(Courtesy of Passover Listings) You’ve got your heart set on a glorious Passover Program in the Bahamas, Florida or Mexico this year. You’ve been dreaming for months about the glistening beach and the gorgeous weather. And you cannot wait to go this year. You deserve it, you worked so hard. And the only thing stopping you from booking this program is the price. How much does it cost? Is it worth it?
You know Passover programs can be costly, and you want to ensure that you’re getting the biggest bang for your buck. So, you decide to visit the Passover program’s website and submit an inquiry to figure out pricing. Simple, right? Not so. Prices are often not posted. And if you’re interested in multiple programs, a simple inquiry can turn into a tedious, time-consuming project. And if that’s not enough, it may take several days for some program operators to get back to you. And what if the price doesn’t fit your budget? Sorry, it means starting your search all over again. I’m sure you would agree that frustrating moments like this, you wish there were a single website to obtain immediate pricing for all Passover programs.
Fortunately, there is. At Passover Listings, a website created a few years back by friends Daniel Kramer and Doni Schwartz, has the answer. Obtaining feedback from a variety of Passover vacationers, they found that vacationers’ main gripe was having to call each program individually. As one vacationer puts it, “it’s hard when the prices aren’t posted, and all you want is a quick, basic answer of what a standard room cost. You can wait days before the program operator gets back to you and you have to do this for each program.”
Technological advancements in the Jewish travel world have been a major focus of Daniel and Doni. Passover Listings was created with one main goal in mind: one-stop shopping that included an extensive list of worldwide Passover programs, replete with services, amenities and real traveler reviews.
And now, Passover Listings is excited to roll out its latest feature, the Pesach Program Pricing Tool. In a nutshell, this tool will allow travelers to key in certain basic information to get immediate pricing details. Here’s a quick rundown of how it works. First, users select the number of rooms they are interested in and the number of people in their party (separated into adults, teens, and children). Then a maximum budget is set. There are other filters that can be toggled as well, such as location and program name to refine results. You are able to submit your room details directly to the Program Owner and instead of doing all the work yourselves, you can now select the button that allows program operators to call you back. This is immensely helpful, you can move on with your day, have the operator reach out to you, all while being fully aware of the initial price. That one piece of information that everyone is so badly trying to figure out is finally available now.
Once figuring out the price and confirming that you still are interested, you can move on to our other forums and social media channels where you can research authentic and real reviews/feedback. Such as the Passover Program Reviews Facebook group, Passover Listings’s Facebook page, Instagram and WhatsApp Groups all created for the sole purpose of helping those who are interested in finding their dream Passover program or who have attended a program in the past and wish to inquire about a program, connect with guests, or to write a review of the overall program, hotel, food, cost, entertainment, ambiance, etc.
Program operators will also benefit from the new tool and are ready to take the leap. Frucher from Leisure Time Tours agrees stating, “Some people have no idea how much a Pesach program costs. They should know in advance what the costs are.” It’s also vital to keep in mind that being transparent about pricing reduces time for both prospective Passover travelers and operators. It can be extremely tedious for an operator to respond with pricing to each traveler that is interested- if only there was a way to reduce the time and energy. With this pricing tool,” it would help to get the most out of advertising by channeling families to the right budgets”, says Lety from Hafikoman. Key it all in and you’ll get what you came for, a listing of programs that match your criteria and your price. You can sort by lowest price up, or highest price down.
So, the next time you hear about a Passover program, or you’re interested in one yourself- visit passoverlistings.com and search the program with our Passover Program Pricing Tool for immediate pricing. It’s the greatest thing since sliced matzah, try it now and thank us later.
