Backroads Sees Surging Demand for Active Trips in North America

By John Roberts 
Backroads, a longtime leader in active travel, had added some trips to respond to a rising demand in response for active North American adventures during the shoulder season months of April, May and October. The company also has seen increased booking interest for its new Dolce Tempo program, an easygoing active option for travelers looking for opportunities to get outside and enjoy hiking, biking and multi-adventuring at a more relaxed pace. 
The company's "high season" for travel typically runs from late May through early September, coinciding with warmer weather and school vacations. However, with enthusiasm for travel growing alongside positive vaccine news, Backroads said it is seeing a trend of bookings well into the fall. So, the company has responded to give the people what they want, with a group of exciting trips to popular regions.

"The second half of 2021 is shaping up to be a very good time to travel," said Tom Hale, Backroads Founder and President. "Demand for our Dolce Tempo trips, national park trips and anything in North America is so high that we've scheduled departures into late fall to keep up with the interest. I love traveling in shoulder season because there are often fewer crowds, which gives us even more space to explore actively." 
One source of the increased demand is Backroads' popular new Dolce Tempo trips, which open up the world of active travel to a whole new group of people. Featuring dedicated electric-bike adventures and relaxed routes on walking and multi-adventure tours, these new trips have been popular with travelers who want to enjoy a taste of the active experience along with plenty of flexibility to spend time lounging at luxurious hotels, discovering fascinating culture and more.  
With many people able to reconnect with the notion of an active lifestyle during the past year, it's no surprise that travelers are interested in trying something like an awesome biking or hiking adventure. 
In addition to the new extended travel season departures, Backroads offers a wide range of programs that are ideal for all kinds of travelers. I've enjoyed the company's multi-sport adventure in New Zealand and the biking adventure on a Danube river cruise through Backroads' partnership with AmaWaterways 
The company has truly enjoyable experiences good for solo travelers, couple, groups, families and to suit all kinds of fitness levels. In short, you can probably find any kind of trip that you might desire and to most parts of the world.
