Goway’s Downunder Travel Planner

Goway today announced the launch of their 2005/2006 brochure, Canada’s most comprehensive travel guide to travel throughout Australia, New Zealand and the Islands of the South Pacific.

With 35 years experience arranging travel, Goway also celebrates the 10th anniversary of their Snowbirds program, a revolutionary Goway travel experience for North Americans to spend the winter “Downunder”. Starting from as little as $3539 for a 1-month stay in a choice of exotic locations, the Snowbirds program features discounts for stores and restaurants, memberships in clubs and a grocery starter kit.

Also introduced within their signature range of “Holidays of a Lifetime” escorted tours is an exploration of Australia’s rugged North-West from Perth to Darwin. This 20-day tour was originally developed as a “Return to Oz” holiday for return visitors Down Under, but is garnering interest from travellers who want to explore and enjoy the wine, wilderness and wildlife of this vast continent. Priced from $9699, the journey includes a guide from North America, travel insurance, first class accommodations and virtually all meals and comprehensive touring.

Goway has also refined and expanded 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 15-Day Classic Sydney Rock and Reef, starting at $1492; and because they are priced for land only, they allow travellers to take advantage of the latest airline specials or use frequent flyer miles for part or all of the air travel arrangements.

For the truly independent traveller, Goway’s 2005-06 DOWNUNDER brochure offers literally hundreds of travel ideas within the 108-page planner. 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 traveliers of all styles.

Goway Presentations Introduce New India Brochure

Due to a growing demand, Goway has now introduced a new INDIA brochure as the popularity for this destination increases. India is already one of the regular featured destinations in Goway’s ASIA brochure. However, in the new INDIA brochure, product has been augmented to reflect the diversity of the country and the many aspects and attractions of this large and colourful destination.

As is the usual Goway approach, the product caters to the needs of all travellers. For the traveller who wishes to be with a group, there is the “Splendours of India”, a 23 day professionally escorted tour covering the essential highlights of both the North and the South of the country. Air travel is with Singapore Airlines. It is another tour in the HOLIDAYS OF A LIFETIME hallmark series in which Goway now offers a total of 5 tours.

For the person wanting a preplanned yet independent travel package, there is a choice of the 13 day “Classic India” tour, the 8 day “Golden Triangle” tour and the 11 day “Scenic South India” tour.

Goway also offers city packages which can be combined together with airfares within India. Destinations include Delhi, Bombay, Varanasi, Jaipur, Udaipur, Agra, Madras and the beach resort of Goa. Other products offered are a luxury train tour on the “Palace on Wheels”, a visit to a Tiger Sanctuary, a cruise on the Backwaters of Kerala in the South of India and itineraries to the foothills of the Himalayas, suitable alternatives to Nepal.
