Leading youth travel operator Contiki (www.contiki.com.au) has every reason to celebrate this Independence Day, having witnessed significant growth for its USA & Canada portfolio within just weeks of the 2012-2014 brochure launch. Following on from a sell-out year for 2011-2012, the much-anticipated programme now offers agents an even greater selection of options to help fulfil ever-growing client requests for the region including, for the first time ever, a choice of two different six-day packages to legendary music festival, Coachella, in 2013.
The original since ’62, Contiki has reinforced its position as the frontrunner in youth travel to the USA & Canada, demonstrated by the volume of departures that sold-out early on for 2011-2012. Addressing such high demand, the brand has increased capacity and is thrilled to offer a range of new and exciting experiences for the coming seasons comprising quick getaways, long trips, city tours, ski & snowboard and festivals, all making sure that no matter what their preference, your client can always be guaranteed choice.
Recognising the ongoing insatiable desire for young Australians to travel to the USA & Canada, Contiki now boasts more than 20 exciting tours across North America – from the Grand Canyon to Graceland, New Orleans to New York – whether the USA is your clients’ choice or Canada is calling, Contiki has got it covered.
Commenting on the fruitful USA & Canada launch, Fiona Hunt, Managing Director, Contiki Australia said: “We know that both the USA and Canada remain major travel hot spots for 18 to 35s and testament to the fact is the soaraway success of Contiki’s programme in the region in recent years. Now entering our third decade of taking young travellers to North America, we’re constantly innovating and delivering new ways to discover the area and that’s why we are especially happy to announce our relationship with Coachella for 2013, which forms part of our global initiative to showcase festivals.
We were really pleased with the results for USA & Canada last year and with the ongoing valuable support of our trade partners, we hope to make the coming year even better, as we also continue to celebrate Contiki’s 50th birthday.”
Legendary for a reason, Contiki keeps its finger firmly on the pulse of global trends and responds quickly to demands from its valued clients by continually improving on its product offerings. With an impressive array of tours ranging from 3 to 26 days across the USA & Canada, there’s always going to be time to take a Contiki trip!
