If you’re looking for travel experiences to entice your clients, here are four that might inspire them. From diving into women’s history and celebrating the 100 years of voting rights for women, to glamping in a luxury working ranch, or just taking in stunning rooftop views, here are a few U.S.-based trip recommendations.
1. A Women’s History Lesson
Located in the heart of downtown Nashville and just one block from the state capitol building, The Hermitage Hotel became a storied backdrop for an embattled mix of pro-and anti-suffragists, legislators and lobbyists in the summer of 1920 leading up to the ratification of the 19th Amendment. As the nation prepares to celebrate the centennial anniversary of women’s suffrage, The Hermitage Hotel has just been added to the National Historic Landmark Registry, commemorating the bold women who fought for their rights at the world-renowned, 110-year-old property a century ago. The hotel is also offering various educational programming to teach guests about suffrage history, from socially distanced high teas with historic re-enactors and a suffrage cocktail menu inspired by the suffragist leaders, to weekly history tours around the hotel, and a suffrage themed dinner series featuring dishes from the 1920’s at the iconic Capitol Grille.
