Both Collette Vacations and Tauck Tours have added product lines geared specifically towards the active Baby Boomers; Collette with Explorations and Tauck with Culturious.
Both products are for smaller groups, from 16 -24 travelers. They offer more immersive experiences geared for travelers ranging in age from their mid-40’s to their mid-60s, for a slightly higher price than their traditional product.
For example, travelers on the Culturious itinerary in Tuscany and Cinque Terre, Italy visit an art restoration specialist in Florence, cycle along the medieval walls of Lucca, hike between the coastal villages of Cinque Terre, and travel through the Vasari Corridor, an art-lined, private passageway above Florence’s streets that was built in the 1500s for the Medicis.
Explorations will introduce Provence, France, in the Colors of Provence trip which includes activities such as a cooking demonstration, wine and cheese tasting and visiting an olive oil factory.
An Australia and New Zealand combination tour and a tour that explores the Mayan Ruins in Topal, Copan and Antigua in Guatemala are also new for 2010.
Culturious, along with the Tuscany itinerary also offers Manitoba and Peru with South Africa and Nambia, Provence and Costa Rica being added in 2010.
Globus Monograms also appeals to independent travelers.
