The program is designed to bring together Chamber Members, as well as their family and friends, to explore the world in a safe, social, and well-organized environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The featured travel opportunity includes an 8-day guided tour of Italy, visiting iconic destinations such as Venice, Pisa, Florence, Assisi, and Rome, with an optional extension to the Amalfi Coast. The trip is currently planned for <strong>October 2026<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Chamber-run, anyone can join our group of travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe love the idea that people from Muskoka-Parry Sound to Orillia and on to Barrie are travelling together as a great travel club,\u201d said Norah Fountain, Executive Director of the Muskoka Lakes Chamber of Commerce. Both she and Jaden Hollingshead, Executive Director of the Bracebridge Chamber, have experienced travelling with Indus personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hollingshead added, \u201cWe are seeing more and more people looking for a safe and reliable way to travel, and Indus Travel is a highly reputable company that provides that confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is an opportunity to join a group that travels on an annual basis,\u201d said Paul Markle, President and CEO of the Barrie Chamber. \u201cWe see this as the beginning of a long-term travel community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAllan Lafontaine, Executive Director of the Orillia &amp; District Chamber, noted, \u201cOther Chambers run this program successfully, and what we see is that the group that travels together often becomes a close-knit community: they even help decide where to go next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collaborative nature of this travel group is a key strength, bringing together participants from across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The April 30 webinar will give full details on the itinerary, pricing, and travel experience, while also giving participants a chance to ask questions and connect with fellow travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chambers\u2019 shared goal is to <strong>build a sustainable, annual travel group<\/strong>, creating both memorable experiences and stronger regional connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s Go!
