As Canada Prepares For 150th Birthday, Globus Launches 2017 Tours
by Richard D’Ambrosio /Ottawa's Parliament building will be in the spotlight in 2017 as Canada celebrates its 150th anniverary.
Canada is planning 150th birthday celebrations across the country for next year, and the Globus Family of Brands in Canada has responded with its 2017 Canada tour lineup.
For clients wanting to be a part of the special 2017 Canada Day events, Globus is offering an extra night in Ottawa on the June 26 departure of Historic Cities of Eastern Canada. The city will be celebrating with a parade and fireworks show.
Globus said it has sold out 11 departures of its popular 12-day Newfoundland & Labrador tour, so the company is offering 18 departures in 2017. Other popular Canada tours include: Glacier National Park & the Canadian Rockies (a 9-day tour that starts/ends in Calgary); Spirit of the Rockies (12-day adventure that begins/ends in Vancouver); Great Canadian Rail Journey (13-days from Toronto to Vancouver); and Wonders of the Maritimes & Scenic Breton (a 9-day vacation that begins/ends in Halifax).
Globus is also offering two “Special Event” getaways: An 8-day Canadian Rockies Winter Adventure and the 4-day Calgary Stampede itinerary.
For clients on a budget, travel agents can book one of Globus’ Cosmos value-priced tours through Western and Eastern Canada, including three priced less than $200/day.
