Podcast episode 002: Land tours - Domestic Travel Is Hot Right Now

Categories

In this week's episode of The Sansei Traveler Podcast, I share how land tours, guided travel and independent customized trips are more popular now. They are an alternative to cruises, which won't likely sail until October 2020.  Domestic destinations, especially those in certain areas of the United States, are trending with those who want to travel now.

Trafalgar, a UK-based travel company that's been around for more than a century, is offering more US-centric itineraries.  This is especially important as most countries restrict American travelers.  I gave Trafalgar as one example of a land-based tour company, but this is the case with others such as Collette, Globus and Trafalgar's sister companies Insight/Luxury Gold and Contiki.  Like cruises, these land tours will likely have fewer guests.  They will probably not be at full capacity, which are typically at 40 to 50 travelers.

I also spend some time talking about my family's trip to Japan last year, and how I enjoyed the guided group tour being in an unfamiliar country.  While the trip itself was fast-paced, it was still to experience this type of vacation.  Our trip was planned through InsideJapan, which I hope to talk about in a future episode.  I also mention how developing an independent customized tour is a great alternative to these land tours.
