TTC Tour Brands has announced a new itinerary from Insight Vacations for 2024 plus new MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences, focused on culinary and active adventures across Canada and the United States.
With the new additions, TTC Tour Brands; Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Costsaver and Luxury Gold are featuring more local focused experiences and now have at least one MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience across 100% of North American itineraries.
“We’re thrilled to be able to provide more experiences for our guests that work to protect the planet, its people and wildlife. Our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences dive deeper into a destination and its community through first-hand interactions with Indigenous peoples, workshops on repairing local ecosystems and tours that support local businesses; all of which ensure travellers return home with a new perspective,” says Melissa DaSilva, President of TTC Tour Brands, North America.
“With these new experiences, advisors can demonstrate to their clients the ways in which TTC Tour Brands is constantly updating their itineraries to meet guests’ needs and interests.”
