G Adventures Operates 250th Trip Since Travel Comeback Began

G Adventures is this week celebrating its 250th trip commencing since the world began reopening, with departures ramping up in more new countries each month. 165 trips are scheduled to operate in July alone, with more than 200 departures scheduled for August; a sure sign that international travel is making a comeback around the world.

On July 11th, 2021, 11 G Adventures travellers set off from Cairo on the 250th tour to enjoy a 12-day Egypt Upgraded trip travelling from Cairo return. This month, Ecuador, Jordan, Portugal, South Africa and Spain joined Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Egypt, Greece, Iceland, Mexico, Montenegro, Morocco, Tanzania, Turkey and the U.S. as countries now open and available for G Adventures travellers to visit.

To encourage more travellers to book their comeback tour and get back out in the world when they can, G Adventures is extending its current sale and offering up to 25 per cent off more than 100 itineraries across seven travel styles, for trips booked by July 31, 2021 and departing before 31 October 2021.

All trips booked benefit from G Adventures' newly updated 'Book with Confidence' policy, which enables travellers to cancel and rebook their trip up to 14 days before departure. They will also all operate with G Adventures' 'Travel with Confidence' policy in place, ensuring the most up-to-date health and safety measures are implemented on-tour to protect travellers, team members and people in local communities.

David Green, vice president commercial and managing director for Canada at G Adventures, says bookings for Canadians are picking up dramatically for tours departing in September and October, and he hopes the current incentive encourages more travellers to book their bucket list trips and demonstrate their commitment to the travel industry, and the communities it serves.

"We're so close to bringing international travel back for Canadians, and we welcome the relaxation of the hotel quarantine for vaccinated travellers. As vaccination rates increase the next step is for the government to officially reopen the borders, which we hope happens very soon.

"Our 250th trip proves that safe international travel is possible, and we can't wait to welcome even more Canadians onto our trips as soon as we can this year. The local communities we visit are delighted to have our travellers back, and we are excited to get back to doing what we do best - changing people's lives through travel.

"While it's safe to say that the majority of the travellers on those 250 departures have not been Canadians, we want our valued agency partners to know we are up and running - there is no slow ramp up to operations. Operationally, we are back and we are ready to welcome their travellers on our tours. We're seeing incredible month-on-month sales and enquiry growth and we also want to thank all our agents for their support and patience as we handle this surge in demand," says Green.
