Welcome to ATI’s newest arm!
I’m Alexandria and this office has been a second home to me since as soon as my parents let me crawl across its carpeted floors while they took phone calls to talk about far away places that somehow, today, seem quite close.
Admiral Travel International is known for the innovative prowess of its founder and my mother, Malaka Hilton. Admiral Travel International is known for its commitment to quality by its loyal ATInsiders; the company is intentionally and unapologetically exclusive.
We cannot be all things to all people; innovation as our anchor, though, we are dipping our toes into new territories.
So, ATAdventures has a different… taste.
If ATAdventures could be itemized on a menu and delivered on a plate, it would be not an altogether different dish than an ATI VIPlane Journey, for example. It would not be unrecognizable to the brand you know; it would merely deliver a different feeling. The aftertaste might linger longer or perhaps the profile would challenge the wine pairing you’d traditionally request. After all, even if two chefs work from the same ingredients, in the same kitchen, you are bound to wind up with two different products.
If I lost you in the extended metaphor, I’ll get us back on track —
ATAdventures are group departures designed for the curious and the flexible. Off-peak and off-the-beaten-path, on-brand and never-before-seen, ATAdventures will take the adaptable explorer places unknown.
ATAdventures is where you’ll find yoga retreats; I am a yoga teacher and am moved by my practice more and more each day.
If that’s not your speed, know that hiking trips will show up here as well.
My brother, Carter, may as well have fins and gills and with his knowledge soon-to-be added to ATI’s repertoire, look out for more fishing trips.
Some ATInsiders have expressed interest in a horseback safari, a ton of you want to engage the depths of the Great Barrier Reef, and many are keen on a rugged look at Greenland from inside a tent. These are examples of trips that will wear an ATAdventure stamp (see below for said stamp).
My hosted trip to the Dolomites will feature shared accommodations in the huts and double occupancy rooms in the cities. It was inspired by my time hiking and backpacking in New Zealand and Australia. My hosted trip to Botswana will feature tented accommodations across two camps. We will go in the rainy season, when the weather is a warm and the babies of the bush are being born, and the cost to the adventurous traveler is that tiny bit more accessible; anyone who has long been dreaming of Botswana but feels hindered by the region’s high price tag may find that this is a great option.
I have struggled to adequately define luxury; the idea seems ever-changing. Right now, though, I believe that true luxury can be adequately measured by attention-to-detail, hard work, and trusted partnerships. This adventurous arm of ATI will be aligned with those three pillars.
Welcome to ATAdventures! We’re stoked to have you.
