Proposal Trips Are The New Best Thing
So you’ve fallen in love. You have found your perfect match and cannot live another moment without having them in your daily life. What are you to do? Well the team at Romantic Planet Vacations would say, “Just plan a proposal trip of course!”
Why the knee-jerk reaction? “Proposing marriage is a natural transition for love-struck couples.” Says Laurie Keith, the founder and President of Romantic Planet Vacations, a niche travel agency in Canada that specializes in destination weddings, honeymoons, anniversary and proposal trips. “It was the very best thing that ever happened personally to my life,” claims Keith.
Keith opened Romantic Planet Vacations in 2004 before proposal trips and destination weddings were even a thing. She had been an agency owner previously offering work, volunteer and study abroad opportunities to college students while she was attending University. After she sold her agency and worked in ‘the real world’ for a little while, she was drawn back to the travel industry. “I love love. I always have.” says Keith, who then decided to fill a travel void by offering packages for wedding groups, customized wedding proposal trips, once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon experiences and anniversary trips that will ensure the love continues to burn bright – essentially any travel that has to do with love.
And exactly what is a proposal trip? It is a vacation with the secretly added special prearrangement of a personalized excursion or event with the help of someone in the destination that includes an awe-inspiring view and moment in time when a wedding proposal can be presented to an unsuspecting loved one, followed by celebratory inclusions like champagne, chocolates and congratulations. Who can say no with all of this right?
In fifteen years, Romantic Planet Vacations has planned over 100 specialized wedding proposal trips, and they proudly say all proposees have said yes! Besides, would you say no when you’re taken by helicopter to land at the top of a volcano and greeted with champagne and chocolates…and a ring! What about while strolling along the beach hand-in-hand with your loved one only to find an engagement ring in a sea-shell? Or who’d say no while you’re hurling down a tandem zip-line in Costa Rica? Private sunset catamaran cruise proposal anyone? Or when you get to the top of the Machu Picchu hike to turn around and see the love of your life down on one knee? These are example of proposal trips that Romantic Planet Vacations have planned before. Keith adds, “We want to incorporate the travel moments that take your breath away, but still allow for one word to be spoken, and that is “yes!”
