Private TripsINADDITIONTO OUR PORTFOLIO OF PUBLISHED TRIPS OFFERED THROUGH OUR BROCHURES ANDwebsite, we have developed an extensive private trip planning capability that allows us to workwith individuals, travel agencies, corporations and non-profit organizations in building unique,custom-designed trips and travel programs.INDIVIDUAL TRIPS. Private trips are a perfect way for families or friends to celebrate special occasions or simplyspend time with one another. We generally recommend a group size of 6 or more to keep the costs reasonable, andthe trip can either be built around one of our published itineraries or we can start from scratch and draw upon ourunparalleled travel expertise to build the trip of your dreams. Our trip planners and sales staff work closely with thegroup leader to ensure that the trip reflects a unique travel experience hand-tailored to match the specific needs andinterests of your group.CORPORATE TRIPS. We run two different kinds of trips for corporations under the brand Radical Sabbatical –incentive trips (“Boondoggles Re-invented”) and executive retreats (“Innovation Adventures”). Our BoondogglesRe-invented are designed to motivate and reward employees, clients and partners, and thus the itineraries tend toreflect the culture of the corporation and are usually tailored to the specific circumstances. Our Innovation Adventures,on the other hand, are curriculum-driven executive retreats that use the catalyst of experiential travel to shift perspective,inspire creativity and produce tangible, lasting results.TRAVEL AGENTS. We work with many travel agencies and individual agents to offer private-label trips combiningour planning and operational expertise with their brand reputation and traveller database. The travel agents are ableto maintain complete ownership of their database while at the same time offering special value-added amenities andunique travel experiences to their loyal travellers.NON-PROFIT TRIPS. We work with a wide variety of non-profit organizations (from museums and art galleries toalumni groups and book clubs) to develop trips and travel programs that raise money, generate awareness and buildloyalty. In some situations the trips are crafted to showcase the field work of an organization, while in other cases they aredesigned simply to allow the alumni to socialize and share adventures together. We understand the challenges of workingin these kinds of partnerships, including the appropriate allocation of risk, division of labour and distribution of the rewards,and we are sensitive of the need to balance generating revenue with protecting the integrity of the organization’s brand.1-800-387-2977 www.horizon-co.com
