean sales recently have been doing very well.

However it has not been the Travel Agent who has first come up with this idea to play with our noses to increase sales. Travelodge used smells to keep memories of the place stored in people’s minds. They used the smell of freshly cut grass and apple pies to keep people memorable.

So how does this actually help them to boost sales? Well it is relatively clear; some smells can quickly call on the memory to remind us of times we have had in the past. Although these smells are noticeable it isn’t a conscious realisation that we are remembering this smell from somewhere else. All the aroma will do is make us feel a certain way, sometimes we may remember where it is from but more than likely it will cause an emotional reaction. So try St. Lucia for that relaxing experience, and a relaxing new aroma!
