We have recently been asked about the future of group touring in a COVID world. I believe we should be more confident than ever. Travel will be more difficult during this time, but we can make it easier. This is the #1 reason people take a tour…”it’s easy.” For 92 years, GFOB has been maneuvering around the hassles and providing benefits like skipping the lines at popular attractions to make travel easy (and now safe). We also know the hotels and venues with the right safety protocols. Plus with GFOB, travelers are not left to figure out all the local COVID guidelines and laws. There is also safety and peace of mind being with the same group of health screened, people. Compared that to a “hop on, hop off” tour for example. And, of course, all our brands and trips have a GFOB person there ready to help. I believe touring and river cruising with GFOB makes more sense than ever.
