With independent touring on the rise, and retirees challenging any preconceived ideas about adventure travel, Bill Peach Journeys is delighted to announce the introduction of an exciting new range of independent touring options to meet the needs of the discerning traveller. Bill Peach Journeys Managing Director Jan Musgrave says “Increasingly, we have found that the our guests are seeking more varied, more independent and more specialist itineraries, and we’re delighted to offer that.”
Bill Peach Journeys boasts an unmatched pedigree of luxury and style, combined with the adventurous spirit of its original founding explorer. Now, for over 30 years, Bill Peach Journeys has been taking clients around the world on small group journeys and is proud to boast one of the highest repeat guest rates in the industry. Bespoke Journeys have been designed for those travellers who are looking for exceptional experiences with boutique modes of transport and who prefer to travel privately rather than with a group. They are also perfect for those travellers who have not been able to fit scheduled journeys into their travel plans. Musgrave sayts “We are finding that our travellers are seeking maximum flexibility and choice, without compromising on comfort, and a seamless experience where everything is taken care of. We are proudly able to offer this fabulous combination to exotic locations like India, the Mekong, and the Amazon.”.
For many years Bill Peach Journeys has been creating private itineraries for clients and are now excited to release a dedicated brochure which captures the best of these journeys. Research from Tourism NSW support this with its comment “Baby Boomers are rebels, the first ‘me’ generation and dislike rules and expect personalised, tailored options from their travel experience. Baby Boomers are more likely to want to choose their own way, seek high standards and are less willing to compromise. They are also more affluent, fitter and more active, seeking higher standards of accommodation, healthier and more varied food options and more experiential travel opportunities than the more accepting Traditionalists.”
Musgrave says “These journeys are an extension of what we do so well and we are really excited to extend our reach in 2013 into India, Asia, South America, and further afield. We are delighted to again work with the highest quality operators like River Cloud, Rovos Rail and Orient Express. We launched this programme in 2012, and it was hugely successful. We are again delighted to offer our guests seamless travel experiences throughout the world.”.
