Running through November 30, 2022, G Adventures’ Cyber Sale offers up to 30 per cent off select trips when travelling by April 30, 2023. For those looking to travel later than April, this year’s Cyber Sale also includes 10 per cent off select departures departing between May 01 and June 30, 2023.
David Green, managing director for G Adventures in Canada, says it’s clear travel is back, and G Adventures is delighted to be able to offer some incredible deals to people looking to get away this winter and spring, with the added security of guaranteed departures and Life Time Deposits (LTDs).
“Our booking lead times have shrunk back to pre-pandemic levels at just four months, so it’s the perfect opportunity to capitalize on this incredible savings. These are the best discounts we’ve had in the market all year, and for added peace of mind all our departures are guaranteed to run. Our LTD’s also give travellers the peace of mind they need to know that if they need to change their dates and rebook, they can easily do so.
“To top it all off, when customers are booking with G Adventures they can rest assured their money is helping people in local communities continue to recover and thrive as we look ahead to 2023, which we anticipate to be a booming year for international tourism,” says Green.
