“2019 has been a year of great new destinations, accomplishments, and more.”
-Tania, Trek Travel President
As we look back on all the adventures in 2019, there are a couple wonderful moments that really stand out in our company’s memory.
1. Launch of online booking
Now guests can reserve a trip when it is most convenient for their schedule. Our trip consultants are still available to answer any questions and offer advice, but if you want to snag the last spot on a popular trip, you can do that day or night.
2. A wedding in Tuscany
We were honored to be a part of this bike-loving couple’s big day! After riding in their bridal themed jerseys (yes, they make wedding dress and tuxedo jerseys), they celebrated with an intimate group of friends and family.
3. Safety upgrades with WaveCel
We introduced the WaveCel helmet on our trips to offer some of the latest technology in helmet design and safety.
4. Going Glamping
For the first time ever, we partnered up with Under Canvas to offer a glamping trip in Glacier National Park. Guests loved the opportunity to sleep under the stars in the heart of Montana’s beautiful nature.
5. Guide Training in Palm Springs, California
It’s always a party when the guides are in town! In 2019, we gathered in Palm Springs with all of our returning guides for training on everything from bike mechanics to team building.
6. New destinations
We were delighted to offer a trip in Japan this past year to bring our guests to Asia. We also traveled to Sicily, Normandy, and Norway for the first time!
7. Riding for a cause
One of our unbelievable guests crossed the country this year on a mission to do good. After losing his wife in 2018 to complications from Crohn’s Colitis Disease, this guest dedicated his trip across the country to her – and raised nearly $70,000 for the Crohn’s Colitis National Foundation.
8. Conquering New Heights
After battling with the grief of losing a child, Trek Travel’s Guide Coordinator, Kristin, poured her energy into training to take on the biggest, most challenging climbs in Italy. Throughout the seemingly impossible ascents, she discovered the depths her own physical and mental strength.
9. New guest milestones
One of our wonderful, loyal guests took his 25th trip with Trek Travel this year, making him the record holder for number of trips traveled with us. Another guest hit his 20th trip too!
