It is 23 years since we first started serving the North
American traveller. I can honestly say that we have come
a long way in providing vacations of quality and value
to our most discerning customers, the travel agents and

I am as much excited and passionate about what we
do today as the way I felt in our early pioneering years.
Whilst the world had undergone tremendous change
since that time, I believe we still live in a fascinating and
wonderful world which continues to offer Travellers new
vistas, themes and ideas just waiting to be explored.
Our expertise in Asia, Africa, South & Central America, the
South Pacific and the Middle East remains unrivalled in
the industry and I invite you to continue to patronize us,
