Gilbert, Arizona — April 24, 2006 —Free Spirit Vacations, a Gilbert-based tour operator, has been named the "Top Tour Operator in North America" by the North American Travel Journalists Association (NATJA).

Free Spirit Vacations was chosen because of the quality of service and the diversity of product, especially important for today's senior travelers. Twenty years ago, when Free Spirit Vacations (FSV) began offering tours, destinations were very predictable. Guests liked the same things and had similar values. But to meet the needs of the 50+ age group today, tour operators like FSV have had to expand their product and offer many choices.
"A tour is more than the destination," states Sue Arko, president and owner of Free Spirit Vacations. "Our business is about people and sharing the world with them. It has been a challenge to meet the needs of the future seniors who are now in their 50's. But we feel we are on the right track by offering a variety of flavors."
"Seniors today find that travel is a lot sweeter when they book a vacation based on their own personal favorite flavor," states Sue. Our menu of choices meets the diverse needs and desires of the 50+ age group. Although Vanilla (Best Value Tours) is still the #1 selling flavor, seniors can choose from flavors such as Rocky Road (Soft Adventure), Canadian Maple (Canada product), Yummy, Gummy Book Worm (Educational Tours), Beaches and Cream (Tropical Destinations), Cactus and Canyons (Arizona Destinations) and more.
Check out the different flavors on our web site, www.FreeSpiritVactions.com or for more information please call 480 926 5547.
