Alexander+Roberts Debuts Journeys Without a Crowd On-Tour Protocols for More Personal Space + Extra Care

 

June 17, 2020 – Keene, NH – Pioneering travel company Alexander+Roberts has released newly enhanced hygiene protocols for all of their 2020-2022 worldwide journeys. Long known for its Small Group Journeys of never more than 16 guests and luxury Private Tours, the company has published these Journeys Without a Crowd protocols on its website.

Emphasizing More Personal Space + Extra Care at every step of the on-tour experience, from arrival transfers and sightseeing to dining and accommodations, A+R developed these protocols in careful coordination with their overseas offices and based upon guidelines from the U.S Center for Disease Control, World Health Organization, United States Tour Operators Association and World Travel & Tourism Council. Encompassing a detailed 19-point list, these extensive protocols include the following:

  • Larger luxury motorcoaches so each A+R guest will have two seats to themselves while sightseeing.
  • All high-touch motorcoach and private car surfaces will be sanitized each morning and regularly throughout the day.
  • Prearranged entry for all sightseeing to avoid standing in line with other travelers.
  • Whisper Headsets for groups of 5 or more, except for certain nature activities in remote areas like the Amazon
  • No group seating: A+R guests will dine at smaller, well-spaced tables in spacious venues - with the choice for al fresco dining whenever available.
  • Restaurants have been carefully selected to avoid crowded high-capacity places, with the emphasis on fine farm-to-table dining.
  • All hotels, including respected luxury brands like Four Seasons, Park Hyatt and Belmond have been selected for their industry-leading standards and protocols that ensure the well being of their guests.

And Always… Traveling Without a Crowd

The complete list of A+R’s protocols can be viewed and printed from an Online PDF. It is a Living Document that will be regularly updated to follow any new or revised guidelines from these global health and tourism authorities.
