A&K Sees Increased Demand for Around-the-World Journeys by Private Jet

Travelers are ready to go all out on their trips. Luxury tour operator Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) has seen growing demand for its around-the-world journeys by private jet, and the tour operator is responding, opening bookings for its Cultural Treasures: Around the World by Private Jet.

“Since the return to travel, we have seen an increase in demand for longer, more immersive trips–especially our Private Jet journeys, which were the first and fastest to fill,” said Ann Epting, senior vice president, private jet and special interest travel. “Travelers have been starved for the type of cultural experiences that can only be found in these extraordinary destinations-and are eager for the chance to cross seven different places off their bucket list in just 24 days.”
