Royal engagement starts a new travel trend
Prince William's fairytale proposal to Kate Middleton in Kenya is making a royal impact on travel trends this year, with more and more couples taking holidays to make their marriage proposals.
Yes, you heard the term here first: the 'engagement-cation' is set to take the travel industry by storm. It's becoming so popular that American Express predicts that it is already one of the top five travel trends for 2011.
Among the first operators to offer a specially tailored engagement package is Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida. It comes complete with a 'proposal planner' who will on hand to give advice and organise your big moment. You will be treated like royalty as you celebrate your love.
Possible ideas for never-to-be-forgotten moments include proposing on the beach on Key West Lagoon, where sand sculptures resembling you and your loved one holding the real engagement ring can be created. Or perhaps you'd prefer to have 'Will you marry me?' message illuminated on the sails of the SS Gaylord.... Whatever you fancy, your wish is their command. Just like a real fairytale...
