LITTLETON, Colo., Jan. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for 2016 vacation planning, Monograms – an international travel company and part of the Globus family of brands – has unveiled results from a NEW Traveling Better study spotlighting travelers' views about the good ways (and not-so-good ways) to travel the world. This nine-question survey of 1,168 world travelers examines what they value most when vacationing in a foreign destination.

Conversely, traveling – according to survey respondents – can be greatly enhanced by the following experiences in order of importance:
Further, a vast majority of travelers (85%) are willing to pay for more fun and less stress on vacation. In fact, fifty-two percent (52%) said they would be willing to invest more than $500 to encounter fewer hassles and frustrations while traveling the world.
"Traveling the world can be an amazing – and even better – an exciting and memorable experience! It should be," said Steve Born, vice president of marketing for the Globus family of brands. "You just have to know how to do it right."
In a place where everything is foreign, Monograms is providing travelers the "better" solutions they're looking for. As part of its all-in-one vacation packages, Monograms offers travelers:
And, while a large majority of travelers from the Traveling Better study saw Monograms' all-in-one offerings such as front-of-line access and the on-call services of a local expert as perks, Monograms considers them to be point-of-entry.
"We assume all travelers want to enjoy their vacation and increase their happiness before during and after their trip," said Born. "Our goal is to make every Monograms trip a happy vacation. It's a lofty ideal but an important objective because vacations – and traveling the world – should be enjoyable."
