Preparing to meet the increased demand for open spaces and off-the-beaten-path travel, Costsaver is expanding to two additional destinations with brand new itineraries in Australia and New Zealand for 2022. As international borders begin to reopen as soon as February 21st, these new itineraries offer the expertise of a guided experience with all the essentials and opportunities for travelers to tailor the trip to create their perfect bucket-list adventure. The new itineraries are available for bookings now for travel in 2022 and 2023.
"We saw amazing growth before the pandemic and with high demand for destinations with plenty of open spaces showing no signs of slowing down, we believe Australia and New Zealand are a natural fit, offering unpackaged and personalized experiences for travelers to get the most out of their vacations." said Melissa DaSilva, US President of Trafalgar, Brendan Vacations, Costsaver, Contiki and Adventure World Travel. "With no change fees and deposit protection for more flexibility plus customizable opportunities, we're confident that Costsaver's momentum will continue to push forward into 2022 and beyond.
