we're hooked on phoenix

Calling all Huckleberry Travelers in Arizona! We’re headed your way, and we’d love to say “hello” in person!

Next week, we’ll be in Phoenix at the Hilton Pointe Tapatio Cliffs Resort, attending a conference with our Uniglobe Family. While we’re there, we’re inviting our clients, friends and family in the area to join us for an informal meet-and-greet.

In case you weren’t already aware of this, Uniglobe is our network of independent travel businesses like ours; we share booking credentials with those other businesses so that we can leverage better pricing and added amenities for our clients.

And, while we’re on the subject of that network, we’ve got an exciting announcement to make — we’re entering into a strategic partnership with another business in the Uniglobe family — HE Travel! HE Travel is the nation’s premier tour operator for escorted gay tours. Of course, HE Travel also plans trips for other communities, but HE Travel’s legacy as a tour operator for the LGBTQ+ community stretched back to the early 1970s, when the company’s founder, Hanns Ebenstein, started leading rafting trips on the Colorado River for groups of gay men.

Since then, HE Travel has expanded its portfolio to include private groups and custom itineraries for LGBTQ+ travelers, as well as allies to the community, regardless of sexual orientation. And because Huckleberry Travel is a proud gay-owned business, this partnership is a no-brainer. So, HE Travel will be at our little cocktail party, as well!

So, if you happen to be in the Phoenix area on June 7, we’d love to introduce you to our friends at HE Travel, and to buy you a drink! Here’s the info:
