Tauck tours showing double-digit growth

Tauck’s says its pre-season bookings for next year are up in almost every region of North America, showing double-digit growth.
Trips in the south, mid-Atlantic, and New England are all up sharply, as are Tauck Bridges’ family trips in Alaska and Hawaii. Tauck’s shorter itineraries are showing especially robust growth, with trips of eight days and less currently 53% ahead of last year at this time.
Tauck’s itineraries in the American West continue to be among their most popular and fastest growing. Besides the obvious appeal of the Parks themselves, Tauck President/CEO Robin Tauck credits the popularity to the expertise of Tauck’s tour directors and the company’s ability to offer in-the-Park accommodations. He said:
“The National Parks are incredible, but they’re also a bit daunting; Yellowstone alone covers over 3,000 square miles in three states. Our tour directors average over 10 years with Tauck, and they help our guests to really understand the Parks, and get the most from their visit.”
One of Tauck’s most popular itineraries to the National Parks is their 8-day “America’s Canyonlands” trip (from $2,160), which includes overnight stays in Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks.
Other popular North American itineraries of eight-days or less include “Charleston & Savannah” (from $2,180), “Best of the Canadian Rockies” (from $2,390), and “Canadian Rockies & Glacier National Park” (from $2,795).
For 2007, Tauck says it will be highlighting North America’s top destinations with 32 itineraries across the continent, from Alaska to the Old South, and from Quebec City to San Diego.
Each journey is detailed in Tauck’s new “USA & Canada” brochure, which is currently arriving at travel agent offices, and in the homes of past and prospective Tauck travelers.
