Value-Minded Families Hot for Adventure Travel Should Cool Their Heels in America’s National Parks
Leading Small Group Tour Operator Austin-Lehman Adventures Offers Top Five Time and Money Saving Family Adventures for This Summer.
Billings, MT, January 31, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Think national parks this summer and give extra thought to packaged, all-inclusive, small group family tours that can save money, planning and logistics time and maximize sightseeing opportunities and experiences.
Austin-Lehman Adventures, the gurus of family adventure travel, remind that national parks address both value and the stay-closer-to-home mantras of today’s new economy.
“Now’s the time to start planning, early interest in our U.S. programs has been surprisingly strong,” says Dan Austin, ALA’s co-founder and director, who suggests his company’s top five domestic national park vacation destinations for families looking to make the most of their vacation dollar.
Austin also points out that his company was just singled out as one of the top 13 outfitters in the world in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s annual “Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth” issue which hit newsstands this month.
