Liberty Travel: American Airlines
built 237 days ago
During the 1960s Americans became more experienced travelers and Liberty expanded its travel options, arranging package trips to more exotic or culturally interesting locations around the world, such as Tahiti, Tokyo, and Israel. While GoGo Tours, Inc. handled the wholesale operation of formulating vacation packages, Liberty's retail agents accounted for a large portion of sales at GoGo. Liberty expanded to accommodate new customers, opening several retail travel offices, for a total of 19 offices in New York City by 1970. Liberty opened offices in New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Florida, as well as other areas of New York.

A gift to the USA from France in 1886 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of American independence, the Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants during the 19th century who came to America to seek a better life. Enjoying a fine position in New York Harbour, this world-famous statue, which was originally called Liberty Enlightening the World, has become a defining American symbol of freedom and democracy. This 45m (151ft) statue of a woman holding a torch aloft, was designed by the French sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, and was modelled on the Colossus of Rhodes. A limited number of time passes are issued on the day allowing people to enter the monument. The grounds are still open to the public without a ticket and offer visitors the opportunity to see the statue up close. Nearby Ellis Island, part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, houses a museum devoted to the history of immigration.
Liberty participated in cooperative advertising with travel suppliers, either by being listed among other travel agents for a destination advertisement or by placing known brands and their logos in Liberty's print advertisements. A full-page advertisement in the New York Times could mention a national weekly rate for a car rental company, airlines involved in a package trip, or the rate for a specific destination hotel. All Liberty travel offices were listed at the bottom of the advertisements.
