Backroads Takes On Michigan: A First for the Firm
Well, it seems like Backroads is finally getting the memo about the Midwest gem that is Michigan. They're adding Bike Tours for adults and a Multi-Adventure Trip for families to their 2027 lineup. That's right folks, they're diving into the Great Lakes region, exploring everything from Mackinac Island to Traverse City's vineyards. It's about time they tapped into this laid-back charm.
What's in Store for Spain’s Canary Islands?
So, they’re not just hanging out in the U.S. Backroads is cooking up new adventures in the Canary Islands. With demand shooting through the roof, they've now got separate itineraries for families alongside the adult tours. Picture yourself biking across volcanic landscapes and taking in those unique beaches. Not too shabby, right?
Family Vacations Are on the Rise
Families aren't just sitting at home anymore; they’re planning early. Bookings for 2027 have jumped more than 12 percent since last year. And why wouldn’t they? From the gorgeous landscapes of Michigan to the diverse attractions in the Canaries, there’s a lot to look forward to.
Other Tempting Ventures Await
Backroads isn't stopping there. There’s a whole lineup of family-friendly adventures popping up in Cape Cod, South Dakota, and even Japan. Oh, and they’re doing this Dolce Tempo thing—seems like active travel but a bit more chill. E-biking in Ireland and walking in Patagonia sound all kinds of appealing.
"I'm thrilled to see our Michigan trips come to life. The Great Lakes region offers incredible beauty, great biking and the kind of relaxed, active experience that feels made for Backroads," said Tom Hale, CEO of Backroads.
Loyalty to Luxury and Women’s Adventures
Backroads isn’t leaving the luxury lovers stranded. Their rebranded Luxury Hotels collection is still very much alive, featuring premier stays from Aman to Relais & Châteaux. Then you've got the Women's Adventures, aiming for camaraderie and active days. Options range from easygoing walks to tougher hikes, and their lineup covers everywhere from Nova Scotia to the Pyrenees.
The Backroads Legacy Continues
Founded back in 1979, Backroads isn’t some new kid on the block. They’ve been pushing the envelope in active travel for over 46 years now. With adventures spread across the globe, the company offers everything from Bike Tours to Ocean & River Cruises. But these new 2027 itineraries? They definitely elevate the game.
