After a decade of successful collaboration, G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions have renewed their partnership for another 10 years.
G Adventures and National Geographic first announced their collaboration in 2015, launching with 70 trips under the banner National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures. In 2019, the partnership expanded with National Geographic Family Journeys, a new immersive trip style geared to families with children.
Over the 10-year partnership, G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions carefully crafted over 100 itineraries, visiting over 50 countries.
“National Geographic Expeditions’ core belief is the importance of exploration, and we strive to create unique and authentic expeditions that inspire travellers to care about the world around them,” said Nancy Schumacher, senior vice president and general manager, National Geographic Expeditions. “Together, we’re thrilled to continue developing meaningful and immersive ways for travellers and families alike to truly connect with the people and cultures of destinations around the world.”
In addition to hosting thousands of travelers around the world, this collaboration also produced 25 “G for Good” social enterprise projects and uplifted over 50,000 local community members through community tourism initiatives.
“What started as a shared vision and an opportunity in the group travel market has grown into a collection of truly life-changing experiences,” said Ben Perlo, CEO at G Adventures. “Demand for these types of experiences is growing; since embarking on this journey with National Geographic Expeditions, we’ve seen exceptional growth every year as travellers look to go deeper into destinations, make real human connections and make more thoughtful and intentional choices about where they spend their travel dollars.”
