Memorable Souvenirs That Go Everywhere You Go

Travel is more in vogue than ever, and clothing items purchased on a journey are more than just stylish souvenirs. Slip into a Chinese Hanfu, and you're on the steps of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, China, once more… looking up in awe. Wrap a handcrafted Spanish mantón, meticulously made by artisans in century-old shops, around your shoulders, and feel the rhythmic flamenco beats transport you to the heart of Madrid, where the tradition of flamenco tablaos was born. Grab your macramé bucket bag, handmade by Colombia's indigenous Wayuu tribe, and you're basking on a white-sand beach in Tayrona Natural Park.

USTOA tour operator members help their guests make memory-rich purchases like these, introducing them to local artisans and designers, taking them to markets where authentic apparel, jewelry, art, and other locally crafted goods and food products are sold. Tour leaders know their destinations' retail secrets, and they're eager to help you find items you'll cherish long after you return home. Plus, shopping local sustains the economies of places travelers adore.
