AAA Travel is proud to partner with G Adventures, a pioneer of community tourism, to offer AAA members exclusive access to G Adventures’ portfolio of small-group adventures spanning more than 100 countries. This collaboration will bring G Adventures’ unique brand of community-centered travel, with more than 1,000 small-group trips worldwide, to AAA’s 65+ million members across North America. G Adventures will also work with AAA travel advisors to provide exclusive agent education, support, and service.

“Partnering with G Adventures means aligning with a global leader in responsible travel, an organization that not only delivers unforgettable experiences but also creates a lasting impact within the communities AAA members visit,” said Stacey Barber, Vice President of AAA Travel. “It’s travel with purpose, powered by passion and integrity, while making dreams come true for our members.”

“We are excited to bring this product to Western and Central New York where adventure travel is a growing trend,” explained Josie Nicotra, Director of Travel at AAA Western and Central New York. “AAA booking data clearly shows that local travelers enjoy the benefits of small group travel, and our travel advisors look forward to the opportunity to share these services with their clients.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with AAA Travel to introduce their members to the G Adventures’ expansive collection of life-changing travel experiences,” said Steven Lima, G Adventures Vice President of Growth for USA and Latin America. “AAA is one of the most trusted brands in North America, and we are honored that they have chosen to align themselves with G Adventures, a company founded on the belief that travel not only connects us, but also can be one of the most powerful forces for positive change in our world.”

In addition, an ongoing dedicated community tourism fund has been established in partnership with Planeterra, G Adventures’ non-profit partner, that will further boost the impact that AAA member bookings will have on local communities. The first project that will benefit is the Asociación de Desarrollo Integral de San Luis (ADISL), a Costa Rican locally managed cooperative organization that runs much of the region’s resources while protecting and maintaining traditional culture and agricultural practices. G Adventures will make a monetary contribution to the project for each AAA-booked traveler who is booked on itineraries that visit this project.

G Adventures was selected as AAA Travel’s preferred adventure travel partner after a comprehensive evaluation process that assessed factors including product quality, safety standards, customer service excellence, and alignment with AAA’s member-focused values. The partnership will enhance AAA Travel’s ability to serve the growing demand for adventure and experiential travel among its membership.
