Dear Traveler,<br />
Travel is all about connection. And as travelers<br />
ourselves, we get how important moments of<br />
connection are. It’s what inspires every small<br />
group journey we create.<br />
These tours aren't about checklists. They're<br />
about sharing stories with locals, lingering<br />
longer at the table, and exploring beyond<br />
the guidebook.<br />
Smaller groups are the key to connection —<br />
to the people, culture, and unexpected<br />
moments that turn into lifelong memories.<br />
I recently felt that deeper connection<br />
firsthand, joining our small group journeys<br />
through Finland, Türkiye, and Tanzania.<br />
This year, we’re going even further. More<br />
journeys. Mor<a title="2026-2027-Marriott-Explorations-ZMAG_withlinks page 1" href="https://secure.viewer.zmags.com/publication/5aaeab6c?page=1"> SMALL GROUP EXPLORATIONS 2026 </a>
