ATG NEWS LATE SUMMER NEWS 2020 Dear ATG Clients, We hope you, your family and friends are staying well. This newsletter comes with our best wishes and also our thanks for your patience and understanding during this difficult time. The new 2021 ATG programmes (pages 10-15) include fewer departures than usual, as, although some trips are already well-booked, many of these are reservations transferred from 2020 to 2021. Provision of new trips has been hampered by travel restrictions. There are, however, two new walks in France, and a luxury trip in italy – to celebrate release from ‘Lockdowns’! (pages 8 & 9). A significant number of clients were determined not to miss their ATG trips in 2020. We must thank them – on behalf of the staff, hoteliers and restaurateurs on ATG routes, for braving the uncertainty. How was the experience…? see ‘Feedback’ – and a note on ‘Travel Future’ on page 16. The success of controlling the spread of the virus at community level ensured that millions of people and vast beautiful areas (including those of ATG trips) remained ‘Covid-free’. it is unfortunate that this Good news has been obscured by centralist focus on dramas of ‘the bigger picture’. We have all been finding it ‘tough on the front line of life’… and hoping for a break. But if you feel it’s too late to book your ATG trip for 2020 – it’s not too early to book for 2021 and secure your 2021 trip at 2020 prices*. We very much look forward to welcoming you… From All at ATG.
