IN 2015, GLOBUS TAKES TRAVELERS FARTHER INTO THE FAR EAST
LITTLETON, Colorado – August 13, 2014 – A journey to Asia is both a trip back in time and a glimpse into the future. From offering Local Favorite experiences to VIP access into Asia’s must-see sights, Globus invites travelers to go on an adventure and experience some of the world’s best cuisine, colorful cultures and intriguing history on its 2015 tours to China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
“Thanks to our Local Favorites program Globus invites travelers to step out of the ordinary and into extraordinary experiences. For instance, travelers can sample Japanese cuisine and learn how to recreate the dishes at home during a cooking class in Kyoto. They can watch Vietnamese fisherman bring in their daily catch on the Thu Bon River and learn how to cast the net on their very own. They can zip through Beijing’s ancient alleyways or hutongs on a traditional rickshaw and visit the home of a local family for tea,” said Scott Nisbet, president and chief executive officer for the Globus family of brands. “In 2015, we’re providing our travelers unique inclusions that add to already enlightening tours. Experiences they couldn’t find or book on their own.”
Making the touring experience even more special for travelers, most of Globus’ Asia vacations are part of the company’s Small Group Discovery (SG) series: A program that allows for no more than 20 travelers on a tour, giving them a smaller group ratio and the chance for more personalized service and authentic experiences.
“Touring is just another way to say perfectly planned,” said Nisbet. “And, we think a minute saved is a minute earned. That’s why Globus has spent more than eight decades creating and finely tuning our tours to strike the perfect balance between included planned activities – including VIP access (no waiting in lines) – to must-see destinations and leisure time for travelers to explore on their own.”
For those travelers interested in a packaged vacation, without the group, Globus’ sister brand, Monograms, is providing independent travelers more than 100 itinerary variations to help them explore and experience the best of Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, Laos, Dubai and India, including a NEW 4-day Hong Kong itinerary with the option to explore colorful Macau. Ninety-five percent (95%) of all included sightseeing with Monograms in Asia features a private guide making each excursion truly memorable.
Avalon Waterways also invites travelers to experience the destinations, cultures and stories found along Asia’s Yangtze, Mekong and Irrawaddy rivers. In 2015, the award-winning river cruise company is unveiling two, 36-passenger Suite Ships® – the Avalon Myanmar and Avalon Siem Reap – in Asia.
EARLY BOOKING INCENTIVE: To further entice travelers to experience all these Far East locales have to offer, Globus is offering them an up $600 savings (per couple) on 2015 air-inclusive Asia vacations. For details, click here.
