Exodus Adventure Travels Reports Double Digit
Growth in North America
NEW YORK ,
May 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Exodus Adventure Travels, the
leading adventure travel company with more than 50 years of
experience, released its summer travel trends sharing where, when
and how North Americans are planning their trips.
According to Exodus' reports, active travel including hiking,
biking, culture and wildlife trips are capturing the interest of
North Americans, evidenced by the company's double-digit growth
this year.
The most popular destinations for adventure this summer 2024
include Italy, France and the Mont Blanc region, Portugal, Spain and even Estonia. Top small group guided active tours
for the coming months include Classic Dolomites, Mont Blanc
Highlights, Cycling Croatia's
Dalmatian Coast and Walking the Amalfi Coast. Outside of
Europe, countries including
Vietnam, Costa Rica, Morocco, and Peru lead active travel bookings followed by
Japan and Namibia.
According to the most recent Portrait of American
Travelers® research from MMGY Travel Intelligence, the overall
interest in international travel remains strong. With experience
and award-winning itineraries, Exodus has the resources to provide
travelers with a secure small group travel experience that provides
the convenience, knowledge and security of expert guides.
Small group tours provide incredible benefits to travelers
looking to create special memories and connections with local
cultures. Having an expert guide who knows the ins and outs of each
destination takes the stress and guesswork out of planning an
itinerary, especially during the summer travel season, leaving all
the time to enjoy the destination and the journey.
Research reveals many travelers are willing to spend time and
money to access curated experiences and opportunities to learn from
experts, both of which are integral to the intimate nature of group
tours. In conjunction with the Royal Canadian Geographical Society
(RCGS), Exodus Adventure Travels launched a series of expert-led
tours such as the Classic Kenya
4WD Safari Trip this August to explore Kenya's best safari sites with an expert
safari guide and hosted by award-winning Canadian filmmaker and
World Elephant Day co-founder, Patricia
Sims.
Exodus Adventure Travels also recently received its license to
provide active, cultural and educational trips to Cuba, a destination of interest for North
American travelers. This means US residents can legally visit the
island and know they are directly supporting the Cuban people.
Departures begin in early October
2024.
Additionally, MMGY Travel Intelligence reported that 56% of
travelers are willing to pay more to support environmentally
responsible providers. While a nature-first approach has always
been integral to Exodus Adventure Travels, it most recently
enhanced this with a B-Corp Certification. The company proactively
seeks ways to lower each trip's carbon footprint by serving locally
sourced food, eliminating single-use plastics and using renewable
energy sources, where possible.
In other trends, solo travel remains strong with more than one
out of three Exodus customers joining a trip on their own this
summer and in 2024. Through independent research, Exodus found that
active travel experiences foster a sense of accomplishment and
camaraderie while providing an opportunity to share those
experiences with others.
While the lead time for reserving travel has increased in 2024,
travelers can still find last-minute trips this summer to enjoy the
thrill of small group adventure tours. In fact, Exodus Adventure
Travels is offering a Summer of Adventure promotion with savings of
up to 15% for some of its most popular tours. Details can be found
