Goway Travel, one of North America’s leading travel companies, has embraced social media as a way to communicate offers and information, and to ensure that the information is relevant to the audience.

Using polls on Facebook, Goway is able to find out what destinations or travel experiences Globetrotters are most interested in. A recent poll conducted established what travellers seek most in a vacation. With 40% of the votes, fans were most interested in discovering and experiencing new cultures; 36% want to visit places that are exotic and less travelled to; 15% want to relax on a beach and leave all their stresses behind, and 8% love new thrilling adventures and not knowing what is in store.

In terms of destinations, the votes were pretty even, but Asia placed first with 19% of the votes, while Australia and New Zealand were tied close second with 18% of the votes. South Pacific Islands received 15% of the votes, Africa 13%, Europe 10% and Latin America 6%.

With Asia being one of the most popular destinations, Goway Travel offers great value vacations to Bali; including 7 or 12 nights at The Patra Bali Resorts & Villas, priced from $329.00CAD per person twin share which includes accommodation, daily breakfast, tours, and more.

The highlights of Cambodia Showcase offers 5 days from $799CAD, and includes 4 nights accommodation, daily breakfast and 3 dinners, full tours by English speaking guides, internal air, all airport transfers

Goway Travel is always conducting surveys similar to these to build vacations that will suit their Globetrotters.
