Chile Travel and Avanti Destinations have teamed up on a new campaign to inspire and educate travel advisors about custom FIT travel throughout Chile—from Patagonia to the Atacama Desert, the Lake District, wine country, Easter Island and more.
Available now through Avanti’s travel advisor portal, the campaign includes a 54-page downloadable e-brochure, Chile: Infinite Journey, and a recorded webinar packed with travel insights and tools. The resources are designed to help you create tailor-made itineraries that highlight Chile’s vast geographic diversity and rich cultural offerings.
Why Chile for FIT Travel?
“Few countries pack the geographic diversity of Chile with the soaring Andes mountains, volcanos, the otherworldly Atacama Desert and its salt flats, a 4,000 mile-long Pacific coastline, the unique unspoiled beauty of Patagonia, forests, lakes, glaciers, ice fields, a renowned wine region and Easter Island/Rapa Nui with its enigmatic Moai statues,” said Paul Barry, CEO of Avanti Destinations, in a press statement.
For clients inexperienced with independent travel, Chile makes an excellent pre- or post-cruise destination, and two of the highlighted vacations have been designed to provide just that. Our destination specialists can help advisors tailor a customized itinerary to suit each client,” added Barry.
The partnership promotes a robust lineup of eight customizable FIT vacations and two fixed-itinerary packages, featuring:
- 75 handpicked 3-, 4-, and 5-star hotels and resorts
- 63 private and shared sightseeing tours
- 14 destinations across Chile
Featured experiences include:
- River rafting in the Lake District (Pucon)
- Street art tour in Valparaiso
- Hot air balloon rides in the Atacama Desert
- Bar-hopping and cooking classes in Santiago
- Kayaking in the Strait of Magellan and Llanquihue Lake
- Stargazing and sunrise photography tours in the Atacama
- Polynesian umu dinner on Rapa Nui
- Penguin, glacier, wine, and Mapuche cultural tours
Advisors can mix and match destinations, hotels, activities, and transfer services to design completely customized trips tailored to a client’s travel style, budget and timeline.
