In a highly competitive market, Explore Worldwide is making its mark by offering tours that are tailor-made to offer the ultimate experience. In this week’s Take 5, we ask Katy Rockett, Regional Director North America, how the tour operator is leaning on travel agents to do just that. 1.
For travel agents who aren’t yet familiar with Explore Worldwide, can you give us a brief overview? “Explore Worldwide was founded in 1981 with a mission to deliver authentic travel experiences that are thoughtful, responsible, and deeply connected to the places and people we visit. Today, our portfolio spans over 350 itineraries across 100 countries and range from cultural discovery, walking and hiking, to cycling trips. “We cater primarily to solo travellers, couples, and friends who are looking for more out of their vacation.
With an average group size of just 11, our tours are perfect for those looking to forge close bonds and engage with their surroundings on a deeper level. “Each journey is designed by our expert product team who are not only industry professionals but also passionate adventure travellers. Their deep understanding and personal experience ensure that every tour is tailored to offer the ultimate experience, whether it’s a challenging trek or a scenic cycling route.
“But perhaps what truly defines an Explore tour is our team of expert local guides. These guides bring our tours to life with their local knowledge and passion, helping connect travellers.” 2.
