Travel USA’s latest USA journey, Soundtracks of the South has become one of the company’s most requested themed itineraries.
Company founder Andrew Gay says it continues to be a standout choice for Kiwi travellers seeking a taste of America’s musical heartland, ‘following the story of the Deep South through Nashville, Muscle Shoals, Clarksdale and Memphis’.
The self-drive, self-explore trip has been created for travellers who want to experience the music, culture and landscapes of the Southern states at their own pace, while still benefiting from a structured and bookable framework of highlights, he adds.
The itinerary traces the evolution of American music from country and soul through to blues and rock’n’roll, while connecting iconic venues with authentic, on-the ground experiences.
Key inclusions feature the Country Music Hall of Fame, RCA Studio B, Grand Ole Opry with backstage tour, Jack Daniel’s Distillery, Sun Studio, a Mississippi River dinner cruise, Beale Street, and the Ultimate VIP Graceland Elvis Experience.
. . . Air Connections
Gay says the tour aligns seamlessly with Star Alliance airline partners Air New Zealand and United Airlines, with convenient one-stop connections into Nashville or Memphis via key gateway cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Houston. Clients can also take the tour in reverse, offering flexibility in routing and travel style to suit a wide range of client needs, he adds. The itinerary is supported by marketing assets and adaptable content for distribution across agency channels and can be co-branded (e-mail andrew@travelusa.co.nz). See the full itinerary HERE.
