Top recommendations and USA hot spots

From cost-to-coast, The Travel Corporation has more reasons to sell the USA than ever before! Why the USA? Duwayne Moore from The Travel Corporation Canada tells you by answers the questions on everyone’s mind,

1. Are there any emerging US destinations that agents should keep on their radars?

Coming off its 300th birthday in 2018, New Orleans is an excellent destination to travel to all year long. Young clients can join in on the fun during Contiki’s 13-day ‘Boot Scoot N Blues’ journey.

Another emerging destination is South Dakota; Costsaver’s 13-day ‘Spectacular Canyons and National Parks’ trip takes clients on a journey to Badlands National Park and Mount Rushmore to capture the true essence of one of the most beautiful southwestern destinations.

2. You’re celebrating 20 years at TTC this year. How have you seen the company’s USA product evolve?

The past 20 years at The Travel Corporation Canada and in the travel industry have gone by very fast and I am very grateful for the opportunity to continue to grow and learn every day. Over the years, the USA experiences from TTC’s family of brands have evolved and grown tremendously.

In more recent years, clients are looking for culturally immersive experiences and are further seeking opportunities to protect the environments and communities they are visiting. As such, they’ve been working closely with their not-for-profit, the TreadRight Foundation, to grow sustainability efforts globally.

3. Why should Canadian families choose the United States as their next family vacation getaway?

The US offers so many amazing kid-friendly attractions and educational activities. When clients travel with one of TTC’s family of brands, they are guaranteed carefully crafted travel where they can truly immerse themselves in the country’s rich history and cultural diversity.

The US offers incredibly easy, direct air routes from Canada, making year-long travel very accessible, especially to year-long destinations like California and Florida.

4. What are some top-selling itineraries that you would recommend this year?

For those looking for an in-depth experience, Trafalgar’s 2019 ‘USA and Canada’ program has launched two incredible trips: an eight-day ‘Cape Cod Delights’ exploring New England’s coastline, and the nine-day ‘Five Epic National Parks’ that highlights the natural splendour of the Old West.

Also, Luxury Gold offers two incredible itineraries for 2019: the 10-day ‘New England’s Magnificent Autumn’ that highlights New England’s autumn landscapes, and the eight-day ‘America’s Captivating Pacific Northwest’ featuring the region’s sweeping coastlines.

Another top-selling destination is Hawaii, which clients can explore on Luxury Gold’s 12-day ‘Luxurious Hawaiian Escape’.

5. What’s new for TTC in the USA?

New for 2019, Busabout has launched a 2019 ‘USA & Canada’ program. This is Busabout’s newest destination and the first time the brand has expanded its Hop-on Hop-off network outside of Europe.

Busabout’s West Coast Hop-on Hop-off Pass’ gives access to eight destinations, including San Francisco and Las Vegas, while the ‘Adventures’ travel style offers 11 itineraries including the 22-day ‘West to East Road Trip’.

Plus, the USA team will be opening a beautiful new office space in Cypress. The building renovations will be completed this spring and more details to come!
