Dear {{contact.first_name}}

Greetings from Atlanta! I just returned from a wonderful week at our family home in the beautiful Low Country of South Carolina where I completely unplugged. Can you believe that I didn't open my computer once?

There's something magical about slowing down and soaking in those coastal sunsets that reminds me why we're so passionate about helping you discover the world's most enchanting destinations.

In this month's newsletter, we're excited to share some incredible specials and promotions from our trusted partners from Turkey, Morocco and the Mediterranean, to India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka. You'll also discover why Porto has been named one of the world's happiest places, learn about amazing wildlife adventures in India, and explore the romantic side of Sri Lanka. And don't miss our features on Malta's diverse Mediterranean offerings and the hidden gems of eastern Turkey.

As we look ahead to fall, we're gearing up for an exciting season of industry events to connect with partners and share the latest destination insights. You'll find us at TFest, the APTA Global Forum and USTOA. Like always, we're eager to discuss how our emerging destinations can create unforgettable experiences for your clients.

Whether you're dreaming of ancient souks in Marrakech, tiger safaris in India, or those legendary Porto sunsets, we're here to help make those dreams a reality.

Happy Selling!

Jane Behrend, for Jenna, Ana and Paula
