Americans are addicted to travel clubs: what are they and which ones to subscribe to in order to travel cheaply and interestingly

Although many reputable clubs ask for outrageous deposits, many tourist clubs open their doors to everyone and sometimes ask for just a nominal fee. Read more about where you can buy a membership and enjoy all the delights of travel, told the publication Travel and Leisure.

Andria Gutierrez is the Head of Marketing in Lake Tahoe, California. She loves to travel, but doesn't like to waste time searching for vacation information.

“When I was younger, I planned all my trips myself,” she says. “But now that I have a business, there is no longer so much free time.”

That's why she recently joined Club (from $24 per month) from Allcall, which develops personalized routes for members and makes exclusive offers. She has already made three trips with Allcall, including ski trips to several states, and vacations in Mexico.

“The team is incredibly helpful and responsive,” Gutierrez said. “They make the planning process very efficient.”

“Health has become a top concern for our members,” said Melissa Biggs Bradley, Founder Indagare (from $395 per year), which plans and books trips for its members. “We have a ton of information about COVID-19 protocols and the team takes care to understand them, even if they are constantly changing.”

There are other factors as well.

“I have been traveling on my own for decades,” said Susie Kellems Dominic, an artist based in New York. Just a rumor about the possibility of visiting Modena (Italy) with renowned chef Massimo Bottura from Osteria Francescana was enough to convince her to join the prior (from $249 per year) is a company that started operations in 2019.

“They have an unusual offer,” says Dominik. “It's an intellectual and emotional journey. They brought together a group of very interesting people.”

This accessibility attracts travelers who do not usually consider themselves to be the kind of people who join organizations. According to one industry survey, about half of all millennials are now considering joining a travel club of some sort, ahead of Gen Xers and Baby Boomers.

Even Exclusive Resorts, where travel costs a minimum of $1395 per day, and that's on top of the cost of membership, is getting more and more attention from young people.

So which of these clubs is right for you? It all depends on what you are looking for and how much you are willing to invest.

For upscale private living

The Exclusive Resorts portfolio includes nearly 400 holiday homes, as well as members-only cruises and expeditions. inspiration (from $600 per month) offers villas in 150 locations; members can also go on cruises organized by the company. More affordable option Koala (from $99 per year), which allows travelers to book single trips to the US, the Caribbean and Mexico.

For a community of like-minded people

The Camino (from $150 per year) started out as a small group travel operator focused on Latin America, but recently introduced the El Camino Travel Clubhouse platform, which allows you to participate in virtual events and chat about upcoming trips. Manifest (from $2500 per year), which debuted last August, has chapters in cities across the United States.

For pleasant trips

New wellness website and app MyLifeWell (from $10 per month) launched last year with virtual fitness classes and a set of sports equipment. It now connects subscribers with travel consultants who specialize in booking wellness retreats at Canyon Ranch and Six Senses hotels.

For those who are afraid to pay a lot

The high cost of clubs has historically been a barrier to registration. But this spring, Prior dropped its price from $2500 a year to $249 to bring in a more diverse group of adventurers.

“I don’t want the club to weed out people,” founder David Pryor explained.
