National Park Vacations on the Rise

1253

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.”

Together, Globus Tours, Cosmos Vacations and Monograms offer travelers more than 35 National Park-focused tours and packaged vacations from which to choose an ideal getaway.

Planning Your Next Trip with Atlas Travel Center

At Atlas Travel Center, we’ve spent over 35 years helping travelers turn ideas like the one in this post into fully realized journeys. Whether you’re reading this as inspiration for a trip you’re already planning or as the first seed of a travel dream, our advisors are here to take it from concept to confirmation — handling every detail along the way.

What sets Atlas apart isn’t just our longevity in the business — it’s the depth of expertise we bring to every booking. Our agents are specialists, not generalists. Many have personal experience at the destinations they recommend, onboard the ships they book, and with the tour operators they partner with. When you work with an Atlas advisor, you’re getting counsel grounded in real experience, not just what’s on a website.

Why Work with a Travel Advisor in the Age of Online Booking?

Online booking tools have made it easier than ever to assemble a trip — and also easier than ever to make an expensive mistake. The lowest price on a comparison site often omits a resort fee, books a room category you wouldn’t choose if you saw the photos, or locks you into a cancellation policy that offers no flexibility. Our advisors know the inventory, the fine print, and the suppliers well enough to navigate all of it on your behalf.

More importantly, when something goes wrong — a flight cancels, a ship changes its itinerary, a resort overbooks — a travel advisor is the difference between hours on hold with an 800 number and a quick call to someone who knows exactly who to call. We’ve been solving those problems for clients since 1987, and we’re very good at it.
