Got this from Tauck today. As big Ken Burns fans, we would definitely be interested if one of these trips went to a park or area we want to see. We'll have to see what develops with it.
Beginning in 2011, Tauck is partnering with award-winning documentary filmmaker Ken Burns and his longtime collaborator Dayton Duncan to bring the stories from their films and books to life in first-hand travel experiences:Ken Burns American Journeys.
Ken and Dayton have received critical acclaim over the last 30 years for exploring American culture and history in highly regarded films including "The Civil War," "Jazz," "The National Parks: Americas Best Idea," and most recently the "10th Inning." They are master American storytellers.
Our newKen Burns American Journeys will initially focus on three areas. Dayton and Ken will help us design new U.S. itineraries inspired by their films, the first of which we will announce later this year. We are also creating special signature events featuring appearances by Ken or Dayton. Finally, on several of our U.S. Tauck World Discovery, Culturious and Tauck Bridges trips, our guests will enjoy a series of short, exclusive films on tour. Besides sharing Ken's and Dayton's perspectives, these films will convey the history, cultural significance and personal stories of the people who shaped the places our guests will visit during their trip.
Tauck has been telling the story of America's history and culture to our guests for 85 years. Adding Ken and Dayton's unique voice to the efforts of our award-winning operations team, we're confident that we will take our guests' experiences to an even higher level.
Already, the excitement and degree of collaboration we feel in this partnership have been nothing short of inspiring. We've really been rolling up our sleeves with Ken and Dayton. They have a great vision of how they can weave stories into our journeys that our guests can then experience first-hand. Together, we will rediscover the many reasons why travelers should "See America First." We're looking forward to sharing much more information in the coming months and hope you'll join us in 2011 on one of these memorable journeys.
