Mitch-Stuart Expands Travel Catalog for 2027 Events

Mitch-Stuart, a travel company specializing in luxury experiences for nonprofits and businesses, has expanded its 2027 travel catalog with a range of new global destinations. This move comes at a time when both nonprofits and businesses are rethinking the nature of rewards and auction items, moving away from conventional vacation packages in favor of more distinctive and memorable experiences.

The new additions to Mitch-Stuart’s catalog include a private island off the coast of Belize, a safari lodge on a private game reserve in South Africa, and a culinary and cultural escape set against Scottsdale’s desert backdrop. These offerings are designed to provide higher-end audiences with experiences that stand out from the crowd, offering something sophisticated and unique.

Among the new destinations, Belize features a trio of experiences, ranging from an exclusive private-island retreat to an eco-conscious journey from reef to rainforest. Costa Rica offers wellness-focused stays built around hot springs, wildlife refuges, and the country’s unspoiled Guanacaste coastline. South Africa’s private-reserve safari lodge provides a more exclusive and personalized safari adventure. Additionally, Mitch-Stuart has added oceanfront golf and spa experiences at Amelia Island, Florida, and sun-drenched resorts in Mexico’s Nuevo Vallarta and Riviera Maya.

For those looking for cultural experiences, the company has included trips to Madrid and Barcelona. The holiday season sees the addition of Christmas market experiences in Salzburg, Austria, and Berlin, Germany. In New York, Mitch-Stuart has introduced two holiday-themed experiences: the Ultimate NYC Thanksgiving Day Experience, which includes trackside access to the Thanksgiving Day Parade, tickets to the Rockettes' Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and a champagne toast at Top of the Rock. Another offering is Breakfast at Tiffany's, a curated day at the Tiffany & Co. flagship featuring a three-course lunch at the Blue Box Cafe and a private car and driver for a photo shoot around the city.

Mitch-Stuart’s expansion is part of a broader trend where donors and employees are less impressed by conventional vacation packages. What stands out instead are experiences that feel personal and unique, making them memorable and valuable. For nonprofits, Mitch-Stuart offers a consignment model, meaning packages can be sourced for an auction or event without any upfront cost to the organization, taking much of the financial risk out of the equation. This allows fundraising teams to be more ambitious about what they put in front of their donors.

For businesses, Mitch-Stuart’s catalog serves as a flexible and elevated range of experiences, from a golf and spa retreat in Florida to a cultural tour of Spain. These experiences are designed to recognize top performers, motivate sales teams, and reward loyal clients in a way that a cash bonus or gift card cannot. As companies lock in their 2027 incentive budgets and recognition plans, having access to a wide range of sophisticated experiences makes it easier to match the reward to whatever it’s meant to celebrate.

Mitch-Stuart is encouraging nonprofit and business planners to start their 2027 planning now, in the fourth quarter, rather than waiting until January. This early start allows for first access to the newest destinations in the catalog and more time to line up specific experiences with next year’s events, campaigns, and milestones.

With this expanded catalog, Mitch-Stuart aims to help organizations offer travel experiences that people are genuinely excited about, not just another line item in a catalog. The company’s focus remains on providing distinctive travel experiences that generate energy and revenue at fundraising events and strengthen client relationships through meaningful rewards.
