Lakeland Chamber of Commerce
Lakeland, Florida
trip: Israel
tour operator: The Israel Adventure
date: May and June 2019
The Lakeland Chamber of Commerce took 43 travelers to see the highlights of Israel. The group explored historic and religious sites in Jerusalem, Nazareth, Galilee and Bethlehem.
“The group especially enjoyed their boat ride on the Sea of Galilee, seeing an ancient gate in Tel Dan and visiting the most historical sites in Jerusalem, such as the Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. They also loved learning from The Israel Adventure’s Dr. Joe Davis, a professor of theology in the College of Christian Ministries and Religion at Southeastern University. His knowledge of the land made the stories come to life.”

Trip: Northern Lights of Finland
Tour Operator: Collette
Date: December 2018
For eight days, the group journeyed across Finland with stops at Helsinki, Ivalo and the Lapland region. The trip was a small group tour restricted to no more than 24 passengers.
“The adventure was amazing with so many highlights, but our biggest thrill was seeing the northern lights on several occasions, as well as spending three nights in a glass igloo cabin at the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort. Each cabin came with its own sauna. What I heard most was how much they enjoyed the pristine beauty of the area. The reindeer sled ride in search of the northern lights was a once-in-a-lifetime experience we will never forget.”
