Extends Oberammergau Sale

Wednesday, January 06, 2010

Oberammergau sales have gone well for Collette, but in an effort to sell our remaining tickets, Collette Vacations extended its Oberammergau booking offer through 2/28/10. 

Travelers can save up to $400 per couple on new bookings.

The Passion Play is held every ten years in the picturesque village and is a major religious and cultural event for the region. Collette Vacations’ President and CEO, Dan Sullivan, Jr., reports that many dates have sold out but that space is still available on several guaranteed departure dates.

Every 10 years, European inbound tourism sees a huge boost from the staging of the Passion Play in Oberammergau. Oberammergau is located in the Bavarian Alps close to the border with Austria, about 60 miles southwest of Munich. Normally the entire season is sold out far in advance. Nearby European destinations like Austria and Switzerland will welcome close to a million North Americans in a typical year. Collette offers 8 European vacation packages featuring the Passion Play in Oberammergau; including tours highlighting the Austrian cities of Inssbruck, Salzburg and Vienna as well as the Swiss resort destinations of Zermatt, Lucerne and St. Moritz.
