Do you remember when you got more bang for your buck? Shrinkflation may be a thing in many areas of your life, but not with small group adventure specialists Explore Worldwide. They’re giving more – not less – to your clients with 18 new tours across four continents in the new Upgraded collection.
Alongside all the key ingredients of a typical Explore holiday – the small groups, expert tour leaders, and unforgettable experiences with a light footprint – with Explore’s new Upgraded collection, your clients will enjoy an expanded and elevated vacay with stays that offer a little extra comfort.
Michael Edwards, Explore MD, said, “We’re really excited to be launching our new Upgraded collection. We have some really wonderful trips and very special properties to introduce in this range, which we’ve been working on for some time and are super proud of.
“We created this collection of premium accommodation tours to retain the authenticity of our standard Explore trips, but with a little more comfort to return to at the end of a long day’s adventures.
“Upgraded trips are still very immersive and experiential, and we’ve worked hard to bring them in at a very competitive price point. They’re ideal for the traveller that would like extra comfort, or something a bit special.”
Authentic stays in the heart of the action
Across destinations like Turkey, Italy, Jordan, Vietnam, and Botswana, the new range has been carefully selected using Explore’s usual thoughtful standards and protocols.
Where possible, guests stay in locally-owned, locally-run hotels for a more authentic experience that keeps tourism money within the local economy. The location is always prioritised, so groups stay in the heart of the action.
Accommodation on these new tours is typically 4-star, rather than 3-star properties, offering greater comfort and facilities.
Upgraded tour standouts
In addition to extra comfortable stays, Explore’s new tours also feature a special meal – usually on day 2 or 3 of the trip – to welcome your clients to their destination and help them bond with their fellow travellers.
There’s also at least one stand-out experience or activity in each tour that truly brings the trip to life or heightens the overall experience of the destination.
