MONTREAL, Oct. 22, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Transat, Canada's leader in leisure travel, is launching its largest family campaign yet: The Family Time Promo, which invites Canadians to dive into a sea of unforgettable moments with a South vacation. Lasting until November 17, the national multiplatform campaign includes Web, social media, radio, display and print advertising.
"This campaign reflects our desire to speak directly to families, who mainly book beach getaways to enjoy some quality time together," says Geneviève LeBrun, Vice-President of Marketing at Transat. "The campaign presents various images and a surprising video about an offbeat invention designed to remind us of the importance and irreplaceable nature of time spent with the ones we love."
On its website, the tour operator has an all-new section entirely devoted to families, at transat.com/family. It has useful information such as offers and promotions under way, hotel profiles, recommendations based on interests and suggestions for excursions.
Also, six social media content creators and their families recently flew to Mexico, Dominican Republic and Jamaica to vacation at five Transat Family Collection hotels. The resorts, which cater to families big and small, have features like kids' clubs with extended hours, free meals and stays for kids as well as free WiFi. Jasmin Shannon, Eve Mayrand, Trisha Enriquez, Daneta Budalich, and Carolane and Josiane Stratis have since posted pictures and Stories on Instagram sharing precious moments from their stays.
Air Transat's family advantages
Air Transat makes travel easier for families, with advantages such as direct flights, attentive staff, exclusive check-in counters and priority boarding for families with young children. The Kids Club welcomes mini-globetrotters aged 2 to 11 for free and gives them a membership kit filled with customizable travel goodies. And everyone is invited to keep an eye out for one of the planes adorned with the Kids Club smile and googlie eyes.
With Air Transat, families automatically get free standard seat selection. This way, children 12 and under and their parents (or guardians) sit together on board. The airline also offers a kids' meal.
