CONTIKI UNVEILS NEW AMERICAS PROGRAM
Following an online launch earlier this year for 2014 South America trips, Contiki Holidays has introduced its newly released 2014-2015 Americas brochure, which now includes both North and South America itineraries. Filled with Backstage Pass inclusions and Me Time optionals, the brochure also features two new itineraries throughout North America – 22-day The Big West throughout the west coast of USA & Canada and eight-day The Powder Rush, hitting the slopes of BC and Alberta. To kick off the program, Contiki is offering an early payment discount of 10% off for clients who book and pay for their 2014-15 North or South America trips by Aug. 29. “While Canadians often think that travelling through North America is something they can do on their own, they’re missing out on all of the incredible Backstage Pass inclusions that they get with Contiki, not to mention the new friends they’ll meet from around the world on their trip,”says Brad Ford, president of Contiki Canada. “We take the stress out of planning and can offer a bunch of optional adventure activities with top vendors at a discounted rate, as clients find themselves whitewater rafting in Jasper and biking the rim of the Grand Canyon,”As the newest addition to Contiki’s adventure travel collection, The Big West is an epic 22-day journey through three American states and two Canadian provinces. Starting in L.A. and ending in Vancouver, Contiki travellers spend nights in San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Whistler, Kamloops, Banff and Calgary, as they make their way up from California to British Columbia. Adventure is the name of the game on The Big West as Contiki treats travellers to a catamaran cruise at sunset in San Francisco, a gondola ride to see epic the landscapes of Banff and a thrilling ride on the “Ice Explorer”over the Athabasca Glacier. Contiki also includes 10 dinners and guests will find themselves savouring a Mexican feast in San Diego and living it up on a dinner cruise around Vancouver harbour. (http://www.contiki.com)
