At Grand Circle, we strongly believe that word of mouth is our best advertisement. And it works. Just ask the more than 500 Group Leaders who have chosen a Grand Circle vacation for their travelers this year—and traveled FREE!

While many are retired, Grand Circle Group Leaders come from all walks of life. Some find their travelers in their civic or religious groups and others in alumni or business associations. Some advertise. And some simply want to take a special trip with friends and family. But they all love sharing their joy of travel. And all our Group Leaders appreciate the benefits their travelers receive with Grand Circle:

• We Understand Our Travelers—We specialize in serving mature travelers.
• Better Pacing for More Discovery—Our trips are leisurely paced and geared toward unique cultural discovery and interaction, so you and your travelers will really get to know each destination.
• Unsurpassed Value—As a Group Leader, you can feel comfortable knowing your fellow travelers are getting the most for their money.
• You’re Free to Enjoy, Too!— As all our trips are led by experienced, resident Program Directors, you'll be able to relax and enjoy your trip just like your fellow travelers.

Please note: Group Leader savings cannot be combined with our Vacation Ambassador Referral Program.

*Free trip is based upon average amount paid per person, including the tour price, extensions, and air add-ons. Excludes taxes, port charges, Travel Protection Plan, Business Class upgrades, Good Buy discounts, and applied Vacation Ambassador credits.

Registration for organizing 'Floriade 2022' opens

As of this week, the Netherlands Horticultural Council (NTR) has opened the registration for the organizing of the 2022 edition of the Floriade, the World Horticultural Expo that is held only every ten years.

A number of different regions, such as Noord-Holland Noord, Boskoop and the city of Almere, have already indicated their desire to organize the 2022 Floriade. They usually do so by providing the organizing council with a general description of their vision for the Floriade project.

Once the deadline is up, the event’s selection commission will choose a maximum of five potential candidates out of all the proposals that have been submitted. They will subsequently be asked to produce a more fully detailed project plan for the vast floriculture expo.

The Netherlands Horticultural Council would like to be able to announce the new organizers of the 2022 Floriade sometime in October, before the closing of the 2012 edition of the horticultural event.

That upcoming Floriade 2012 will be held in the Dutch city of Venlo, in the southernmost province of Limburg. The event revolves around the concept of ‘Green Emotions’ and will feature five large themed areas, on a site spanning roughly 66 hectares.
