WELCOME to the art of traveling in style It is unbelievable how much our world has changed in a short time. We have all been forever imprinted with memories of sheltering away from our friends and family, taking extraordinary measures to stay healthy and longing to return to the things we love—like travel. Being part of a family-run company that’s been in business for over 100 years and is proudly debt free, means you can travel with the reassurance that we have put numerous new measures in place to elevate our hygiene standards and protocols. Smaller groups and more personal space on our coaches allow you to travel as part of a sociable group and still maintain your physical distance. The wellbeing of our guests and team has always been, and always will be, our top priority. In 2021 we are excited to announce trips to Latin America for the first time. From Peru to Patagonia and Argentina to the Atacama Desert, you’ll be able to delve into the ancient archaeology and rich cultural and natural heritage that this region is famed for. You can also witness the vibrant fall foliage of New England, and dine out on traditional fresh lobster Maine style in a waterfront restaurant in Bar Harbor. We continue to support local businesses and communities during these exceptional times and no matter where you go, you’ll enjoy seamless stress-free travel as we share our passion for travel with you.

TRADITION MEETS HOLLYWOOD IN MONUMENT VALLEY Explore with your Navajo guide One of the most majestic destinations on earth, Monument Valley dazzles with its striking landscapes, colorful sunsets and tribal culture. Delve into its history with an expert. LARRY H. /ARIZONA NAVAJO GUIDE me in Monument Valley for an Join introduction into Navajo culture and history.
Learn how sacred this land is to my people, and more about the large, sandstone rock formations that make up the area. I will show you Monument Valley’s secrets, as you take in the tribal park’s landscapes during a ride onboard our all-terrain vehicles. I myself, have been guiding travelers across the land and sharing Navajo stories with them for over 20 years. Meet members of my tribe and learn more about our daily lives. We’ll talk to you about how we maintain our traditions in a modern society, and I’ll introduce you to weavers who will show you the methods we use to make our traditional rugs and other products. Discover more about our traditional dress and the stories behind it. This includes the “tsiiyéél” or hair bun, which, to us, represents the identity of each tribe member and can even reflect their way of life and who they are as a person. Turquoise, or “Doo tl’ izh ii” is also significant in my culture. It is supposed to bring good fortune and protect our people from evil. Historically it was used to protect warriors in battle. Today, we still treasure the gemstone for its beauty and good luck. It is a typical gift to exchange among my people and you will see it incorporated in the jewelry we sell. And of course, how could I forget the influence the area has had on the Western movie scene? John Ford shot nine movies here, among them “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” and “Stagecoach” in 1938. Learn more about how the location has inspired the Golden Age of Hollywood and more about the movie stars that stayed here, including John Wayne.

HEATHER A. /USA & CANADA INSIGHT VACATIONS TRAVEL DIRECTOR
M
y calling has always been to work with people. So, after leaving my career in the airline industry, it felt right to continue working in travel. I’ve been with Insight Vacations, where I lead trips across the USA and Canada, for over seven years.
My favorite time of year to travel is October. I love to see guests fall in love with nature on our fall foliage vacations, in New England and Eastern Canada. At this time, these destinations are lit up by colorful orange and red hues.
with the locals they meet along the way. This includes a chef at a cooking school in Ottawa. He has a great way of getting everyone to interact, as they learn to prepare traditional Canadian cuisine with him, before trying it out for themselves.
My role as a Travel Director allows me to connect with likeminded individuals, from all over the world. I show them new destinations and help them make memorable experiences that last a lifetime. For a lot of guests, they’re on a trip that they’ve been dreaming about for a long time, so to help bring this dream to life is very special.
The pretty fishing town of Bar Harbor is particularly beautiful. I urge everyone to try its delicious, fresh seafood, and in summer, to take a walk along the shoreline at sunset.
I think guided vacations are a great way to make new friends. They appeal to people who want to travel and truly live in the moment, without having to question logistics. We take care of everything for them, so they simply get to sit back, enjoy themselves and their surroundings.
Not only is it important for guests to connect with each other, but to connect

INTRODUCING OUR TREADRIGHT AMBASSADORS CÉLINE COUSTEAU / PLANET AMBASSADOR Environmentalist • Explorer • Filmmaker
Céline travels the world helping to communicate the stories that connect humans and the environment. “Every journey we take deepens our appreciation and respect for this planet we all call home. The Americas offer some of the most awe-inspiring sights on earth, which I have been fortunate to see while navigating the Amazon, the coastal water of Chile all the way to Antarctica, and tracking the gray whale migration from Mexico to Alaska. We must make our travels sustainable – so our planet can keep sustaining us.” Discover our planet on our England’s Fall Foliage trip. See page 38 for details.
THE TREADRIGHT FOUNDATION A portion of the money spent on your Insight Vacation goes directly to support the work of the TreadRight Foundation. Learn about the 55 amazing projects you’ll be supporting around the world and more about the work of Céline, Sarain, and Ami. TreadRight.org

Sarain amplifies the voices of her Indigenous community through preservation of culture and stories. “When we make authentic connections with local people our travel becomes infinitely richer. My First Nation Anishinaabe heritage serves as the lens through which I view the world, seeking to build a bridge to the people whose lands I am grateful to visit and whose stories I am privileged to tell. Throughout The Americas, you will find rich cultures to discover and support – and fascinating people to meet.” Meet fascinating people on our Argentina, Uruguay & Brazil Discovery trip. See page 62 for details.
AMI VITALE / WILDLIFE AMBASSADOR Photographer • Filmmaker • Writer
An award-winning National Geographic photographer, Ami has captured images in over 100 countries. “Nature is sending us all a strong message now. We need to start recognising that we are not separate from nature. When we see ourselves as part of the landscape and part of nature, then saving nature is really about saving ourselves. Traveling across the Americas, you will witness powerful stories that remind us of just how small and deeply interconnected our world is. I hope we all take advantage of this time to reimagine our relationship to nature and each other.” Observe stunning wildlife on our Jewels of Alaska trip. See page 18 for details. 10

A FAMILY LEGACY IN TRAVEL In 1920, Evelyn and Solomon Tollman laid the foundation for what would become TTC by opening a small hotel in Paternoster, 150 km up the Atlantic coast from Cape Town, South Africa. It was in that hotel that the family’s passion for service developed. Solomon Tollman treated every guest as though they were his only guest, welcoming each with the warmth and hospitality he had not found in his own travels. Working day and night, he built that hotel into a thriving business. In the process, he defined the family legacy: Driven by Service. Founder of TTC Solomon Tollman with his wife Evelyn
While much has changed over the past 100 years, this passionate focus has remained exactly the same, and is precisely the attitude that defines each brand within The Travel Corporation today. INSIGHT VACATIONS | AMERICAS

FALL FOLIAGE IN THE NORTHEAST New England for foodies If you’re wondering what it’s really like traveling with Insight Vacations, how better to find out than from recent guests?
BRUCE AND ROSE LARKIN /WISCONSIN, USA INSIGHT GUESTS
W
hen booking my trip last year, I already knew my Northeast vacation would be phenomenal. I had traveled with Insight Vacations before and love how they always arrange great accommodation and amazing food. If I could do the trip all over again, I would. We had excellent weather and it was breathtaking to see the beautiful fall colors out east. The vacation was handled so beautifully by our travel director Tiffany—she really did an outstanding job. There were 23 people on this trip, and she engaged with each one of us individually, to ensure the trip was always fun. This allowed us to really connect with one another. It was such a joy for Tiffany to keep everyone energized. The highlight of the trip for me was visiting the Von Trapp family in Stowe, Vermont, which is home to the breathtaking alpine setting that attracted the real Von Trapp family of ‘The Sound of Music’. We stayed at the family’s Austrian-style lodge and indulged in a three-course dinner that I will never forget. The lodge is so beautiful and has so much history. On the grounds, you’ll find the gravesite of Von Trapp and his wife Maria, which made our stay even more spectacular. The food experiences did not disappoint either. One of our favorite dishes was fresh fish and lobster at The Red Lion Inn in
Stockbridge. We also enjoyed tasting maple syrup in Vermont. We couldn’t get enough of the 8-generation Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks. We love maple syrup so much and of course bought some to take home
The vacation was handled so beautifully by our travel director Tiffany—she really did an outstanding job. Kennebunkport in Maine was one of the best scenic experiences on the coast. This is where president H.W. Bush had a summer home. We saw a beautiful lighthouse and cool historic sites. We signed up for the optional trip to the Northeast Norman Rockwell museum because he is one of our favorite artists, and the experience did not disappoint.
New England, USA
Lighthouse in Portland, Maine
Overall, the trip was so well organized— for food and historical sites—it was unbelievable. Our Travel Director, Tiffany, knew everywhere to visit outside the hotel and made it fun. We are heading on another trip with Insight soon, out west, to explore the canyons and national parks. We know it will be another wonderful experience! Thank you, Bruce and Rose, for sharing your travel story and photos.
