A Hawaii travel agency is pushing escorted group tours to far-flung destinations, aimed at people who want someone else to handle the planning.

• Non-Stop Travel has teamed up with Collette Tours to sell guided group trips departing from Hawaii.
• Destinations on offer include India with Nepal and Dubai, Turkey, Patagonia, southern Africa, Iceland, and the Christmas markets of Montreal and Quebec City.
• The pitch is convenience: the tour operator handles logistics and travelers just book a spot.
• Bookings go through Non-Stop Travel by phone or at non-stop.travel.

Outlook: Expect these seasonal trips, especially the Christmas market runs, to fill up as travelers lock in winter plans.
