The Travel Corporations' (TTC) guided tour brands have announced a Covid-19 vaccination requirement for all adult guests, effective as of September 1, 2021. Trafalgar, Contiki, Insight Vacations, Costsaver, Brendan Vacations and Luxury Gold's new policy requires clients to show documented proof of having received two doses of approved Covid-19 vaccines from either Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca or one dose from Johnson & Johnson.

"Our new requirement will ensure guests greater peace...

Michelle Bergey travels for food. And she always seeks the help of in-the-know locals. "Food tours are the best way to travel," she says. "Honestly, every time I travel, I do a food tour." So it's natural that she co-owns a food tour business called Lost Plate with her brother and sister-in-law. Brian Bergey and Ruixi Hu run the tours in China, where they live, and in Cambodia. Michelle leads the Portland tours. Many people ask Bergey why visitors need a guide to check out restaurants. She tells them a tour goes beyond the food itself. "You're also getting information about the city, about the restaurants and owners," she says. "You're even meeting some of the owners." Lost Plate opened for business in 2018. By 2019 Bergey offered three different Portland tours. Due to COVID, Lost Plate is currently offering only one Portland tour — Food Carts, Pods and Patios — which Bergey leads herself. The 2.5-hour tour visits six food carts ...

Lake Tahoe is a unique travel destination because summers and winters equally and reliably host a playful array of outdoor recreation. With summer temperatures averaging 70-80 degrees, cold lake waters rejuvenate nature-goers after days spent hiking, cycling or paddling. On the winter front, temperatures in the Tahoe Basin and surrounding mountains drop to the '30s-'40s, and steady precipitation transforms the landscape into a snowglobe terrain park. Rightfully so, these seasons draw crowds ready to take advantage of Tahoe's top seasons to be outside.  Though more of a gamble weather-wise, fall and spring offer their own surprise delights; spring flowers, fall colors, reduced prices, fewer crowds and festive community events reward the traveler willing to risk less reliable weather during the transitional seasons.
