Contiki, the carbon-neutral tour operator for young adults aged 18-35, is offering new ways to save on last-minute trips this year with its spring Switch On Travel Sale, with discounts up to 25 percent off.
The Switch On Travel Sale is offering a selection of 34 different itineraries with 2024 departures at discounted rates. European itineraries are now 25 percent off; Asia and Australia itineraries are 20 percent off; and New Zealand trips are now 15 percent off, all through April 30.
Discounted departures are those departing between April through December of this year.
Travelers can save 25 percent off on the popular 11-day Greek Island Hopper tour, which offers a comprehensive visit to some of Greece’s most amazing ocean-bound locales: Mykonos, Ios, Paros and Santorini.
The trip also includes one of TTC Tour Brands’ signature Make Travel Matter experiences: an optional visit to the town of Lefkes on Paros, where travelers will visit a century-old family-run bakery and experience rural village life on a Greek isle.
Contiki has been busy expanding its tour offerings for 2024: since last summer, it's begun offering new trips to South Africa, South Korea, new destinations across Europe, and for the first time, to the Philippines.
