Dear Travelers,

We are writing to address the U.S. government shutdown and its potential impact on your trip.

As a company, GL Travel has been planning D.C. trips for over 20 years; we are well-versed in this situation and have comprehensive contingency plans in place.

The good news: Given the timing of most groups’ departures, it is highly unlikely that your trip will be impacted.

Our Plan: Should a shutdown temporarily close federally funded sites, such as the Smithsonian museums, we are fully prepared. Washington, D.C., is still full of incredible sites that will remain open. We will immediately substitute any affected activities with excellent, engaging, and educational alternatives.

We are monitoring the situation closely. We are in close communication with your trip leader and will keep you informed of any necessary adjustments.

We look forward to a fantastic trip to Washington, D.C.!

Sincerely,

GL Travel
