Explore launches 2016/17 brochure with five new Family Adventures

Explore has unveiled five new trips for its 2016/17 Family Adventures collection.

New trips include itineraries to Slovakia, Canada, USA as well as Ecuador and the Galapagos, providing more choice for families in search of an adventure of a lifetime.

The operator's trade sales manager, Philippa Baines, said: ?With increasingly busy school and work schedules, it?s more important than ever for families to spend quality time together on holiday. With 59 different family trips offering the chance to skate along the frozen Ottawa?s Rideau Canal; spot toucans and monkeys in the Ecuadorian rainforest and visit the Ben and Jerry?s Ice Cream factory in the USA, we?re confident that the latest collection of Family Adventures includes something for every family.

"What?s more, our family adventures only operate in the school holidays and Explore can guarantee that agents won?t be undercut by the web or call centre.?
