Spend New Year's this year on an unforgettable outdoor adventure. Instead of heading to the crowds in New York or Tahoe, try something different and spend this New Year’s Eve enjoying the fireworks from a cruise ship, hiking the peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro, or exploring the vast deserts of Egypt. Whatever ecotourism adventure you choose, the following New Year's trips are sure to create an unforgettable start to 2012.
With the cost of lift tickets rising each year at popular North America ski resorts and crowds continuing to grow, a ski or snowboard vacation can include its fair share of headaches. Look off the beaten path for some unique ski resorts and take advantage of fewer crowds in these quaint mountain towns.
If you’re unsure of what to buy your loved ones this holiday season Global Basecamps has the perfect solution. Give the gift of travel and memories that will last a lifetime! Global Basecamps will match the amount of all gift certificates up to $250! The offer expires December 31, 2011.
Give your family a gift they will never forget by contributing to their travel fund. Whether they are hoping to spend a week on a Tanzania safari or are planning a Round-the-world (RTW) trip you can help them reach their travel dreams. When contemplating if you should buy your brother another video game for Christmas or your father another jacket, consider the environmental cost of everything produced. As the earth’s resources are being depleted, beautiful destinations around the world are being destroyed. Instead of buying things you don’t need this year, give the gift of travel.
All of Global Basecamps’ itineraries integrate environmental and socially responsible practices and our lodges share our commitment to preserving the environment and supporting the local communities we visit.
Our well traveled intern, Adrienne, has written another great blog for us about her VolunTourism trip to Peru.

Snorkelers and divers will find Isola Bella's clear waters home to moray eels, starfish, sea horses, octopus, stonefish and several other small, colorful sea creatures.
