More than 20 new Active and Classic adventures, from Europe to Asia to Central America and beyond
As we head into 2023 global adventure operator, G Adventures, has been busy at work designing a host of new adventures for the new year, with a focus on stepping off the beaten path and uncovering hidden gems, getting active in some of the world’s most breathtaking locales and rediscovering “that feeling” that only travel can offer.’
With so much more of the world accessible since 2020, G Adventures is betting that 2023 is going to be big for adventure travel. From heart-pumping challenges like taking on Morocco’s Mount Toubkal and trekking around Iceland’s lesser-hiked southern coastline to sampling authentic mole in Mexico’s gastronomic heartland and experiencing the mystical mountains of Bhutan, these new adventures span G Adventures’ Classic and Active travel styles and range from four to 12 days. The scope of new trips is diverse, but they all share G Adventures’ commitment to local immersion and to building meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships with communities.
“We’ve been waiting for this moment,” said Ben Perlo, managing director for G Adventures in the US and Latin America. “Opening borders mean that we can get back to doing what we do best: designing trips that offer authentic local experiences to travelers while benefiting the places we visit.”
“We are seeing a huge influx of new-to-G Adventures travelers, thanks to the diversity of trip styles, depth of inventory and range of destinations we visit. Over the past six months, we’ve seen a major increase in Americans booking South America, making up over 20% of our total US sales. We’ve also seen an uptick in active travel, as more people are wanting to use their vacation time to accomplish a goal and push themselves physically. It’s clear that people are ready to hit the road again,” said Perlo.
