Audley Travel Expands Bespoke Tours to New Global Destinations
Advisor Program Now Features India, Tanzania, Japan, UK, and Southwest France
Audley Travel is broadening its horizons, announcing an exciting expansion of its advisor program to include custom-crafted journeys to India, Tanzania, Japan, the United Kingdom, and southwest France.
Exotic Wildlife and Cultural Immersion
For intrepid travelers, India now offers unparalleled wildlife encounters. Audley’s bespoke trips feature stays in Ladakh’s Leh region, including the exclusive six-room Drenmo Lodge in Nubra Valley. This unique lodge provides a rare opportunity to witness the elusive Himalayan Brown Bear.
In Tanzania, the focus shifts to the Great Rift Valley. Adventures include observing the vibrant pink flamingoes, exploring the Ngorongoro volcanoes and crater, and engaging with Maasai Warriors to learn about local traditions and customs.
Cultural Depths in Asia and Europe
Japan’s appeal is amplified with the addition of Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture. Praised by Audley’s Japan specialists as an excellent alternative to Takayama for experiencing “traditional Japan,” its strategic location and superb rail links make it a perfect complement to existing itineraries.
France sees new bespoke offerings in the Basque country, Pyrenees, and French Catalonia. These regions invite exploration through activities like kayaking, hiking, and cycling along the Mediterranean coast, with sample itineraries catering to diverse interests such as gastronomy and historical chateaux.
Luxury Rail Journeys in the UK
The United Kingdom’s allure is enhanced with a new pairing opportunity: a rail journey through Cornwall combined with a trip to southwest England. This can be experienced aboard the Belmond Britannic Explorer, the nation’s inaugural luxury sleeper train, offering an intimate travel experience for just 36 guests.
The custom tour operator specializes in creating tailor-made itineraries, reflecting a growing trend in personalized travel. In 2023, the luxury travel market was valued at over $130 billion globally, indicating a strong demand for unique and high-quality experiences. (Global News Wire)
