28.04.2006: Individual travelling with DyM!
1. Individual travelling with DyM!
2. 5 more winners of the survey 2006
The survey we presented our customers with a short while ago gave us
useful suggestions, which I will deal with during the next time. My
topic today: our travel offers.
First of all, I was quite surprised by the fact that many of you did
not know that we also organise journeys. And then I was surprised how
many of you hadn't really had a close look at the contents and
concepts of our travel offers.
To begin with: We are aware of the fact that the majority of you are
individualists. We are it, too. I am glad that many of you strive to
deal with life in a very sensible way, in a society in which people tend to
live unconciously, and that you do not simply consume what others
throw at you.
Our travel offers are directed at people who deal with life in a
conscious way. They are individually designed to present you (and we
mean: You!) with the cultures of our travel destinations without
asking too much of you. How can that be possible? It is quite simple,
you either like our small travel packages on our websites, you book
one of the packages as it is and you will see that you can enjoy
optimal active holidays. Or we advise you individually. That means
that we try to find out what could be optimal regarding your very
personal expectations. Knowing your wishes, we then design your
personal travel package.
The money: In the beginning our journeys seem to cost more than other
journeys on the market. But you will find out that this is not true
considering the counter-value. It's quite the contrary: you receive
more for your money.
If you are thinking even more individually, you will say: I always
travel on my own account - I will surely get to know Cuba, Argentina
or Italy without DyM and spend nice holidays there. You might be
right. On the other hand I am sure about one thing: If you want to
experience everything that the travel programme designed for you
contains in for example Cuba, you would have to travel to Cuba maybe
three or four times on your own account.
A few days ago, one of our guests, who had spent three weeks in Cuba
and who had received detailed advice on the phone by us, sent us a
mail. Our guest allowed us to cite him here:
“Dear Mr. Möbius,
I would like to report about my journey to Cuba shortly - I spent
three wonderful weeks there, and I met as many people as during the
rest of my life.
First of all, I would like to laud the private accommodation. My hosts
reveived me very friendly, they prepared an excellent breakfast and
the rooms were kept very clean. I enjoyed the noise level at the Plaza de la
Fraternidad, Cuban life simply vibrates there and it couldn't affect my
deep sleep. It was a pleasure to study Spanish with my teacher in the
Capitolio library. She had already been in Germany and she was
interested in topics we are also dealing with, things that sometimes
are still unknown in Cuba, so we talked about the annoying word VIP, about
Mrs. Merkel, the growing commercial frenzy and many more topics - it was
simply lots of fun.
I was extremely lucky with my dance partner, she always danced with
pleasure and heart and she was very patient with me. I hope, that Cuba
will always conserve this piece of identity, naturalness and
straightforwardness and that hopefully Cuba will be untroubled by some
developments we experience in Germany.
I organised my round trip during the third week on my own after our telephone
conversation. I always found wonderful spots in
Vignales, Cienfuegos and Trinidad. It worked perfectly to get a hired
car and to travel with it.
I would like to thank you for your help and I hope that the Cuban
culture, its dances, music and virtuous musicians will stay reserved
for those people who really appreciate them, and that the culture does
not succumb to mass consumption.” (translation)
This statement does not show an isolated case. Our page of feedbacks
presents a selection of the reactions to travelling with DyM:
Travel Feedback
Unfortunately, we are also limited to words when explaining our
concepts. A lot of organisers offer "individual travelling". Keywords
turn out to be sales arguments. But we do try to fill terms like
"individual travelling" with a content when offering our journeys.
We don't use catchwords on our websites in order to sell. We mean what
we say. And you will know what was meant when returning from the
journey...
If you still don't know where our travel offers are hiding: Have a
look at our start page and you will find the term "Travels" on the left
navigation frame. (Just click on it and your journey will begin... :-)
