Rennies BCD Travel has announced an innovative solution, designed to make dream holidays more accessible to the leisure travel market.
The Vacay Layaway programme has been designed to allow travellers to save towards their desired trips, rather than pay using a credit card.
A release from the company says that in today’s economy, travel has become unattainable for most South Africans and statistics show that more than a third of South Africa’s 27 million credit holders cannot repay their debt.
"We understand that planning a dream getaway can often be a financial challenge," says Reece Oakes, CEO of Rennies Travel Experiences. "With Vacay Layaway, we're empowering our clients to take control of their travel aspirations by creating a dedicated travel stash."
The programme works like this: A Rennies BCD consultant helps the traveller select the trip of their dreams and from that point they can buy a Vacay Layaway voucher to open an account and then save their money and top it up at their leisure.
Says Oakes: "We're excited to help our clients turn their travel dreams into reality."
