WELCOME to the art of travelling in style It is unbelievable how much our world has changed in a short time. We have all been forever imprinted with memories of sheltering away from our friends and family, taking extraordinary measures to stay healthy and longing to return to the things we love—like travel. Being part of a family-run company that’s been in business for over 100 years and is proudly debt free, means you can travel with the reassurance that we have put numerous new measures in place to elevate our hygiene standards and protocols. Smaller groups and more personal space on our coaches allow you to travel as part of a sociable group and still maintain your social distance. The well-being of our guests and team has always been, and always will be, our top priority. In 2021 we are excited to announce trips to Latin America for the first time. From Peru to Patagonia and Argentina to the Atacama Desert, you’ll be able to delve into the ancient archaeology and rich cultural and natural heritage that this region is famed for. You can also witness the vibrant fall foliage of New England, and dine out on traditional fresh lobster Maine style in a waterfront restaurant in Bar Harbor. We continue to support local businesses and communities during these exceptional times and no matter where you go, you’ll enjoy seamless stress-free travel as we share our passion for travel with you.

TRADITION MEETS HOLLYWOOD IN MONUMENT VALLEY Explore with your Navajo guide One of the most majestic destinations on earth, Monument Valley dazzles with its striking landscapes, colourful sunsets and tribal culture. Delve into its history with an expert.

LARRY H. /ARIZONA NAVAJO GUIDE

oin me in Monument Valley for an introduction into Navajo culture and history. Learn how sacred this land is to my people, and more about the large, sandstone rock formations that make up the area. I will show you Monument Valley’s secrets, as you take in the tribal park’s landscapes during a ride onboard our all-terrain vehicles. I myself, have been guiding travellers across the land and sharing Navajo stories with them for over 20 years. Meet members of my tribe and learn more about our daily lives. We’ll talk to you about how we maintain our traditions in a modern society, and I’ll introduce you to weavers who will show you the methods we use to make our traditional rugs and other products. Discover more about our traditional dress and the stories behind it. This includes the “tsiiyéél” or hair bun, which, to us, represents the identity of each tribe member and can even reflect their way of life and who they are as a person. Turquoise, or “Doo tl’ izh ii” is also significant in my culture. It is supposed to bring good fortune and protect our people from evil. Historically it was used to protect warriors in battle. Today, we still treasure the gemstone for its beauty and good luck. It is a typical gift to exchange among my people and you will see it incorporated in the jewellery we sell. And of course, how could I forget the influence the area has had on the Western movie scene? John Ford shot nine movies here, among them “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” and “Stagecoach” in 1938. Learn more about how the location has inspired the Golden Age of Hollywood and more about the movie stars that stayed here, including John Wayne.

HEATHER A. /USA & CANADA INSIGHT VACATIONS TRAVEL DIRECTOR

y calling has always been to work with people. So, after leaving my career in the airline industry, it felt right to continue working in travel. I’ve been with Insight Vacations, where I lead trips across the USA and Canada, for over seven years. My role as a Travel Director allows me to connect with likeminded individuals, from all over the world. I show them new destinations and help them make memorable experiences that last a lifetime. For a lot of guests, they’re on a trip that they’ve been dreaming about for a long time, so to help bring this dream to life is very special.

My favourite time of year to travel is October. I love to see guests fall in love with nature on our fall foliage holidays, in New England and Eastern Canada. At this time, these destinations are lit up by colourful orange and red hues. The pretty fishing town of Bar Harbor is particularly beautiful. I urge everyone to try its delicious, fresh seafood, and in summer, to take a walk along the shoreline at sunset.

Ottawa. He has a great way of getting everyone to interact, as they learn to prepare traditional Canadian cuisine with him, before trying it out for themselves. I think guided vacations are a great way to make new friends. They appeal to people who want to travel and truly live in the moment, without having to question logistics. We take care of everything for them, so they simply get to sit back, enjoy themselves and their surroundings.

Not only is it important for guests to connect with each other, but to connect with the locals they meet along the way. This includes a chef at a cooking school in INSIGHT VACATIONS | AMERICAS

MAKE TRAVEL MATTER We believe travel can, and must, be a force for good As a founding member of the TreadRight Foundation, a joint initiative of The Travel Corporation (TTC) family of brands, we focus on those realms where travel has the greatest potential for impact Planet, People, and Wildlife.

INTRODUCING OUR TREADRIGHT AMBASSADORS CÉLINE COUSTEAU / PLANET AMBASSADOR Environmentalist • Explorer • Filmmaker

Céline travels the world helping to communicate the stories that connect humans and the environment. “Every journey we take deepens our appreciation and respect for this planet we all call home. The Americas offer some of the most awe-inspiring sights on earth, which I have been fortunate to see while navigating the Amazon, the coastal water of Chile all the way to Antarctica, and tracking the gray whale migration from Mexico to Alaska. We must make our travels sustainable – so our planet can keep sustaining us.”

THE TREADRIGHT FOUNDATION A portion of the money spent on your Insight Vacation goes directly to support the work of the TreadRight Foundation. Learn about the 55 amazing projects you’ll be supporting around the world and more about the work of Céline, Sarain, and Ami. TreadRight.org

Discover our planet on our England’s Fall Foliage trip. See page 46 for details.

SARAIN FOX / PEOPLE AMBASSADOR Activist • Dancer • Storyteller

Sarain amplifies the voices of her Indigenous community through preservation of culture and stories. “When we make authentic connections with local people our travel becomes infinitely richer. My First Nation Anishinaabe heritage serves as the lens through which I view the world, seeking to build a bridge to the people whose lands I am grateful to visit and whose stories I am privileged to tell. Throughout The Americas, you will find rich cultures to discover and support – and fascinating people to meet.” Meet fascinating people on our Argentina, Uruguay & Brazil Discovery trip. See page 62 for details.

AMI VITALE / WILDLIFE AMBASSADOR Photographer • Filmmaker • Writer

An award-winning National Geographic photographer, Ami has captured images in over 100 countries. “Nature is sending us all a strong message now. We need to start recognising that we are not separate from nature. When we see ourselves as part of the landscape and part of nature, then saving nature is really about saving ourselves. Travelling across the Americas, you will witness powerful stories that remind us of just how small and deeply interconnected our world is. I hope we all take advantage of this time to reimagine our relationship to nature and each other.” Observe stunning wildlife on our Jewels of Alaska trip. See page 26 for details. 10

A FAMILY LEGACY IN TRAVEL In 1920, Evelyn and Solomon Tollman laid the foundation for what would become TTC by opening a small hotel in Paternoster, 150 km up the Atlantic coast from Cape Town, South Africa. It was in that hotel that the family’s passion for service developed. Solomon Tollman treated every guest as though they were his only guest, welcoming each with the warmth and hospitality he had not found in his own travels. Working day and night, he built that hotel into a thriving business. In the process, he defined the family legacy: Driven by Service. Founder of TTC Solomon Tollman with his wife Evelyn

While much has changed over the past 100 years, this passionate focus has remained exactly the same, and is precisely the attitude that defines each brand within The Travel Corporation today. INSIGHT VACATIONS | AMERICAS

MEMORIES OF A LIFETIME Exploring the Best of Eastern Canada and the USA If you’re wondering what it’s really like travelling with Insight Vacations, how better to find out than from recent guests? DENISE AND BARRY G /SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA INSIGHT GUESTS

arry and I travelled to Canada to visit our son and his family who live in Vancouver. We’d never been to Canada before, and to make the most of our trip, we decided to extend it with an Insight Vacation’s holiday “The Best of Eastern Canada and USA”. We’d travelled to Europe before with Insight and loved every trip. The Insight trip took us to some of the most unique places in Eastern Canada and the USA that we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. Timed perfectly we happened to be at the right place at the right time to see the changing of the guard in Ottawa with their beautiful red jackets. When we started in Toronto, we went to Niagara Falls and that was so interesting. We went to two sides of the falls and on the boat that takes you into the falls. We also visited Little Niagara which was just so quaint and picturesque - I tell everyone I know to go there. Our favourite place was Washington DC, there’s so much to see and do! You see a lot on television about the political side of the town in the White House, but we just loved the city and we could’ve stayed for so much longer. The Smithsonian Museum was unbelievable, and we chose to do the illumination tour and dinner where we could see all of the city magnificently lit up. We also loved Montreal, Philadelphia, Boston and New York. In New York, we did a cruise on the Hudson river, looking

back at the skyline of the city, it was so modern in contrast to the historic French architecture in Eastern Canada. In New York we also had the pleasure of eating in someone’s home which was such a great way to experience life like a local.

In New York we also had the pleasure of eating in someone’s home which was such a great way to experience life like a local. With our Travel Director at the helm, we found the whole experience seamless. When it rains, umbrellas magically appear. When you’re feeling a little peckish, they’ve organised some tasty local treats to try. If it’s a special occasion they know just how to make it special. When we travel with Insight, it is our holiday, one that we want to sit back and enjoy. We didn’t have to drive on the other side of the road, so we had no stress of following maps or trying to find parking, we could sit back and relax. My husband loves the extra leg room in the coach, it makes all the difference.
