Weekly Travel Update

Sending you warm wishes for a memorable holiday and a powerful start for 2021!
As we approach the end of this year and make our way into next, we move forward with a renewed optimism. 2020 leaves us with a travel landscape that is different from what we've experienced in recent years.
We are excited about many of the changes that have occurred. There has been a renewed focus on sustainable and authentic travel. We are rethinking not only where to travel but why we travel and how we travel. Health and sanitation practices on planes, trains, ships, airports, hotels, shops and museums are better than ever before. This protects everyone from ALL sorts of contagion! Many suppliers have discovered how much we all appreciate flexibility - from airlines removing change fees to cruises and tours becoming more flexible with cancelations, changes and deposit schedules. We continue to receive reports of abundant active wildlife from the first few of our clients who have experienced tours in the National Parks this summer and same for the first few who have recently returned from Safari. Travelers to Egypt have reported often being the only people at various tombs and monuments. There are so many benefits to being the first travelers back.
One thing that remains the same is our desire to explore. We at Wallace Pierson Travel are well prepared to help you make it to the destination that you missed last year, or maybe discover a new one that may not have been possible before now. We are here and excited to assist when the time is right for you to get back out there and continue making memories with those who matter most.
In travel, it’s all about who you know.
Let Wallace Pierson Travel introduce you!
