WILDLAND ADVENTURES OFFERS
COSTA RICA TRAVEL PLANNER
April 10, 2003
Seattle, WA > Wildland Adventures, a
Seattle-based adventure travel company
specializing in authentic worldwide explorations
for active and inquisitive travelers,
announces its new Costa
Rica Travel Planner.
The 24-page catalog features a wide range
of specialized, year-round travel opportunities
including lodge-based wildlife explorations,
family adventures, nature honeymoons,
small ship voyages and individual custom
trip planning.
Wildland Adventures President, Kurt Kutay,
once worked for the Costa Rican National
Park Service and was a founding member
of The International Ecotourism Society.
The company was a pioneer in offering
specialized natural history programs in
Costa Rica and is highly recommended by
leading guide book publishers and travel
writers including Conde Nast, Fodors,
National Geographic Adventure and others.
“As ecotourism evolves in Costa Rica,”
notes regional expert, Kurt Kutay, “we
continue to improve our itineraries and
refine our style of travel for more discriminating
travelers. We are constantly seeking out
new lodges, private nature reserves, better
transportation opportunities and premier
naturalist guides, we maximize opportunities
for our travelers to see wildlife, get
to know ‘Tico’ culture, and
relax in luxuriant tropical nature.”
Travel agents and active travelers will
appreciate the detailed itineraries, photographs,
guide profiles, hotel descriptions, and
other useful trip planning information
in the Travel Planner and on their website
including a special section “Travel
Tips for Custom Trips”. All inclusive
itineraries for individuals, families
and groups range from 7-12 days beginning
at $1498 land cost per person with many
optional add-ons.
###
Since its inception in 1986, ecotourism
has been the cornerstone of Wildland Adventures’
trips, offering cultural and natural history
explorations as a means to protect natural
environments, preserve cultural heritage
and bring direct economic benefits to
local communities through projects such
as the company’s non-profit Travelers
Conservation Trust. Always practicing
what it preaches, Wildland Adventures
keeps its trips to very small groups in
order to limit any impact on the environment.
Owner Kurt Kutay is a founding member
of the Board of Directors of The Ecotourism
Society and the International Galapagos
Tour Operators Association. The company
is also a member of the Center for Responsible
Tourism, a worldwide network of individuals
and organizations working for more socially
and environmentally responsible tourism
and supports the work of Cultural Survival,
which serves to inform the general public
and policy makers about self-determination
of tribal people and ethnic minorities.
Other destinations offered by Wildland
Adventures include Costa Rica, Belize,
the Andes and the Amazon, Patagonia, Alaska,
British Columbia, Africa, New Zealand
and more. For reservations or more information
