In keeping with many U.S. travelers' desire to vacation closer to home in the wake of coronavirus, Globus and Cosmos are introducing a series of eight- to 14-day "Undiscovered North America" tours, which will explore national parks, up-and-coming cities and historical towns in 2021.
"On our 'Undiscovered North America' vacations, we will take globetrotters down the less-traveled highways, legendary lanes and scenic country roads to the special places and parks other tour companies don't visit," said Steve Born, chief marketing officer for the Globus family of brands. "These itineraries help travelers discover the world's tucked-away towns, lesser-known nooks and secluded seafronts for an unforgettable-and unique-vacation."
