The Travel Committee organizes travel tours for UMRA members that are educational and provide an opportunity to meet new members and socialize. We try to plan two tours a year, based on the results of the 2019 member trip survey and new requests.
We are currently working with SmarTours, a not-for-profit travel company, which offers private group tours that include in the cost: informative lectures; special “behind the scenes experiences; enrichment activities; cultural events and performances; a group leader through the tour handling all the logistics; 24-hour assistance for medical and other medical emergencies.
With the ability to travel again, we have planned the following tours:
- Along the Douro: Portugal's Best-Kept Secrets: May 4–14, 2022
- Treasurers of Portugal: September 19–29, 2022
- Majestic Morocco: November 1–12, 2022
- Spectacular Greece with Island Cruise: May 6 –16, 2023
- Glacier National Park tour on the Empire Builder: July 2023
Contact me if you are interested in tours, or if you have a tour you would like us to consider. We are in the process of planning tours for 2023 and 2024.
We look forward to exploring the world together!
