American Express Travel announces a collection
of exclusive itineraries designed to give travelers a true insider
experience. Each trip is created by expert travel agents and inspired by
tastemakers in the culinary, health & wellness, fashion & style and arts
& culture categories. The itineraries are part of “Insider Escapes
presented by American
Express Travel,” a new original video series and editorial program
in partnership with Yahoo! Travel and produced by Yahoo! Studios, that
provides consumers with insider recommendations and tips via video
interviews from their favorite influencers including Deepak and Gotham
Chopra, Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan, Tom Colicchio and Lisa Ling.
Beginning August 6, the program will launch with Deepak and Gotham
Chopra’s itineraries, followed by two new “Insider Escapes” itineraries
each week for four consecutive weeks.
"Travelers want authentic experiences that reflect their personal
interests and bring them to life in exciting ways,” said David Patron,
Vice President of American Express Travel. "Insider Escapes offers our
customers a way to explore their favorite destinations through the eyes
of the influential world travelers that inspire them.”
Each itinerary offers travelers a one-of-a-kind experience, whether it’s
meditating at a 16th century temple in New Delhi or savoring the
Southern flavors in the culinary markets of Charleston. A host of
exciting adventures are available through “Insider Escapes,” including:
-
Health & Wellness – Deepak and Gotham Chopra’s New Delhi and Sedona
-
Fashion & Style – Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan’s Tokyo and San
Francisco
-
Food & Wine – Tom Colicchio’s Singapore and Charleston
