Globus family of brands has launched a new travel style it says is dedicated to offering travellers “I-opening” adventures of the world and a “new, you way” to experience its wonders. The Independence by Globus program enables clients to travel “untethered and unscheduled,” but with expert help and without the group.
“Guests can look forward to enjoying travelling better in destinations across the globe, on their own, with hand-picked hotel accommodations, hand-selected optional excursions and the services of local experts to uncover the perfect ways to spend their days on vacation,” says Stéphanie Bishop, managing director for the Globus family of brands.
Moreover, guests can enjoy the many benefits of touring but without the group, she adds.
Highlights of the program include:
• Globus takes care of the details for guests with included accommodations, daily breakfasts, select guided sightseeing and transportation between cities. The tour operator can also handle flight arrangements and airport transfers.
• ‘Independent City Stays’ features some of the world’s most spectacular cities across Europe, South America, and Asia, while ‘Independent Tours’ offers travellers a larger swath of featured destinations and countries around the globe.
• Global Local Hosts offer helpful hints and recommendations to travellers to help make the most of free time. They also have access to the brand’s GlobusGO app, which is packed with insider tips that invite them to explore their destination like a local.
• Hand-selected optional excursions can enhance clients’ getaways as well as seamless extensions and destination add-ons.
A sampling of new Independence by Globus itineraries includes Independent Rome, Florence & Venice; East Africa Private Safari; Independent Costa Rica Wonders; Naturally New Zealand; and Independent India: The Golden Triangle.
“For those who love Globus but want to venture further, enjoying the world their way, without the group, Independence by Globus gives travellers the ‘I’ time they crave on vacation,” said Bishop.
