o close and yet so far. This short sentence sums up the recent past for too many of us who love travel. Freedom to move, explore and just stretch has been limited if not impossible; our worlds shrinking to small patches called home. The desire – and for many, need – to travel has never been more potent; the ability to explore and adventure never more appreciated.
I am happy to tell you we are traveling again. Once again exploring, uncovering and enjoying our passion for what we do. The ability to be able to ‘just go’ is one of the many advantages of choosing to travel with us. Trafalgar is also part of something bigger, being part of the Travel Corporation family of 42 award-winning brands. We are a family-owned and run company with over 100 years in the travel industry. We have seen a lot, we have done a lot and we have the process, infrastructure and connections in place to deal with any surprises, adapt to any chan es at a moment s notice should the need arise, while puttin your well ein first, always But most importantly, when choosing to travel with us to discover the diversity, richness and beauty of the USA and Canada, we make it all so easy, enabling you to just ‘be’ by experiencing extraordinary sites and, intimate local life experiences that you will cherish long after your vacation has ended. This year we are giving you 25 reasons to travel the USA and Canada now. It is the time to get out and discover. We have never been more excited to show you the wonders that await; to nurture the tourism industry back to health and use the insider knowledge of our legendary Travel Directors to introduce you to the locals they know and love. When the world seems closed, trust that we know how to unlock doors for you.

Trafalgar Tip While every business in Las Vegas tries to outdo the other by being bigger, newer and trendier – make the pilgrimage to the Peppermill Lounge that has resisted all things modern and will take you back to the Rat Pack days of Las Vegas 50 years ago. The Peppermill likes to say “some things are better left unchanged.”
