Xanterra Fall Travel Sale Offers Discounts to U.S. National Parks and Windstar Cruises In a move to capitalize on the post-summer lull, Xanterra Travel Collection has launched a fall travel sale featuring discounts on destinations from the Grand Canyon to the Mediterranean. The sale, which began October 17, offers travelers a chance to explore some of the world's most iconic national parks and scenic destinations at reduced rates. According to Michael Goldstein, contributor to Forbes, "Fall is a great time to travel to the U.S. National Parks and other scenic destinations as the summer crowds have gone back to school or work." Xanterra, which has been providing travel experiences for nearly 150 years, operates lodges in Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Glacier, and Rocky Mountain National Parks, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, and Death Valley. The sale includes packages starting at $99 per person per night at the Grand Canyon's El Tovar Hotel. "We're excited to offer our guests a chance to experience the tranquility of the South Rim during the fall season," said a Xanterra spokesperson. "Cooler temperatures make it an ideal time to explore the canyon's majestic walls, which are lit by a softer golden light." Xanterra's operations in the U.S. National Parks have been praised for their commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. The company has implemented various initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint, including energy-efficient lighting and water conservation measures. The sale also extends to Windstar Cruises, which offers sailing vacations to destinations such as the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and Alaska. "We're thrilled to partner with Xanterra on this exciting offer," said a Windstar spokesperson.
