TORONTO — For the first time ever, Globus and Cosmos are offering ‘Undiscovered’ tours in North America, in addition to Italy, Great Britain and the Mediterranean, all of which are on sale now with a special air credit.
Travellers who book a 2021 ‘Undiscovered’ tour with either brand between Sept. 8 and Nov. 9, 2020 will receive a $150 per person air credit, for travel from Jan. 1, 2021 through Aug. 31, 2021.
In addition, those who book a 2021 Globus tour now will save 10% off select itineraries, plus save $300 per couple on Europe air-inclusive tours on select airlines.
‘Undiscovered’ tours, says Stéphanie Bishop, managing director for the Globus family of brands, are innovative, off-the-beaten-path vacations to less-travelled destinations.
“With our 2021 offerings and book-early sale, travel advisors have the best opportunity of the year to encourage their clients to plan their next vacation, all while exceeding expectations and providing the on-trip safety standards they expect,” she says. “Our ‘Undiscovered,’ off-the-beaten-path vacations, 2021 Peace of Mind Travel Plan and On-Trip Assurances invite travellers to plan an extraordinary journey – with touring’s best offer – in unordinary times. Plus, thousands of travellers are holding onto a “Welcome Back Credit” – a credit we hope advisors will encourage clients to use by reminding them they hold vacation funds in their hands.”
Travellers can expect to visit the following destinations and attractions while on ‘Undiscovered’ tours:
