It’s always nice to have great ideas, but they can turn out to be quite discouraging, especially if your love life is depending on it!

Bruno is planning an unforgettable week-end for Marie’s fortieth birthday. Marie, currently seeing the world through rose tinted glasses, thought that the idea was wonderful and unexpected. Everything was now depending on him, and since Marie was looking forward to an amazing surprise, Bruno was determined to find the best vacation spot possible without leaving anything to chance…

The destination? Venice of course. What could be a more romantic setting the canals of Saint-Marc’s Square to celebrate both their love and the special surprise birthday weekend.

He therefore devoted his whole week-end preceding their departure, plus Monday, which he had taken off from work, in order to read all of the 1.589 testimonies from 25 different websites expressing other peoples opinions concerning the 10 hotels he had found, one by one. Bruno thought this would be the perfect way to find his dream weekend hotel, relying on “real testimonies”. Yes, but…

On Monday night, Bruno was still having second thoughts about his choice. He was even starting to regret having given his credit card number to a hotel that had so many diverging critics.

And then there was also the matter of whom to trust?
The employee of the hotel who would never tell you that the gym is in the basement? Some kind people who could have given a good testimony out of politeness (would they do that)? The other clients whose taste wouldn’t necessarily be the same as his? And what about the other websites that never publish customers’ opinions but only show pictures (especially pictures of the Royal Suite)??

On affinitours.com, he could have chosen his hotel quickly and easily, without being under pressure since the referenced lodgings are already sorted out! The best hotels have already been selected, rated and approved by the whole community, that is what the affinitours network is all about.

Just by visiting one single website, Bruno could have found all the information he was looking for, without having to read dozens of useless web content and go through all the unbearable advertising. On affinitours, everything is crystal clear, easy to find leaving you happy and serene with your
choices.

Without having wasted a whole week-end and taken one day off from work, Bruno could have slept peacefully, dreaming of his special week-end birthday present, and how perfect it was going to be in so many ways.

C.E.O Affinitours

Getting together 80 members of family and friends from the four quarters of the globe certainly takes super strong organizational skills to celebrate such a big day!

The only problem is their apartment – a tiny 2 roomed bijoux space in the center of Paris, already put aside for Mother in Law (and only her). She certainly wont be sharing the sofa bed with Father in Law. Then there is Sandrine’s brother – a trader in New York. He doesnt have the time to look for a hotel because he is just to ‘busy’! Then there’s Sophie, the best friend with her dog the St Bernard, the cousins, the friends, the boyfriends and girlfriends of friends…. to cut a long story short, Sandrine is in a mess! Two days before the wedding, nobody is really sure of where they are staying…

At D-1, rather than dedicating herself to a full body massage and beauty treatment, Sandrine is ready to tear her hair out. She spent her whole day on the phone searching for hotel rooms – and all the better deals were already taken.

Between the friends who confirmed but declined at the last minute, the friends who didnt confirm but finally our coming and those who booked rooms 30 miles from Paris to get better prices… Sandrine will be drinking effervescent asprin instead of champagne bubbles soon!

Withouth Affinitours, you are guaranteed the discount offers...

She could have organised everything from her sofa, in a few clicks, and get super preferential pricing on rooms for all her family and friends, in a couple of nice hotels, a few minutes away from the Church.

Now you know : For all stress free family reunions, organising full accommodations that’s good value for money, the solution is with Affinitours.

Speaking of which, he really would like to do something with this list. Make the most of this network of people to go out, meet people, do cool things… but nope, impossible to use this list of contacts making it seem pretty useless at the end of the day.

With affinitours, we like to say that having a nice long list is great but if theres no use for it well… it’s useless…

At affinitours, David is lucky enough to be able to organise whatever he wants, no drawbacks, and feeling good about it  all the time. He has built himself a real group of friends on who he can really count on to go out and have fun. And what’s really good, is that David’s group of friends is unique, each contact is considered an individual with good ideas and plans to share.

Thats the spirit of affinitours, a useful and practical social network joining you together through your affinities!!!

With Affinitours, Claire was able to live her dream ; she got sky high view over the basic offers available, felt surrounded by friends in the middle of a circle of like minded people with whom she could finally share her passion for freedom.

How to resist the beautiful harmony of mermaids singing of a paradisical destination, a beautiful 8 mile beach, with palm trees, all under the hot sun in a blue sky?

Who is really hiding behind this tempting line up of places to go? Is it a trap? Or not…    After spending hours surfing on the internet looking for THE great deal of the century, and finding it, who is there to tell you that there isnt some other shark hiding behind the scenes just waiting to trap you with his sharp teeth while preparing your vacation with lots of nasty surprises on its way

John and Mary, mouse in hand, tempted by the “exceptional” discount as shown in the advert, came back decomposed from their first night spent under the gables in the latest addition to the “beatiful beach front hotel” the only room left on offer because the hotel was overbooked with all the sales promotional advertising…

And then there was Sylvie, who found herself with no airport transfer and got stuck at the airport. Jon and his “dinner treat which left him with very painful memories considering its price!

Forget liquidations, destocking, and the express-sales-last-minute-great-prices-that-go-on-forever.

Breath in, relax… the best offers are waiting for you. Take your time to feel the affinity in your dreams and you will see that Affinitours has more than one trip in its bag… just for you.

There is no way that Céline and William want to relive the last package deal where everything was planned ahead, but it all turned as sour as vinegar!

Everyone was fine with organising the ‘group package’, but because each person had their own ideas, everything started going horribly wrong right from the first day! The so called ‘group’, who supposedly shared the same passion for mountain climbing started to melt just like the snow under the sun – and since then the friendly relations have become very … tense. The walk through the mountain paths was decididly… icy.

And with adventures planned so passionately, each person’s experience will be as enriching as the next – and thats the spirit of Affinitours.

And as for the conditions of the places to stay at, the Affinitours members will always get the best deals.
The rule? Whether its a party in the chalet, or a night in the refuge, no seasonal prices will be slipping around because we have a tight rope on it all!
Solidarity!

Thank YOU internet!

Except that when you click the last button ‘confirm’ out come all the other hidden costs. all kind of costs added one by one : the person who took the order, the person who looks after the ‘vouchers’, the person who took the reservation for the hotel, the person who looks after the website, the person who found the destination, the person we don’t even know about and so the list goes on.

So for direct net pricing, all that is not very… net… and the price we thought so cheap is actually getting higher and higher with all these intermediate & expensive costs adding up (but apparently they are inevitable!)

Their plan? Affinitours

Affinitours changes habits… Friends and members of Affinitours get really great net group pricing negociated for them directly.

With this much transparency, the prices are so clear, that you can almost see through them!

So under the sun, they have a whole new view of pricing rather than the usual total block…

Finally, after some tentative swings, and hundreds of golf balls lost in the neighbouring woods, everyone decides to go back to the hotel to practise their swings around the bar.
Steven finds himself alone in the middle of the golf course. No exciting playoffs for him – what a wasted weekend!

On arrival, catastrophy … all Jane T’s safari companions are over 60 years old! Peter and Mary always complaining because they dont like the sun or the dust… Martin and Samantha, always first to climb into the bus to take ‘their seats’. In the evening, its time for the dance party, but not too late, and not too loud, with music from the sixties that Jane T doesn’t even recognise…

Finally,  instead of Jane T’s safari turning out to be a wild adventure in the savanne, the only thing being taken for a ride is her bank account…
