ITALY

Italy is always a hot destination and we plan several client trips throughout the country every year. One of the first countries to lift Covid testing requirements, it was extremely popular last year. It was tough, but we've done some serious gelato research for clients too (We had clients make sure the Florentine gelato recommendation was still up to snuff last summer and it’s still good!) It remains popular so inquire now if you are thinking about traveling here in 2023.

USA

I’ve always said that there are so many amazing things to see right here in the USA. The pandemic has forced many people to travel domestically, who would otherwise have gone abroad. There are many amazing properties near the national parks and historic accommodations within. Things booked up fast the last two years so we’re starting to see a bit more availability at the top US properties this year.

Thailand

From the serene temples of Chiang Mai, to the boisterous capital of Bangkok, to the beautiful southern beaches, Thailand has something to entice everyone. They opened their borders slowly but tourism is back in full swing!

Looking for an adventure in nature? From helicopter tours of glaciers, to beach side hikes, and vineyard hopping by bicycle, there's something for everyone. The airlines are expanding their direct offerings from the USA to make it relatively easy to get there (New York, Chicago, Dallas, LA, Seattle and Honolulu). There are also some comfortable options for that long haul even if you can’t afford business class seats. Reach out for a free consultation to find out more!
