DRMumbai: Trafalgar offers travellers the opportunity to discover the true essence of a destination, connect with locals, and have unforgettable experiences along the way. With over 350 worldwide trips to all seven continents, and 74 years of expertise, Trafalgar’s commitment remains the same – ensuring every traveller returns home having enjoyed a hassle-free holiday.
Leave your world behind and lose yourself on a journey of discovery
In keeping with Trafalgar’s commitment to connecting guests to places, people and experiences, each trip in the brand’s 2020 suite includes at least one of Trafalgar’s famous ‘Be My Guest experiences’, one of the first local immersion experiences in the travel industry. With a core mission that seeks to support local individuals and businesses, particularly those off the beaten track, where Trafalgar guests enjoy deeply meaningful encounters. From dining with a count at his 16th century Italian villa, exploring the beautiful French home of one of the widows of JFK and Bobby Kennedy’s former advisors, breaking bread with villagers in the mountains of Turkey or having dinner with champion fighter Muhammad Ali’s brother as he regales guests with tales from their childhood, these experiences allow guests to connect with locals in ways typically not possible. Always at the centre of Trafalgar’s mission is travelling responsibly, with ‘Make A Difference’ experiences available on many itineraries that let guests directly give back to the communities they visit. JoinTrafalgar has also reforested 359 acres of trees to date with longstanding partner, One Tree Planted, as a result of guests choosing to travel paper-free with their e-document solution and since 2018, single-use plastic bottles have been removed from all coaches throughout Europe.
“What makes Trafalgar simply the best way to travel is the passionate team we have that strives to deliver a dream holiday for everyone of our guests. We know that travel planning can be stressful, and instead of worrying about the logistics of accommodation, transportation and or waiting in line to visit museums and other places of interests, why not have a holiday that allows you to be completely carefree to enjoy your journey of discovery,” said Sanjay Temkar, the brand’s Director of Sales for India.
“We are thrilled to unlock more of the world in 2020, with new trips reflecting our guests’ growing demand to explore new destinations like Armenia, Georgia, Montenegro and Namibia. We also have new ‘Explorer’ itineraries where we visit vibrant and trending cities and regions like New York, San Francisco, Sicily, Barcelona and the French Riviera,” added Temkar.
Trafalgar’s popular in-depth ‘City Explorer’ series covering gateway cities like Rome, Madrid and Barcelona, Cape Town, New York and San Francisco, are a great option for travellers seeking to combine business trips with leisure.
