The North American travel company introduces a new era of luxury rooted in culture, sustainability, and authentic connection.
-- As luxury travel rebounds worldwide, GHardy Tours is redefining what “exclusive” means for 2025. The company’s newest collection of luxury travel itineraries blends five-star comfort with depth, access, and storytelling—reflecting a broader industry shift toward meaningful experiences.
“Luxury has shifted,” says Kathleen Hardy, President of GHardy Tours. “Our clients still want comfort, but they also want to understand the world they’re entering. They’re trading spectacle for significance.”
According to Grand View Research, the global luxury travel market is projected to grow at an 8.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2025 to 2030, driven by demand for more personalized and experience-based travel. GHardy Tours has embraced that shift across its newest lineup spanning four continents:
- Morocco: The Art of Adventure – Desert camps, private riads, and design-forward travel through Marrakech, Fes, and the Atlas Mountains.
- Italy Reimagined – Behind-the-scenes access to private estates, vineyards, and museums closed to the public.
- Costa Rica in Comfort – Boutique ecolodges and nature-led experiences that redefine adventure travel.
- Portugal & Beyond – Culinary immersion, heritage architecture, and ocean-view properties that showcase Europe’s quiet-luxury movement.
Each journey is fully customizable and led by expert guides chosen for their deep local knowledge. The programs reflect GHardy’s forty-year heritage in education-based travel, refined through decades of partnerships with schools, universities, and cultural institutions.
The company’s expansion into luxury touring builds on its legacy as North America’s most established educational travel specialist. “We’ve spent decades creating transformative experiences for students and teachers,” Hardy adds. “Applying that same depth of insight to adult travel feels like a natural evolution.”
Melina Hardy, VP of Sales, notes that inquiries for multigenerational and family luxury travel have also increased sharply: “Clients want to travel together again, but with purpose. They’re choosing destinations that offer beauty and meaning in equal measure.”
With travelers demanding more meaning from their trips, GHardy Tours is positioning itself at the intersection of learning and leisure, crafting itineraries that promise both indulgence and understanding. High-resolution images and interview opportunities are available upon request.
