The AGS Travel Program

      Since 1984 the American Geographical Society has sponsored over 250 educational trips for the general public. The AGS Travel Program is distinguished by the fact that the lecturers are professional geographers. They are Fellows of the Society and authorities on the regions traveled, having done field work and traveled there themselves. They bring a geographer's unifying interpretation to the description of landscape, history, customs, cuisine, art, architecture, politics, music, religion, literature, resources, economy, and all the other riches of the places visited on each trip. AGS provides the passengers with reading lists, books, articles, maps, and other informational materials about the itineraries and about the discipline of geography. Passengers also receive complimentary subscriptions to FOCUS on Geography magazine, the Geographical Review, and Ubique, as well as membership in the American Geographical Society.
