Vegetarian Vacations
Love to travel, but hate leaving your tofu behind? According to The Los Angeles Times (Sunday, Aug. 25, 2002), so many Americans favor food without flesh (or a face) that plenty of tour operators, travel consultants and travel organizations now specialize in vegetarian vacations.Green Earth Travel is one of the oldest travel organizations offering holidays for vegetarians and vegans. Its Web site www.vegtravel.com offers extensive listings of vegetarian bed and breakfasts in North America, Europe, Central America and the Caribbean.
VegiVentures Holidays is an English group founded in 1989 by a chef. Appropriately, all tours emphasize vegetarian or vegan meals. VegiVentures features 10 group excursions a year in Britain, Peru and Turkey. www.vegiventures.com.
Don't let the name fool you: Bicycle Beano Cycling Holidays offers more than active fun laden with legumes, and doesn't peddle the anti-flatulence product bearing the same name. Bicycle and walking tours are popular with travelers who desire more than the tour bus or occasional shopping stroll. Bicycle Beano Cycling Holidays meets the demand for active fun, while offering the former with a meatless flair. Gourmet vegetarian vittles are served at breakfast and dinner each day and cyclists find themselves at vegetarian friendly pubs for lunch. www.bicycle-beano.co.uk
