Voyages Jules Verne has also introduced two new brochure features to assist clients in making their 2011 travel choices. Alongside helpful details such as maximum group size and whether exclusive events or room/flight upgrades are available on a particular itinerary, World of Wonders now includes details of the walking content involved in each tour. Graded from 1 (relaxed walking) to 4 (strenuous - for seasoned walkers), the ratings are based on an overall assessment of the tour in question. To help further inform its clients’ decisions, Voyages Jules Verne has also clearly noted in its itinerary descriptions where, on occasion, overland journey times exceed three hours (with comfort breaks) – for example, in the case of India itineraries, where travel at ground level is an intrinsic part of the experience. Prospective travellers can also check Voyages Jules Verne’s award-winning website, www.vjv.com, for useful reviews by former clients, and visit VJVLounge – a Review and Members’ Area that enables clients to rate, review and read genuine customer reviews, upload photos and videos, create groups, and make friends whilst working their way through membership levels.
