Relaxed re-entry rules and more than 2k departures and across June and July to kick off summer travel
With the recent CDC decision to drop upon-return testing, G Adventures is anticipating a boost in interest in summer travel – and as luck would have it, the small group adventure travel company has just released its trip departure list for July, and the number of trips available to book increases to 1,300 trips in more than 50 countries. This represents the highest number of trips operating since the onset of the pandemic and heralds a welcome return to tourism for local communities in the countries visited.
In July, Laos also returns, which means the reopening of G Adventures’ popular ‘Indochina loop’ experiences in Asia, taking travelers to Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam in one trip.
And with 20 percent off trips departing before July 31, 2022 (when booked by July 5, 2022) there is plenty of savings available for agents to pass on to travelers who are still looking to book their summer escape. For those looking to depart further out, a 15 percent discount is available on trips scheduled for an August or September 2022 departure.
Ben Perlo, managing director for G Adventures in the US and Latin America, says the community tourism pioneer and small group adventure operator is thrilled to be offering such a wide range of trips this summer, especially now that the return to US testing has been eliminated, removing a barrier that had previously made some US citizens hesitant to book that long-awaited trip.
“It’s exciting to be able to encourage people to get back out in the world in ways that give back to local people. We’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time, and are excited to be able to offer some really great savings for summer travel, too.
“With more than 2,300 departures available across June and July, there are plenty of options for people to book across our portfolio of countries and travel styles,” says Perlo.
Example trips available to travel on this July, with 20 per cent savings, include:
