“Discover America” launches in response to a surge in demand for domestic travel

With international travel remaining on hiatus, together with an abundance of unattractive restrictions imposed on hotels and resort destinations, premium travel and tour operator, Overseas Leisure Group, has launched an alternative luxury travel option for the adventurous to explore the great American outdoors while taking responsible health and safety measures to ensure a minimum risk within the remote wilderness.

“Discover America” has been developed in response to the European travel ban and a steep surge in demand for domestic travel by offering a series of bespoke Luxury RV excursions that are customized for today’s affluent traveler. Designed to reconnect the travel connoisseur with the natural wonder of our great continent, a state-of-the-art recreation vehicle is paired with an equally sumptuous inter-state itinerary to create a most memorable cross-country adventure of a lifetime. 

“Due to the recess in international travel, our volume of domestic bookings has seen a rapid rise from 5 percent to more than 90 percent over the last month,” says Felix Brambilla, Founder, and CEO of Overseas Leisure Group. 

“Never has there been a more critical time to use a travel advisor during the ever-changing landscape of travel during Covid-19. A travel advisor will know about interstate quarantine measures as well as the protocols and safety guidelines being enforced at each destination, so clients are getting the best insider information. You need to find the proper balance between safety and comfort so the magic of discovery remains. Every aspect of the journey is about acting responsibly, starting with the traveler.”
