Travel the World and its luxury travel partner Tauck have announced the appointment of the first Tauck ambassador for the Australian market, Ita Buttrose AO, OBE. An Australian icon, Ita is a journalist, author and businesswoman who is greatly admired for her stellar career, her wit and charm and her tireless efforts for charities such as Alzheimer’s Australia, of which she is the National President.

Ita says of her new role: “I am excited to be on board as Tauck’s ambassador. Travel is one of my great passions and it’s been a joy getting to know fellow Australians who are long-time ‘Tauckers.’

Established in 1925, Tauck is a world leader in upscale, escorted travel. Family owned and operated, Tauck offers guided all inclusive land journeys, cruises and family travel adventures in 65 countries and all seven continents. The company showcases the “must-see” attractions in each destination, enhancing guests’ experience with in-depth commentary and insights that add perspective and understanding. Tauck complements visits to must-see sites with insider access to “off the beaten path” locations that deliver authentic cultural experiences and are either unavailable or unknown to most travellers. Tauck travellers can be assured that virtually everything is included in their upfront prices, with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons. Tauck works closely with worldwide partners to ensure that travellers receive the best value in the upfront prices offered.

Tauck is launching a brochure dedicated to Australians for travel in 2013.

As Ita sums it up: “Tauck has a special way of opening doors to unique experiences and inspiring moments that will make your holiday truly unforgettable. What more could a sophisticated traveller ask for?”.   I agree, John Pond.
