Considered “America’s best idea,” National Parks around the world provide travelers preserved views of natural wonder as far as the eye can see.   An American invention, they give us a unique backyard vacation oasis where postcard views meet real, life-altering experiences.  And, it’s this transparent beauty, exploration and enrichment combined with the accessibility of North American National Parks that make them a popular vacation choice.

According to the National Park Service, trips to National Parks are on the rise.  “National Parks are idyllic vacation ‘hot spots’ perfect for relaxation and introspection, wild life exploration or adventure, depending on the traveler,” said Scott Nisbet, president and CEO for the Globus family of brands.

A wide range of experiences can be had at National Parks including everything from snorkeling, rafting and hiking to learning about the environment, geology and wild life.  They also provide a perfect retreat for those hoping to reconnect with themselves or nature. 

“Our National Park-focused tours offer an inclusive-style of travel with incomparable exploration and enrichment opportunities,” said Nisbet.  “With a wide range of National Park destinations, hotels and price points, coupled with unparalleled service and storytelling, we create experiences for travelers they couldn’t produce on their own.”
