What's Happening?
Four advisors from MTA Mobile Travel Agents embarked on a six-day journey aboard Rocky Mountaineer’s 'Rockies to the Red Rocks' route, now rebranded as 'Canyon Spirit'. The itinerary included travel from Moab
to Denver, featuring tours of Arches National Park and stays in Moab, Glenwood Springs, and Denver. Advisors experienced the SilverLeaf Service, enjoying regionally inspired meals and storytelling from hosts. This journey is crucial for advisors to understand the product ahead of its expansion to Salt Lake City in 2026.
Why It's Important?
The experience positions MTA advisors as specialists in North American luxury rail travel, enhancing their ability to craft bespoke itineraries for clients. The rebranding and expansion of the route reflect Rocky Mountaineer’s commitment to offering unique travel experiences, combining luxury rail travel with iconic American Southwest landscapes. This development is significant for the travel industry, as it highlights the growing demand for experiential and luxury travel options, particularly in scenic and culturally rich regions.
What's Next?
As Rocky Mountaineer expands its route to Salt Lake City, MTA advisors are poised to offer enhanced travel packages, integrating the new destinations. The expansion may attract more travelers seeking luxury rail experiences, boosting tourism in Utah and Colorado. Advisors will continue to refine their offerings, leveraging their firsthand experience to provide tailored travel solutions. The travel industry may see increased interest in rail travel, prompting other operators to explore similar experiential routes.
