GLOBUS FEATURES “HOT” GETAWAYS & DEALS IN

SOUTH & CENTRAL AMERICA FOR 2011

LITTLETON, Colorado – August 30, 2010 – Boasting some of the world’s best cuisine, inspired splendor, intriguing history and electrifying exploration, not to mention, unparalleled travel value, it’s no wonder South America has witnessed double-digit growth for Globus in the last five years. Now, the world’s leading tour operator is showcasing six unforgettable tours in Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Guatemala and Mexico for 2011.

“Many of us travel to see the beauty and charm of the world, to experience different customs and cultures, to marvel and be moved,” said Scott Nisbet, president and chief executive officer of the Globus family of brands.“ And, featuring everything from a mysterious history of the Incan empire and natural wonders of rain forests to pristine beaches and a vigorous night-life, there’s no better place to experience the diversity the world offers us than taking a tour through South or Central America.”

Showcasing the best of South America is Globus’ Legacy of the Incas – itsmost popular South America tour.   To both celebrate and spotlight the “world of the Incas” – and give travelers pre-trip insight into the robust storytelling they will receive on tour, thanks to highly skilled and knowledgeable Tour Directors – Globus worked with author of four Incan books and Anthropology Professor Michael Malpass to reveal hidden stories about the Incan empire available online at www.globusjourneys.com.

“Great storytelling can bring a vacation to life,” said Nisbet.“ And it’s the memorable stories our Globus travelers ‘live’ on tour that give them the chance to do more than simply see the world’s greatest sights. We help them immerse themselves in the history and culture of each destination.”

To further entice travelers to experience all that Central and South America have to offer, Globus is offering $300 off the air-inclusive price of all 2011 South America vacations when booked before October 12, 2010.*  Visit www.globusjourneys.com for more information.
