WELCOME TO AMERICA!

Dear Valued Customer,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for selecting one of ATI’s touring experiences. When you booked the tour you are on today, you may not have been aware that ATI was the tour operator. It is likely that you booked this tour through one of our many partners worldwide, an ATI client who entrusts us to take care of you – their valued customers.

When ATI was founded in 1977, there were no escorted or pre-planned tours taking visitors from all over the world to some of the most popular destinations in the USA. For instance, Bryce Canyon, which is now world renowned and treasured for its stunning geological formations, was not on the minds of many travelers 40 years ago. We are very proud to have helped raise the awareness of the incredible diversity of destinations across the USA and Canada by featuring them in our escorted and DriveAmerica touring programs.

In the pages that follow, you will find information on a wide array of exciting destinations across the USA and Canada, some are already quite well known and others are more off the beaten path. We hope that the pages ahead will inspire your next trip to North America. Most of all, we hope that you have an enjoyable and memorable journey ahead!

Thanks for choosing to discover America with ATI,

Noel and Nick ATI Leadership

The hit Tony Award musical COME FROM AWAY is based on the true story of how Newfoundlanders welcomed the world. A story of compassion, generosity, resilience and humour defines the people of Newfoundland

in a way that is all embracing. No small wonder the experiences here are unique and the encounters can be life changing.

National Geographic Traveler listed Newfoundland and Labrador’s Avalon Peninsula as the “Number 1 Top Coastal Destination in the World.” New York Times listed 10 top reasons to “love” Newfoundland and Labrador. Time to put this on YOUR list too!

That’s because of the pristine interface between land and sea remains natural and unspoiled, boosting 500 years of fishing balanced with the innovation of today’s ingenuity. Walk the old streets of St. John’s circled by the celebrated East Coast Trail overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Signal Hill National Historic Site. Welcome the sunrise at Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Park where you can take a selfie standing on the most eastern point of all of North America. Enjoy picturesque villages, lighthouses, pebble beaches and gourmet picnics embraced with epic vistas. Let the thriving cultural, cuisine, arts and music offerings fill your evening.

Be assured that the spectacle is big. Around here you’ll find humpback whales in their thousands, seabirds in the millions, and icebergs that are 10,000 year-old floating remnants of glaciers. Let the fresh air consume you as hundreds of colorful villages along thousands of miles of seacoast welcome you. Take the path. It starts out as almost familiar, and ends up full of glorious wonderment!

ONE TRAIL LEADS TO A MILLION MEMORIES AND WELLNESSThe recent worldwide pandemic gave us an opportunity to pause, look back, and count our blessings. We were reminded of what’s truly important in life. It comes down to moments we share with loved ones. We learned that traveling freely can never be taken for granted. We learned how precious it is to just be with our loved ones in the same space. Now you are traveling and just picked up this copy of Where Next magazine. Isn’t it wonderful to be able to travel again?

Located less than 50km (30 miles) from the cool pines of Flagstaff, nearly 190km (120 miles) from the bustling desert city of Phoenix, and a little over 160km (100 miles) from the Grand Canyon, Sedona is a red rock paradise. Sedona makes the perfect getaway to reconnect with the people who matter the most, providing a bouquet of memories that will never fade.

Sedona is equal parts playground and resort; equal parts wilderness and spiritual retreat. It is a place far removed from the everyday experience. The rising columns of red rocks form a fortress that repels stress and distraction. The scenic splendor lifts hearts and ignites smiles. Sedona just seems to bring out the best in all of us. No wonder it’s such a joyful place to share. Time spent in Sedona is more than a vacation; it’s also a long-term investment in wellness.

Hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails promote physical activity and a closer connection with nature. Whether hiking in the shadow of soaring monoliths, strolling along the banks of dancing stream, wafting through the sky in a hot air balloon to greet the rising sun, rumbling

into the outback aboard a rugged jeep, or meditating at a vortex site crackling with ancient energy, let the adventure sweep you away. Dozens of spas offer treatments designed to restore harmony and health. A number of healing practitioners are ready to assist those on a spiritual quest. Many restaurants serve delicious meals of locally sourced ingredients with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. With our cowboy-style steakhouses, spicy Southwestern, elegant Italian and everything in between, Sedona has emerged as a destination for fine food. A variety of grapes grow on lush hillsides producing fine Arizona wines. Days spent among the sprawling red rock beauty are a vacation for mind, body and soul.

This kind of vacation makes for vivid, fond memories; stories that will be recounted over many dinner tables for years to come. That’s the magic of Sedona. It gives you a chance to live fully in the moment while you’re here. And then gives you golden moments to take with you, to relive over and over again.

Sedona, AZ, The Most Beautiful Place On Earth


You may know Scottsdale for its metropolitan side, which boasts luxury resorts, plush spas and chef-driven restaurants.

COWBOYS…Texas is synonymous with cowboys! Whether it’s about the traditional working cowboy or the National Football League’s (NFL) Dallas Cowboys, or Major League’s Baseball (MLB) Texas Rangers - the cowboy has become an iconic symbol of Texas.

Centrally located is Grapevine, Texas, a historic town settled before Texas became a state, and home to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (aka DFW). The Grapevine experience offers life of the traditional cowboy with cattle drives, rodeos, honky-tonks, country music, and fictional shoot-outs. See the world’s most illustrious ranch, “Southfork Ranch”, made famous by the Ewing family in the television series, Dallas, and visit the Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium and the Texas Rangers Globe Life Field.

INDIANS…Oklahoma. One state, many nations. The name Oklahoma means red people in Choctaw. Today, 39 American Indian nations have tribal headquarters in Oklahoma – more than any other state. While two tribes already lived in the area at the time of European contact, all others were forced to leave ancestral homelands and migrated to what was then Indian Territory, each having their own district, culture and society. On this trip, visit tribes who reside in Oklahoma: from tribal perspective, learn of their early history, how they got to Oklahoma and about some of their most influential members. See what the Oklahoma-based tribes are

today – sovereign nations with thriving businesses and cultures and citizens who are working hard to preserve their language and heritage. You’ll visit the Chickasaw Cultural Center; the First Americans Museum; Standing Bear Park, Museum and Education Center; the Cherokee National History Museum; the Choctaw Cultural Center; and the Osage Nation Museum.

Some of the world’s largest collections of Art portraying American Cowboys and American Indians are found at Oklahoma City’s National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, Tulsa’s Gilcrease Museum, and at Bartlesville’s Woolaroc Ranch.

ALL THAT JAZZ…Jazz was born in Louisiana! New Orleans to be exact, and precisely at Congo Square! This public square was one of the only places in America where slaves were allowed to gather and play drums. They did so on “free Sundays,” where the sharing of African rhythms and dance kept their ancestral tradition alive until, as it happened, it would become the very rhythm of American popular culture.

Jazz is the music that erupted when African (and Afro-Caribbean) and European traditions converged in America and nowhere was that mix more potent than in New Orleans. Naturally, many of the earliest names in jazz hailed from Louisiana, including Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver. One of jazz’s most original performers, New Orleans’ own Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong, was as much an ambassador for the music as he

The USA’s Southern western states include Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, three states that are famously known for Cowboys, Indians and Jazz.

COWBOYS, INDIANS


was for his hometown. The newest generation of jazz musicians continue to honor the tradition while bringing in their own unique sounds.

FABULOUS FOODBreakfast, lunch and dinner… all GREAT reasons to travel Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Food in this USA region is uniquely fabulous and incredibly delicious, where home-style cooking is the heart of the exceptional restaurants featured throughout the Cowboys, Indians and All That Jazz route. Places like Meat U Anywhere BBQ in Grapevine, Cattlemen’s Steakhouse in Oklahoma City, The Chicken Shack in Luther, the Sentry Drug & Grill and Little Cakes with Big Attitude in Alexandria, or Strawn’s Eat Shop in Shreveport Bossier and Mother’s Restaurant in New Orleans. All serve-up yummy favorites while providing nourishment for the soul.

Any visit in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana is not complete without including a few delicious BBQ joints here and there. Some serve it wet, some serve it dry, some service it sweet, and some service it hot – all are out of this world good!

COWBOYS, INDIANS AND ALL THAT JAZZ IN THE GREAT OUTDOORSConnect your senses with spending time at Chickasaw National Recreation Area, Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, Osage Nation Heritage Trail Scenic Byway, The Gathering Place, Sequoyah State Park, Caddo Lake, Red River, Kisatchie National Forest and the Mississippi River.

Five resort-style hotels in the Rocky Mountain West towns of Buffalo, Cody and Riverton, WY

Blair Hotels offers more than a place to stay: we offer warm, welcoming getaways

designed for unforgettable experiences.

PARADISE AWAITSMiles of unspoiled beaches, pristine rainforests, spectacular waterfalls and snow-capped mountains, there is nowhere in the world quite like Hawaii. Welcoming and familiar, yet offering an exotic allure that beckons from across the Pacific, Hawaii is the escape everyone needs right now. With their balance of world-class beaches, tourist attractions and luxury resorts, Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island hold the most appeal for visitors.

A NATURALLY STUNNING GATHERING PLACEThe gateway to Hawaii is Oahu, home to iconic Waikiki Beach, the famed North Shore beach breaks and the revered memorial to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Dominating the Waikiki vista, the mighty volcanic cone of Diamond Head watches over what was once a hunting ground for Hawaiian royalty. Today, it’s a tropical playground where people from around the world come to soak up the sun, dive into the sparkling azure waters or rise to early morning beach yoga sessions.

THAT MAUI WOW FACTORSince the 1960s, Maui’s Ka’anapali Beach has been one of Hawaii’s favorite leisure destinations. The sheltered waters are protected by black rock cliffs, where nightly torch lighting and cliff diving ceremonies usher in the evening celebrations at the nearby resorts. The island is ripe for exploring, with sugarcane plantations, coffee and pineapple farms selling fresh produce, and one of America’s great drives, the Road to Hana, taking you along dramatic cliffs and past the black sands of Wai’anapanapa Beach. Every day you’ll be inspired to try something new, like snorkeling with turtles, whale watching, stand up paddleboarding or playing some of the island’s incredible golf courses.

DISCOVER A PACIFIC EDENKauai, known as the Garden Island for its lush wilderness, offers an abundance of escapes from the stresses of the everyday. Hike the Na Pali Coast’s Kalalau Trail, explore ancient forests, take a helicopter ride over majestic waterfalls and canyons, and zipline over the treetops. These prehistoric features have served as the setting for movies like Jurassic Park – and you can take a tour to see where Spielberg filmed some of its most dramatic moments.

LARGER THAN LIFE AND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVERThe island of Hawaii, known as the Big Island, offers plenty of highlights by day and night, with stargazing and night diving with manta rays as popular as tours to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, home to two active volcanoes – Kīlauea and Mauna Loa. Connect to the island’s past at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park, which protects the remains of an ancient Hawaiian settlement of petroglyphs and heiau (temples).

A MOMENT TO SHAREAs the sun sets each night, the Hawaiian Islands light up with torches and fire twirling as locals share the same stories and traditions that have been passed down by elders for centuries. These ceremonial lūʻaus are a feast for the senses, with music, dancing, and buffets of the freshest mahi-mahi, shrimp, grilled meats and tropical fruits. It’s a must-do experience that captures the spirit of this beautiful part of the world, and it’s something you will never forget.

With Marriott International hotels and resorts on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island, Marriott BonvoyTM is your ticket to world-class accommodations, cultural and culinary adventures, and a rewarding Hawaii stay.
