Globus Travel
Globus Travel began 90 years ago with a boat ride across Lake Lugano, Switzerland, and has grown to 480 different vacation packages in 77 countries. With Globus, travellers can visit iconic Machu Picchu in Peru with a side trip to the Galapagos Islands. “We’ll help you knock off two bucket-list items on one trip,” says Chris Jones, Director of Marketing for the Globus family of brands. Along with popular destinations like Italy, Britain, and France, Globus gives travellers the opportunity to explore destinations less travelled and experience local cultures on their Undiscovered Tours. “What makes these tours unique is we bring travellers to secluded ports and towns that other tours don’t,” explains Jones. New this year is our Undiscovered Mediterranean tour, during which guests can stay in stylish hotels set in historical towns or tiny whitewashed villages. Globus now offers an 11-day tour of Croatia, from Zagreb to Dubrovnik. “It’s a beautiful part of the world,” says Jones. “And with Game of Thrones, people are flocking to Dubrovnik.” The research, planning, and language barrier of organizing a vacation can add stress before you even leave. “Simply put, a Globus tour is a perfectly planned vacation package,” explains Jones. “Globus’s fully escorted tours, VIP access to must-see sites and hand-picked hotels are why they are one of Stewart Travel Group’s preferred partners,” says Frances Gertsch, Trusted Travel Advisor and Marketing Manager with Stewart Travel Group. “We aim to make the vacation carefree, but we also care for the people and places we visit,” says Jones. Sustainability is important to how Globus operates,
and the company partners with The Ocean Cleanup to remove and reduce plastics in our oceans; Globus also offers trips to children through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Jones says that Globus also partners with Landmine Design, a social enterprise that provides jobs for women in Cambodia. “We want to make sure the destinations we visit are fruitful for future generations,” he explains.
