Hi Travel Junkies,

Today we are thrilled to announce the launch of 3 more 10xTravel Trips!

We will be hosting trips to Jordan, South Africa, and Turkey in the summer and early fall of 2022. Reservations open on Thursday, May 27th at 2pm EST right here on the 10xTravel website.

What Are 10xTravel Trips?

10xTravel Trips are curated itinerareies to popular international destinations that are exclusively available to 10xT Readers.

Each trip is 7-9 days long, not including travel time, and can accommodate approximately 10-20 people. All travelers must be 18 and older.

One flat price covers almost everything but the airfare (which we hope you’ll get with points anyway). Each trip includes accommodations, ground transportation, daily activities, a local guide, a handful of meals, and more.

All you have to do is show up at the airport and we will take care of the rest.

Included accommodations are two travelers per room with private bathrooms, but you may also request your own room if you like (small additional charge may apply). You can also choose your roommates if you happen to be traveling with friends.

While I would have loved to build these itineraries around hotels that can be booked with points, it just wasn’t realistic given the length of the trip and the desired locations. Award stays are cool, but not when they require you to alter an otherwise great travel itinerary.

These trips are made possible thanks to our partnership with TrovaTrip, who will be handling the reservations and logistics for each trip.

We launched our first 10xTravel trips in November of last year and were amazed by how quickly spots filled up.

Pricing

The pricing for each itinerary can be found below:

  • Jordan – $2,295 ($2,195 early bird price)
  • South Africa – $2,895 ($2,795 early bird price)
  • Turkey – $2,195 ($2,095 early bird price)

The early bird price applies to the first 8-10 reservations made for each itinerary.

Booking Policies

A down payment of 25% of the price of the trip is required at booking. This down payment is refundable until your spot is confirmed, at which point the payment becomes non-refundable. Your spot will be confirmed as soon as the trip hits the minimum number of people required for the trip to occur.

The remaining balance will be charged 60 days prior to trip departure. If you book within 60 days of departure the entire amount will be charged upon booking.

All payments become 100% non refundable within 60 days of departure.

Who is TrovaTrip?

TrovaTrip is a travel platform based in Portland, Oregon and they help put together trips for communities like 10xTravel. They are experts at what they do, having organized dozens of trips similar to the ones being offered to 10xT Readers.

TrovaTrip will be handling the “back end” aspects of the trips including booking, payment processing, cancellation, customer service, pre-trip communications, etc.

So it’s not as if you are venmoing money to your friend for your portion of the trip and hoping they don’t lose it. You can relax knowing that everything is being handled by professionals.

When Can I Book?

We will be accepting reservations for all 3 trips beginning on Thursday, May 27th, at 2pm EST on the 10xTravel Trips page.

Reservations are first come, first served and can be made by visiting the booking page of the trip you wish to take (which will be made available when reservations open for booking).

If a trip sells out you can join the waitlist to be notified if a spot opens.

We aren’t sure how quickly these trips will sell out, but we can tell you that our last round of trips sold much more quickly than anyone anticipated.

The only way you can guarantee your spot is to complete your reservation and make your down payment before the trip sells out. And of course you will save $100 on the itinerary if you are one of the first 8-10 people to do so for a particular trip.

Bottom Line

We are thrilled to be able to offer these trips exclusive to our readers and can’t wait to travel together in 2022!

Hope to see you in Jordan, South Africa, or Turkey!

Happy Travels,

Bryce
