Travel the World and its luxury travel partner Tauck are delighted to announce the appointment of the first-ever Tauck ambassador for the Australian market, Ita Buttrose AO, OBE. An Australian icon, Ita is a journalist, author and businesswoman who is greatly admired for her stellar career, her wit and charm and her tireless efforts for charities such as Alzheimer’s Australia, of which she is the National President.

Says Ita of her new role: “I am excited to be on board as Tauck’s ambassador. Travel is one of my great passions and it’s been a joy getting to know fellow Australians who are long-time ’Tauckers.’ These fellow intrepid travellers are equally passionate about exploring the world and their loyalty to Tauck is indeed rare in the highly competitive travel industry. There are good reasons they trust Tauck with their travel dreams... they know through first-hand experience that Tauck not only delivers great value, but superior quality, personal service and insider access on over 100 tours and cruises worldwide.”

Established in 1925, Tauck is a world-leader in upscale, escorted travel. Family-owned and operated, Tauck offers guided all-inclusive land journeys, cruises and family travel adventures in 65 countries and all seven continents.  The company showcases the “must-see” attractions in each destination, enhancing guests’ experience with in-depth commentary and insights that add perspective and understanding.  Tauck complements visits to must-see sites with insider access to “off-the-beaten-path” locations that deliver authentic cultural experiences and are either unavailable or unknown to most travellers. Tauck travellers can be assured that virtually everything is included in their upfront prices, with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons. Tauck works closely with worldwide partners to ensure that travellers receive the best value in the upfront prices offered. 

Tauck and Travel the World have been providing Australians with these enriching experiences around the world for the past 25 years. To celebrate Ita’s new role as ambassador, Tauck is launching a brochure dedicated to Australian travellers for travel in 2013. There is also a unique “Time on Tauck” offer of two complimentary nights’ accommodation before or after each 2013 tour or cruise booked by 28 December 2012.

As Ita sums it up: “Tauck has a special way of opening doors to unique experiences and inspiring
moments that will make your holiday truly unforgettable. What more could a sophisticated traveller ask for?”
