The Travel Corporations’ (TTC) guided tour brands announced a Covid-19 vaccination requirement for all adult guests, effective as of September 1, 2021. Trafalgar, Contiki, Insight Vacations, Costsaver, Brendan Vacations and Luxury Gold’s new policy requires clients to show documented proof of having received two doses of approved Covid-19 vaccines from either Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca or one dose from Johnson & Johnson. The final dose of the vaccine must have been administered a minimum of 15 days prior to their departure and the policy will remain in effect until at least December 31, 2021. 

Clients booked with the brands will need to provide proof of an approved Covid-19 vaccination to their Wellbeing Director, Travel Director, Trip Manager or Traveling Concierge before joining the tour and also upon arrival to their destination. They will additionally need to comply with specific PCR testing requirements imposed by airlines and/or the destinations, which may differ from country to country.

To give guests peace of mind to enjoy their travels, TTC guided tours will be operated in accordance with a rigorous set of enhanced hygiene, physical distancing and robust on-road protocols, adapting to and complying with all requirements by relevant government authorities. TTC’s brands have also collaborated with the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) to align and create global protocols and procedures and all of the  brands have been awarded the WTTC Safe Travels Stamp. As an industry innovation for travel in 2021, TTC has added a dedicated Well-being Director on any Trafalgar, Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold trip with 21 or more guests (excluding Austria and New Zealand). The Well-being Director will support the Travel Director and professionally trained Driver and remain up-to-date on authority and local government guidelines while ensuring all hygiene and physical distancing measures are implemented every step of the way.
