DENVER, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Maintaining its position as the World's Elite Private Vacation Club, Exclusive Resorts today announced its twelfth collection of extraordinary Once-in-a-Lifetime Journeys for travel in 2020. The eleven experiences take Members to more than 30 countries across the globe, from Antarctica to Argentina, Australia and everywhere in between.
Exclusive Resorts has steadily evolved its collection of Once-in-a-Lifetime Journeys since 2008. The 2020 Journeys feature Member-favorite destinations like a combined trip to Australia and New Zealand along with new experiences in India, the Holy Land, and The Club's first ever Around the World by Private Jet. Each itinerary, uniquely crafted and not offered elsewhere, provides insight into local culture, cuisine, landscape, and history. Every Journey is vetted by Exclusive Resorts and planned specifically for Club Members, keeping their interests and needs top of mind so they can travel confidently, knowing The Club will deliver incredible experiences not soon forgotten.
"Exclusive Resorts Members are active, curious, and motivated to explore the world," said Gina Bach, Vice President of The Club's Experience Collection. "Our Once-in-a-Lifetime Journeys are diverse, with options for families, couples, and individuals alike. When crafting the 2020 collection, we heeded Member feedback to explore lesser-known parts of the world and areas more difficult to travel in."
The Club's 2020 Once-in-a-Lifetime Journeys, currently available for reservations, include everything from a family safari in Botswana, to a New Year's celebration in Antarctica, and a wine-lover's experience in Argentina. "We are always looking for ways to enhance and enrich our Members' lives," said Bach. "I am thrilled to announce these new experiences and help our Club Members explore the world."
