The Group Travel Leader is taking a trip to Kentucky, and we want you to come with us!
Our friends at the Kentucky Department of Tourism are arranging a “Great Gatsby” themed familiarization tour of several of Kentucky’s most popular cities, and they’re inviting our travel planner readers to attend. The tour will take place in late spring of 2025. The tour will begin in Northern Kentucky, where participants will discover the gangster history of Covington and Newport. Then it will continue on to the elegant horse farms and homes of Lexington and end in Louisville, home of horse racing, speakeasies and legendary bourbon distilleries.
You’ll join Rachel Crick, our staff writer, and Kyle Anderson, our VP of sales and marketing, as they explore the area with our Kentucky hosts.
Groups visiting Kentucky can look forward to signature experiences such as:
• Thoroughbred horse racing — Catch the excitement live at Louisville’s Churchill Downs.
• Bourbon distilleries — Tour historic distilleries and taste Kentucky’s favorite spirit at Louisville speakeasies.
• Signature museums — Learn about the state’s equestrian love affair at the Kentucky Horse Park.
• Riverfront ramblings — Enjoy a riverboat ride on the Ohio River in Northern Kentucky.
Your hotel accommodations, meals, admissions and other expenses will be hosted by the Kentucky Department of Tourism. Participants are responsible for their own travel to and from the state.
You can apply to attend this FAM tour at grouptravelleader.com/ky-fam. Space is limited, and applications close March 1. If you have any questions, call Kyle Anderson at 859-253-0455.
