The Georgian Probus Travel Group  (GPTG) is an initiative created by PROBUS members to promote group travel among the PROBUS Clubs of the Georgian Bay Region. 

**See the main Georgian Probus Travel Group website for discounts on travel insurance and more!**

The purpose of the Travel group is to promote the following:

  • Provide unique group travel opportunities to the PROBUS Clubs of the Georgian Bay region.
  • To provide the best value excursions for our members
  • To promote camaraderie among our various club members
  • To access a large number of members to assure attainment of the minimum numbers for a trip.
  • To eliminate or reduce single supplement fees and reduce tour prices were possible.

The GPTG committee is composed of volunteer members from the various Probus clubs working together to provide exciting, quality vacation opportunities. Our goal is to provide a number of varied Discovery and Active trips to appeal to the wideset audience. We do this through frequent member travel surveys to determine your needs.

Discovery tours are for those members who like to experience travel by bus or boat.
Active tours are for those who want trips with an exercise component such as Cycling, Kayaking/Canoeing, Hiking, etc.
