Globus, National Park Foundation Partner to Offer GoParks! Tours

The Globus family of brands is partnering with the National Park Foundation (NPF), the official charity of America’s national parks, to provide tour and packaged travel experiences in America’s national parks. As part of the GoParks! partnership, when travelers book a Globus, Cosmos or Monograms U.S. National Parks vacation, Globus will make a donation to the National Park Foundation at no additional cost to travelers.

“National parks give us a unique oasis where postcard views meet real, life-altering experiences,” said Steve Born, vice president of marketing for the Globus family of brands. “Now, we’re not only giving wanderlust-driven travelers inspired national park vacations, with each booking, we’re also ensuring ongoing conservation of these amazing national treasures.”

Globus programs feature nearly 20 national parks -- from Yellowstone and Yosemite to Bryce Canyon and the Badlands -- in nearly 35 touring and independent vacations. “On our GoParks! Tours, travelers won’t just briefly walk around the Grand Canyon, they’ll stay overnight on its magnificent rim,” said Born. “And, they won’t just see the sites that played a role in the birth of this nation, they’ll hear hidden stories about the struggles of our Founding Fathers, thanks to our expert tour directors. We understand that destinations aren’t just places on the map, they are the backdrops of some of the most fascinating scenes and stories in history.”
