Before I sign off for the evening I thought I would post today's Monday Musing for you to mull over...

Hopefully, for those of you who are on our mailing list, the new Just You brochure will have landed on your doormat. Now, it includes a few new tours (such as the 14-day tour of Thailand, taking in Chaing Mai, Bangkok and Cha am, there is the walking tour in the Swiss Alps and a journey though Florida & the Old South), but as you know, we launch the vast majority of our new holidays in September. As we are looking to put together some fantastic itineraries together for September, we thought we'd ask the question... where in the world would you most like to visit that is currently not covered by the the Just You programme.

Now I can pretty much guess a few destinations that will be mentioned given conversations that have been had here on the community in the past (and what's been discussed around the office at the moment), but why not share your thoughts below and we'll share the thread with all of our holiday creators.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts,

kindest regards,

Julia

A great question and much appreciated!  I know JY currently have their widest range of holidays on offer to date, so I presume there is limited scope as to what could be offered either this year or over the next couple of years.  Anyhow, if I could ask for any tours to be added to the very wide portfolio, they would include:

Ethiopia including the Simien Mountains, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar), Romania and Bulgaria (as a combined tour if possible) and Morocco (a proper tour including the middle and high Atlas and the Sahara).  There are probably more, but that's what springs to mind at present.

Concerning your current range of tours, there are lots of new and recent tours that I'd really like to do over the next few years (and ones that I didn't get the chance to do), so please think about running them in the years ahead!  Just because they didn't sell out first time around, doesn't mean they won't again, given a few tweaks and a bit of a rest!  The tours I'd love to do over the next few years include:

An Adventure thro' Central America, Mongolia (but not during July/August - can't go then!), Roof of the World plus Hong Kong, Canadian Rockies, The Great Eastern USA, Alaska, Australia and New Zealand (plus Cook Islands), Peru (Travelsphere), the Azores, Alpine Europe, Malta and more!

I know it is a tough economic climate these days, but please try to keep prices down; they have crept up so much over the last year or so and I am going to have to cut back as a result - I'm sure I'm not the only one - so I do hope that the tours can be kept at a reasonable price without forsaking quality!

Cheers,

Bob

Madagascar

Indonesia

Taiwan

Uganda to see the gorillas

Tim

The trip I would like to see JY offer is the Travelsphere Germany holiday, Harz Mountains and Berlin by Rail, which includes Colditz and Leipzig.

Rob

I am thinking of Madagascar, Ethiopia, Tanzania. I would love to visit Bhutan starting the tour in Darjeeling similar to the Saga trip which I have looked at.

In Europe I would like to see either Northern Germany perhaps including the Harz mountains or Bavaria and the Romantic Road-Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the fairy tale castles etc. and Poland with the salt mines included.

I don't know why I am saying this because I can't afford to do all the JY trips that I have already got my heart set on as it is.

Kind Regards

Di

I am considering going with Travelsphere to Bucherest and wonder if that is a tour that is also likely to be available from JY?  Thank you

Darjeeling or any hill station in India where you have to travel by the mountain railways. 

Dyuti

Also, already mentioned above the TS Harz mountains tour.  

Would also help on some tours to have add ons available - eg Shimla on the standard India trip.  

Always interested to see new US tours.  The new one to S Carolina, Georgia and Florida works for me, a maybe for next year, depending on what else I do. 

And skiing tours - there really is a market for these for solo travellers, but nobly seems to be properly covering it.

I second all the place the others have suggested. However one place I would love to visit is Bolivia.

What I would also add to my wish list is a couple of double destination holidays, maybe through Europe or around 10-14 days....

I agree with some other forum users it seems strange we can book a single place on a Travelspere tour at significantly less cost to a comparable JY tour

I've  just returned from Albi and Carcassone, to find the new brochure on my door mat. I agree with  other contributors, the price increases for some long haul tours are pretty steep.  As Bob so eloquently put it, us travellers have limited budgets, so some hard choices will have to be made.

a cruise programme would be nice, both Mediterranean and further afield

I have just received the Travelsphere Brochure and there is a Grand Polish Explorer which I really like the look of.  It is apparently new for this year and has flights from Liverpool which would really suit me.  Is there any chance of JY offering this next year?

Good Morning Jonah,

We are currently working on our 2018 itinerary so I really cant say at the moment.
