Globus launches Aust/NZ
GLOBUS and Cosmos have this morning, for the first time ever, released Australian and New Zealand tours created specifically for local travellers.
Available to book effective immediately, with departures from Feb 2021, the portfolio is kicking off with nine itineraries in Australia and four in NZ, with further expansion to be announced in the near future.
“We’re delighted to launch a new collection of Australian and New Zealand tours and bring more than 92 years of experience closer to home,” said Globus Family of Brands MD Australasia Gai Tyrrell.
“We asked Aussies what they would love to see from an escorted tour closer to home, and worked closely with local travel operators and tourism boards across both countries to curate itineraries we knew they’d love.”
The new tours promise to showcase the very best both countries have to offer, including landmarks and lesser-known areas, and also feature more than 40 active inclusions such as Lake Taupo kayaking in NZ or swimming in a natural hot spring in WA’s Kimberley region.
Experiences on offer include digging your own spa pool on Hot Water Beach in NZ, sleeping in a luxury eco tent on Rottnest Island, meeting a local sheep farmer in Tasmania and sampling the product at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery.
“As state borders start to reopen around the country and Aussies start planning their next domestic holiday, there are lots of great reasons to consider an escorted tour,” Tyrrell said - including being able to relax, enjoy the beautiful scenery “and enjoy a second glass of wine at lunch without worry!”
Discounts are on offer for bookings made by 31 Jan 2021, and all guests receive complimentary SafetyNet protection which allows them to cancel without penalty up to 30 days prior to departure.
Trips will have a maximum capacity of 24 guests to allow for comfortable physical distancing, while procedures also include comprehensive health measures including pre-trip screening, daily disinfecting and working with all restaurants, activities and accommodation providers to ensure safety.
Globus has released a TVC to promote the launch, which is now live at traveldaily.com.au/videos.
