Oh. My. Goodness!
New Industry High:
I just finished an hour long interview with Washington Post Travel Writer, Hannah Sampson!

“Hi Tiffany,
I write about travel for The Washington Post and I'm working on a story about river cruises. It's kind of a general, what-to-know story for folks who don't know that much about them. I came across the Facebook group that you co-manage and wondered if you'd have a few minutes to discuss river cruises with me on Thursday? I'm interested in talking about everything from the different options that are out there to the onboard experience to the destinations people can choose.

Thanks so much,
Hannah

Happy 100th Birthday to TAUCK!
🎉🎂👏

Dear Tauck Travel Advisor,

Thank you!

As we start Tauck’s Centennial year, I can’t think of anything more important to convey than heartfelt gratitude to you, our esteemed travel partners.

For the last 100 years, we’ve welcomed hundreds of thousands of guests on journeys in more than 70 countries across all seven continents, on land, river, and small ship cruising. Whether your clients have traveled with us on their own, or with their friends and family – or if you and yours have traveled with us – you are all part of our Global Family. We are humbled and honored by the faith and trust you place in us to help make travel dreams come true. We simply wouldn’t be where we are without your partnership.

Since Arthur Tauck Sr’s first sightseeing excursions on the dusty roads of New England in 1925, much has changed. In this last week alone, we marked the start of our Centennial year with our guests in Cuba, Costa Rica, The Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Chile, Tanzania, India, New Zealand, Hawaii—and Pasadena during our Rose Bowl Event—places Arthur Sr. never dreamed his tours would go. Yet in all these new places and ways to travel, we have never wavered from his commitment to invest in the experience and to do what’s right. I can promise you that we launch our second century with those same values and the same fervent intent to make each journey better and better still.

We cannot wait to host your clients – and hopefully you too – this year and celebrate this milestone! We have many exciting new journeys planned—from our newest, fascinating country, Colombia, to the stunning wine regions of Piedmont in ever-popular Italy. And other new destinations and opportunities will be coming soon.

On behalf of all of us here at Tauck, please know how much we value and treasure each and every one of you, and we look forward to our second century full of new adventures.
