Goway today announced the launch of their 2006/2007 brochure, North America’s most comprehensive travel guide to DOWNUNDER (Australia, New Zealand and the Islands of the South Pacific).

The award winning brochure, which was rated in the top 10 global brochures for travel to Australia, features every possible style of travel imaginable! From hiking the Milford Track in New Zealand, to languishing poolside at Hayman Island on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, and everything in between!

Catering to the needs of the North America traveller, Goway’s signature range of “Holidays of a Lifetime” escorted tours has been expanded to include a 10 Day Best of New Zealand and 15 Day Best of Australia. These shorter duration tours allow visitors an insight into the destination within the confines of vacation time! Starting from just $4999, these tours include airfare from the west coast, accommodations, meals and great touring. Goway has also introduced guaranteed departures for the 2006/2007 travel season.

Goway has also refined their “Classic Tours”, a series of suggested itineraries that are priced at four levels of accommodation to allow the flexibility for travellers to choose their date of departure and budget. Sample tours include the 11 Day Classic Sydney Rock and Reef, starting at $1440 and because they are priced for land only, they allow travellers to take advantage of the latest airline specials or use frequent flier miles for part or all of the air travel arrangements.

Recognizing a need for greater flexibility and options for travellers, Goway has added tours such as hot air ballooning, wine tours, city walking tours, cultural tours, and even a jetlag recovery package!

For the truly independent traveller, Goway’s 108-page DOWNUNDER brochure offers literally hundreds of travel ideas. From expedition cruising along Australia’s Great Barrier Reef to exploring New Zealand’s National Parks, and cultural tours to exploring the wine regions, the brochure has ideas to inspire travellers of all styles.
