World Leaders Travel specializes in creating extraordinary educational travel events defined by a compelling combination of experts, access, and insight. Under the banner "Explore the world with the people who shape it," each travel event is built around a prominent leader and a timely theme, with highlights including a comprehensive educational program, exclusive access, private events, customized excursions, and the highest level of luxury and service. World Leaders Travel has operated travel events on every continent, working extensively in the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, Russia and the Baltic region, the Black Sea, Northern and Southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand, Indonesia, and Central and South America.
Why Here? Why Now?
We are ever mindful of these two key questions when creating travel events that hit all the highlights, focus on compelling and timely topics, and feature a lineup of uniquely qualified guest speakers and in-country experts.
An Extraordinary Blend of Travel and Education
When you explore the world with the people who shape it, you enjoy a rare opportunity to be part of a multi-dimensional educational experience. The combination of three exciting elements—perspectives from globally significant leaders, insights from special guests and local experts, and the valuable contributions of your fellow travelers—results in a uniquely compelling travel experience.
An All-Inclusive Journey
From arrival to departure, we’ve got you covered. This includes customized, small-group excursions; tips and gratuities; on-tour flights, transportation, and transfers; a pre-departure travel guide and reading selections; special events and receptions; and fine wine and spirits on cruises.
A Well-Balanced Itinerary
Each travel event is designed to ensure that you experience the superlative highlights you imagine, are offered the compelling options you expect, and have time to relax and enjoy your travels.
A Personalized Travel Experience
Symposiums and Forums give you the freedom to design a journey that reflects your interests by selecting from a range of complimentary small-group excursion options at most destinations.
A Wealth of Experience
Since 1978, our team of experienced service and travel professionals has built a reputation for excellence, and you can be sure that we’ve taken care of even the smallest details. When you’re traveling the world, experience counts, and we’re pleased to have hosted special guests such as George H.W. and Barbara Bush, Madeleine Albright, Lech Walesa, Tom Brokaw, and thousands of other intellectually curious travelers.
Exclusive Access
Specially arranged and exclusive access opens doors not available to a typical traveler. While each destination is different, guests can expect dinners in one-of-a-kind settings, meetings with high-level government officials, performances in grand theaters, and private tours of ancient sites.
World-Class Accommodations, Dining, and Amenities
On land and at sea, enjoy five-star hotels and accommodations, internationally inspired cuisine and fine wines, impeccable service from experienced staff and local guides, specially arranged events in unique venues, and the personal attention you expect.
The Power of Travel
Travel has the power to transform, and that will almost surely be the case when you join a World Leaders Travel event. Whether engaging with experts about history and public affairs or listening to the hopes and dreams of university students and local citizens, there’s a good chance that when all is said and done, you will never view the world in quite the same way.
You Won’t Find It Anywhere Else
Each Symposium and Forum is completely customized, with special features and surprises that you won't find on other trips. We also work closely with our travel event sponsors to ensure that one-of-a-kind means exactly that.
Celebrations and Gala Events
In the company of leaders and scholars, celebrate your spectacular travel experience during special events that feature dazzling and elegant settings, world-class cuisine, and unforgettable entertainment.
Like-Minded Fellow Travelers
Your fellow travelers, many affiliated with America’s top academic and cultural organizations, add a level of sophistication and intellectual curiosity not typically associated with a group travel experience.
Go Beyond the Headlines
Rest assured that you’ll get a glimpse of real life in the exotic locales you visit, from exploring serious subjects such as enduring conflicts and human rights to experiencing the rich cultural, intellectual, and artistic heritage that make each region of the world so compelling.
Good Reasons to Come Early and Stay Late
Specially designed optional extensions before and after the main travel event give you the opportunity to extend your stay, and to delve deeper into some of the world's most amazing cultures.
Don’t Miss a Thing
Experienced local guides offer valuable context and personal perspectives during your journey. With state-of-the-art headsets that offer clear reception of expert commentary during excursions, we do our best to make sure you never miss a thing.
It Keeps Getting Better
Up until departure, we’re looking for ways to make each travel event, and your personal experience, as special and memorable as possible. New and exciting features will continue to be added, which means you can expect to experience highlights you never imagined.
