Marblehead, MA (April 7, 2008) – For those looking to get something more out of their summer travel experience, there is no need to look beyond the newly launched BrilliantTrips.com. Those aged between 18 and 26 years old can find a variety of specially tailored experiences focused on learning, adventure, cross-cultural understanding, volunteering, sustainable tourism, and ecotourism.
The importance of travel abroad in today’s global marketplace is emphasized by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who said (in a statement on International Education Week), “in a world where challenges transcend borders, education is essential for making the world more peaceful and more prosperous. American students can better understand global issues by learning other languages and experiencing other cultures first-hand.â€

Lisa Simons of Re:Vision new media adds, “Our approach in developing the site was to focus on the customer experience by integrating an energetic look and feel with an accessible interface that makes navigation intuitive and content pop.â€
