Beyond Times Square is Now American Stories Travel: A New Name, A New Chapter

From City Streets to National Stories: A New Name That Reflects Our Expanded Vision for Tailor-Made, Story-Driven Luxury Travel Across America

 

Written By: Carole A. Peck, Content Manager at American Stories Travel

 

For three decades, we’ve been crafting extraordinary travel experiences—seamlessly blending luxury, personalization, and authenticity. Today, we are proud to announce an exciting new chapter in our story: Beyond Times Square is now American Stories Travel.

 

This rebranding is more than just a name change—it’s an evolution that reflects our growth, our expanded vision, and our unwavering commitment to creating immersive travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary.

 

We know you may have questions. This post is your complete guide to understanding what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and why this transformation marks a significant milestone for our company, our partners, and, most importantly, our travelers.

 

Why the Change? The Story Behind Our Rebrand

Every great journey has defining moments—turning points that set the course for something even greater. For us, this is one of those moments.

 

Beyond Times Square began with a focus on luxury travel in New York City. Over time, we expanded beyond our original scope, offering tailor-made, high-touch travel experiences in Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia, Charleston, Savannah, and beyond. As our reach grew, we realized that our name no longer told the full story of who we are and what we do.

 

American Stories Travel embodies the very essence of our mission – to create immersive, story-driven journeys that bring destinations to life in a way that is deeply personal and profoundly memorable.

We chose the name American Stories Travel because it reflects the two intertwined narratives we create with every journey – the stories of our destinations and the personal American stories that travelers experience with us. Every itinerary we craft introduces travelers to the rich history, culture, and spirit of a place, while also allowing them to create their own unforgettable chapters along the way.

 

While our name is changing, our core values, dedication to excellence, and luxury service remain unchanged—only now, our brand reflects the depth and breadth of our offerings.

 

What’s Staying the Same?

We may have a new name, but our commitment to delivering seamless, luxury travel experiences remains as strong as ever.

Here’s what won’t change:

• A Dedicated Partner for Travel Advisors – We continue to be a trusted partner for travel advisors, offering collaboration, expert guidance, and commissionable luxury travel experiences.
• Tailor-Made, Private Travel Experiences – Every journey is designed to align with your clients’ passions, ensuring a truly personalized experience.
• Your “Experience Insurance” – We take care of every detail, from touchdown to takeoff, ensuring a flawless, stress-free experience.
• Insider Access & Expertise – We provide travelers with exclusive, behind-the-scenes experiences and once-in-life-time events in the most sought-after destinations.
• High-Touch, Seamless Service – Our dedicated team ensures every aspect of your client’s journey runs smoothly, so they can simply enjoy the adventure.

 

If you’ve worked with us before, you already know the level of service we provide. And if you’re new to American Stories Travel, welcome—we can’t wait to create unforgettable travel experiences with you.
