Trafalgar Celebrates 65 Years As A Leader in Guided Vacations

    ANAHEIM, CA, May 27, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- From humble beginnings in 1947 to today, Trafalgar (www.trafalgar.com) has upheld its reputation as a favorite in guided vacations, all while leading the way in the evolution of group travel. What started in the 1940s in London as a business man' s travel company has since grown to become a global travel brand with a variety of products for every type of traveler, visiting over 400 exciting destinations worldwide.

"As travel trends continue to evolve, we're proud that Trafalgar has consistently been able to meet the diverse needs of travelers, whether it's with our recently introduced Family Experiences and At Leisure programs or our updated First Class itineraries, says Paul Wiseman, President of Trafalgar USA. We've come a long way from 1947 and our product has never been stronger, as we take our guests deep into the heart of their destination, interacting with locals and providing them with the opportunity to see the world as an insider."

With unique cultural experiences for travelers around the world, Trafalgar has carved out their space in the travel industry with exclusive highlights like Hidden Treasures and Be My Guest dining that can't be found anywhere else. As we celebrate the brand's 65th birthday, Trafalgar continues to reinvent what it means to be a guided vacation company, with experiences that are not only authentic and personal, but are also opportunities for guests to learn, engage and enjoy destinations that they simply could not have had if they were traveling on their own or with others. Regional highlights like Local Specialties and interactions with Local Experts are some of the other elements that Trafalgar has introduced to take guided vacations into the future as a travel option that shows guests much more than traveling solo.

To celebrate their 65th birthday, Trafalgar invites consumers to join the festivities with their Make My Cake contest. The contest, which runs from May 1st- June 15th, asks fans to whip up an incredible cake for Trafalgar's birthday with 15 fantastic prizes to be won. To enter to win, consumers simply have to "like" Trafalgar on Facebook and submit the online entry form along with a photo of their delicious cake creation. After the contest closes, a panel of Trafalgar judges will choose their favorite cakes to win the grand prize of a $500 gift certificate for a Trafalgar trip of their choice!
