ADVENTURE TRAVEL COMPANY
from:Planning your adventure vacation on your own can be a daunting task. There are so many different things to take into consideration, like transportation, accommodation, food, sightseeing schedules, activities, and so on. By using an adventure travel company, you can spare yourself a lot of time and frustration. You can also save quite a lot of money. By booking charters and group tours, and through its contacts in the world wide tourist industry, an adventure travel company can have access to discounts you would never be able to get as an individual traveler. Also, because the adventure travel company gets feedback about various tours from previous clients, and has an ear on the travel industry “grapevine”, it has up to date information on what’s great and what’s not so great. The adventure travel company representative will have all that data in mind when you book your trip, and will advise you accordingly. That representative wants you to have the best vacation possible, so you’ll be back next year.
The adventure travel company has something for everyone. Do you want to go windsurfing in the Dominican Republic? Or snorkeling at Australia’s Great Barrier Reef? Or mountain climbing in British Columbia? The adventure travel company can arrange the trip for you.
Or maybe you just want a special weekend trip to a ski resort in New Hampshire, a fishing lodge in Northern Ontario, or a wildlife sanctuary in the Florida Everglades. Your adventure travel company can take care of that as well. Even day trips to interesting places just an easy bus or train ride from your own town are possible.
Some adventure travel companies specialize in certain types of activities; for example, wildlife tours and cross-country hiking adventures. Others limit their tours to certain parts of the world, such as Southeast Asia or Western Europe. Many companies send clients just about anywhere in the world to participate in almost every sport or activity under the sun (or water).
There are adventure travel companies whose clientele tend to be those people who can afford the most exotic and expensive of tours. There are also those companies that try to package excellent tours to fit every budget. Some companies will arrange tours for private groups, or will have tours especially for women or families. The company representative will tell you anything you need to know about the place you will be visiting.
The biggest decision you’ll have to make is choosing the travel company you want to go with. There are directories that list them. Pick out a few that look like they have what you want, and contact them. Compare their services and prices. Then call one and leave all the work up to the representative.
