ENCOURAGED by an 80 per cent growth in demand for South America last year and the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup, Trafalgar expects South America’s star to continue rising as a new destination for Asia travellers.
The company has just released its new 2014 South America brochure containing 17 itineraries and eight optional extensions.
“With an increase in desire for new aspirational destinations, South America is, without a doubt, the new frontier for Asians,” said Nicholas Lim, regional director of Trafalgar Asia. “We further anticipate another surge in volume, especially with the 2014 FIFA World Cup round the corner in Brazil.”
“We are finding that savvy individuals, which includes senior executives and well-travelled seniors are taking our South America trips, especially popular itineraries like Glimpse of South America which visits the cities of Rio De Janeiro, Iguassu Falls and Buenos Aires.
“Additionally, adventurous types also enjoy our Highlights of Peru itinerary that takes guests to Machu Picchu, Cusco and the Sacred Valley. Football fans could also do a pre- or post-tournament trip to these surrounding destinations to maximise their time in the region.”
