Fiona Hunt, Managing Director, Contiki Holidays Australia said “North America continues to entice Australian travellers to its shores each year with booming figures reported for 2012. Recent US data suggested that Aussie travellers spent a whopping $5.5 billion during their visit and we can vouch that our guests are contributing to that total - our Tour Managers regularly tell us stories of Aussies taking advantage of the incredible prices and bulging suitcases after visits to outlet malls and shopping cities.
“We’re ‘stoked’ to have two new tours including Contiki’s second ski itinerary in North America. Aussies have loved our Lake Tahoe ski option and the Powder Rush trip will allow them to ski or board at some of Canada’s epic mountains both in the Rocky Mountains and Whistler” said Ms Hunt.
Contiki North American trips are packed full of unforgettable experiences and while they are too many to list some include Contiki Special Stay accommodation in a chalet in the stunning resort of Bass Lake, as well as a chalet in the Canadian Rockies. In addition all itineraries include local eats from Chicago pizza haunts, SoCal Mexican, a Chinatown feast in San Francisco and an old style Southern BBQ in Dallas.
