Beyond Green has launched four new itineraries as part of its “Plan Your Trip” program, which provides custom, turnkey booking and facilitation services for travelers seeking vacations that support sustainable tourism. The all-inclusive trips have been designed in partnership with Nomadic Expeditions and will include Mongolia, Bhutan, Nepal and India.
As a provider of customized travel services to the aforementioned destinations, Nomadic Expeditions will enable travelers to book both pre-designed itineraries and tailor-made expeditions incorporating Beyond Green member properties and other hotels on Beyond Green’s itinerary booking platform.
The new travel experiences can be booked on the “Plan Your Trip” online platform and include:
