Five Tour Operators Debut Trusted Adventures Website

The new "Trusted Adventures" alliance
offers an interactive site with trip search capabilities provides one-stop access to 220 trips to over 70 worldwide destinations. The five founding members of Trusted Adventures include; Austin-Lehman Adventures, Wildland Adventures, Euro-Bike & Walking Tours, Western River Expeditions, and AAVE Teen Adventures.

Each company, a pioneer in its respective field, has over 20 years of experience in offering client-service-oriented programs. Said Dan Austin, director of Austin-Lehman Adventures: "By joining forces we can all, in good conscience, send our veteran travelers to parts of the world that individually we don¹t cover with our own programs."

For example, a family that traveled with Austin-Lehman Adventures may have a teenager who wants to travel with other teens. AAVE Teen Adventures, an alliance member, can accommodate this ALA "alum" with a group of like-minded adventurers on, among others, an African safari.

Visitors to the website will find detailed information on each member company, a featured trip section that highlights seasonal offerings, client testimonials, travel industry awards, a photo gallery, and a page with special offers and consumer discounts.

One such special is the Trusted Adventures Reward Program. As an incentive to travel within the network of alliance companies, the consortium offers a 5 percent discount off any trip if the client has previously traveled with any of the other Trusted Adventures companies.
