Thomas Kinkade opens tour company
First "Tour of Light" planned for New York
MORGAN HILL, Calif. -- Thomas Kinkade is more than a painter. He is a brand. Sale of his bucolic oil paintings make up a good portion of his company's revenue yet are only a part of the collectables sold through Thomas Kinkade Galleries and from the company's Internet site.
From mugs to miniatures, collectors can find almost anything to furnish a home. And if that isn't enough for the faithful, they could have even purchased a Thomas Kinkade home.
Now the company is expanding into the travel market. The inaugural Thomas Kinkade vacation tour, called "Tour of Light," will be a three-week, all inclusive, motorcoach tour of the finger lakes area of New York. There, plans are for overnight accommodations and sightseeing stops in Penn Yan, Watkins Glen, and Cayuga with an optional, two-day side trip Le Roy, the home of the famous Jell-O Museum.
In an exclusive interview, Randal Cornerstone, spokesperson for Thomas Kinkade Company and leader of this inaugural event said, "We believe that our guests will find our excursions to be more than inspirational. We also expect that they will find them informational, educational, recreational, conversational, intergenerational, denominational, motivational, transformational and of course non-constipational."
