Global Village Travels Inc Information

Global Village Travels® was born in 1996 from our profound desire to share our unique travel experiences with others. The inspiration for our name comes from Marshall McLuhan's 1962 book, The Gutenberg Galaxy, in which he wrote, "The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of the global village. This is probably the first time these differing concepts of 'global' and 'village' were comfortably merged. We, here at Global Village Travels®, envision the world as a "tossed salad", each flavor to be savored, rather than a "melting pot". We believe that no one has to give up his or her cultural identity. Cultural differences are to be lived with and enjoyed. Travel encourages the appreciation of human diversity, interdependence and broadens the mind. We will help you discover the highways and byways of the globe. Whether it is climbing the Great Wall of China, at dawn, watching millions of variegated flamingos descending on Lake Nakuru, Kenya, at dusk or enjoying the "Culture of the Vine" in California's Napa and Sonoma Valleys; whether you are traveling alone or with family and friends, the extensive travel experiences of our professional vacation planners make us uniquely qualified to help you bring your vacation plans to life.
