Booking early is the key to your next vacation.  As soon as you know travel dates, it’s ready to begin planning.  Most of the time, it’s best to book early, securing the best seats, prices, and availability for tours, guides and hotels. Also, many popular destinations are making it more advantageous to book ahead to secure access to popular landmarks. If you want to explore these destinations in the coming year, don’t delay. Book your tailor-made trip today and ensure you get to explore some of the world’s most popular destinations in 2025.

1. Kenya

Many travelers dream of heading on safari during the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra that pass through Masai Mara National Reserve. However, it’s a hot ticket item, one that you don’t want to delay in booking. The boutique lodges in the Masai Mara fill up well in advance of the season, so if you are hoping to cross the Great Migration off your bucket list in 2025, book early to secure your spots.

2. Japan

The sakura (cherry blossom) season in Japan is likely the most popular event in all of Asia, so it’s hard to secure any slots. It might be too late for other travelers, but you can still secure space with on your private journey or group space, which has guaranteed departure dates. Japan is busy throughout the spring, so if you want to stay in a traditional ryokan or enjoy the service of a dedicated tour guide, book early.

3. Peru

Peru’s high season is its dry winter during the North American summer, when the low precipitation levels make it ideal to hike the Inca Trail and tour Machu Picchu and other Incan ruins. However, Peru is putting increased limits on the number of daily permits available on the Inca Trail. If your clients want to hike the trail while visiting Machu Picchu, even if for only a day, make sure to book ahead. Travelers need a guide on the Inca Trail, so you don’t want to delay and miss out on your guide and permit.

4. France

Booking ahead in popular destinations across Europe, such as France is always a good idea. However, new regulations across France have impacted how travelers can visit specific attractions. For instance, the Eiffel Tower only releases tickets 60 days in advance in order to manage the high demand for tickets, which makes it essential to book ahead and to book through a trusted travel partner like Donna Salerno Travel. We have access to tickets through our partners and can snatch up tickets the moment they’re available.

5. Australia

It’s good to book early to secure affordable airfares to Australia, as seat sales make a big difference in the end cost of an Australian vacation. However, if you want to visit popular landmarks such as the Great Barrier Reef, you need to book early to avoid last-minute air connection fees when flying into Cairns, the gateway city to the reef. Furthermore, it’s important to lock in tours of the reef, especially for eco-conscious tours. The sooner they can book, the better for rates and availability.
