Austin-Lehman Adventures (ALA) says the demand for private, multi-generational trips is at an all-time high.
“We have experienced a 33% increase in private family trips, double over previous years. Interest is running at an all-time high,” says Dan Austin, ALA’s Director. He says that for 2008 ALA already has several trips in the research and planning stages and several confirmed group bookings.
ALA is repositioning itself as the “go-to” company for planning and setting up private, custom, multi-generational vacations in the Americas, and coming in 2008, southern Africa, he adds.
ALA has designated Carol Austin, a 10-year veteran in vacation sales and trip consulting as senior administrator of private group sales. She will oversee the planning, booking and coordinating of all group trips.
“We have the expert guides, permits, support personnel, equipment, and more importantly, the insider’s knowledge and contacts to develop extraordinary, personalized itineraries from Alaska to the Peruvian Amazon, and now, in southern Africa,” she said.
On a multi-generational private adventure, guests control the selection, duration and difficulty levels of activities, how much and how to best spend down time, special treats and even surprises.
ALA’s most popular multi-generational destinations to date have been Yellowstone Park, the Canadian Rockies, Costa Rica and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
