ESCORTED TOURS TAILORING TOURS DESTINATIONS


Amazon regularly tacked on to longer tours. Explore has recently created a Uruguay extension that can be added to any Argentina tour, while InsideAsia Tours has a range of new add-ons designed to fit its small-group touring programme. These provide contrasts to the tours, such as the Mountains and Monkeys add-on that introduces tradition and time in nature, a welcome accompaniment to the HyperJapan J-Pop & Go itinerary, which predominantly explores modern Japanese culture. Some clients will want to


follow a busy touring itinerary with a beach extension, and this is easily done in many locations, from three nights in a bay overlooked by Mount Etna after Travelsphere’s Secret Sicily tour, to four nights on Ngwe Saung’s beautiful beaches, at the end of Just You’s Burma & The Road to


Mandalay trip. Great Rail Journeys finds its Goa extension fits well with many of its Indian itineraries.


w BACK TO BACK Gluttons for discovery may want to combine more than one itinerary into a kind of super-tour. Kuoni has a new range of


combinable group tours in Latin America, Asia and Africa, so clients can construct their own journey. Twin-tour combinations are the most popular, but in Indochina it’s even possible for customers to build a 40-day adventure travelling through five southeast Asian countries. Collette finds that back-to- back bookings happen most regularly on its tours in New England, while Great Rail Journeys reports that Australia and New Zealand tours are frequently booked in tandem, so clients can make the most of the long flights.
