2012 is also a significant year for Tucan Travel as it will mark 25 years since it first began offering tours in Latin America to like-minded adventure travellers who wanted to gain the real travel experience. In the last 25 years Tucan Travel has since gone on to cover the globe, offering over 450 itineraries to nearly 70 countries over six continents.

Here’s just some of what’s in store…
Introducing two all-new travel styles!
In what would have to be the most important addition to the new worldwide brochure, Tucan Travel has launched a brand new travel style to be called Just Go tours. This new travel style is designed to encourage would-be travellers to just ‘get up and go’ with the itinerary mainly focused on the destinations visited and not the time spent getting there. This doesn’t mean that the adventure of getting there is not important, just that being flexible in how you travel allows clients to experience so much more. So whether it is by local train or private bus, camel back or breeze-powered sailing boats, it’s the getting there that counts.
Starting next year Just Go Tours will be operating in Egypt and in China, offering clients over a dozen new itineraries and routes in these two fabulous destinations.
The other new travel style that will be released for next year is the Private Tours style. This new style will allow clients to follow many of our favourite itineraries but with their own group of family, friends, colleagues or students. These tours can then be tweaked to offer clients accommodation levels to suit as well as modes of transport; our vehicles can be used if required or tour leaders can escort private groups on public transport. This new style offers clients looking to share the adventure with a select group of people the chance to get the most out of well-established infrastructure of networks and support.
Introducing new Rewards Programme
Tucan Travel is equally thrilled to be able to announce the release of a new discount scheme. This is called our Rewards Programme and gives client the opportunity to combine any of four criteria, each offering 5% off the price of a tour, to get as much as 10% off the price of most of our group tours. Such criteria include booking multiple tours, booking in advance and repeat custom. Full details of the new Rewards Programme are available on the website.
From the West all the way east
One exciting new adventure offered in the new brochure is the chance for those seeking the ultimate overland trip to travel from Budapest as far east as it is possible to go to Beijing, culturally worlds away. This tour can be taken in either direction and includes the indomitable Trans Mongolian as it trundles along through the vast and fascinating Siberian expanse.
Optional single sups and other changes inspired by feedback
The nature of tours means Tucan Travel relies heavily on client feedback to best follow how its tours are running, how suppliers are performing and what things clients would like to see more or less of. One of the big new changes in next year’s brochure as a direct result of client feedback is the introduction of single supplements on Adventure Tours style which will allow clients to upgrade to a room of their own. This has been often cited as a desire of many clients so the company is glad to be able to offer this in 2012.
Like any year we have made some itinerary changes to some of our tours, such as an extra night here or a shorter travel day there in response to other feedback from clients, agents and staff. Where changes have been made Tucan Travel is keen to stress that all the favourite itineraries are still there, just improved.
Tucan Travel CEO Matt Gannan has expressed the company’s excitement with the brochure and in particular the new Just Go Tours and Private Tours travel styles.
“We are really delighted to mark 25 years of Tucan Travel in 2012. It is a vindication to the original spirit of the company when it was set up all those years ago. Beginning in Latin America the idea to offer something different to those looking for a real travel experience has gone from strength to strength and today covers six continents across the globe.
“The introduction of two new travel styles is just a continuation of that development and will open the company up to new opportunities and clients will have the chance to vary the way they experience their own adventure of a lifetime,” Gannan said.
What else is new?
Squeezing the whole world into one brochure is never simple, but Tucan Travel has divided it into five easily-identifiable regions, each with a full-page physical map that identifies some of the regional highlights and inspires people to visit. Each tour is accompanied with one of our new-look maps with the tour route marked out and colourful, evocative photos to further whet an appetite for adventure.
Paper copies of the brochure will be sent out on request and can be ordered at https://www.tucantravel.com/contact-us/order-a-brochure and digital brochure is available online at http://ebrochure.tucantravel.com/fvx/tucan/2012-2013gbp/.
