Group trips’ include visiting local homes
The Boulder, Colorado-based Asia Transpacific Journeys’ fall 2006 departures to China, Burma, India, Butan, Indochina and Thailand include elements such as festivals, visiting locals in their own homes and detailed studies of flora and fauna.
Said Marilyn Staff, CEO:
“Exploration and in-depth interpretation are what sets us apart. However, our sophisticated travelers also enjoy the crème de la crème of meals and lodgings.”
The company says in a news release that its trips are an effort to “go far beyond the expectations of guidebooks to delve into the heart and soul of a country.”
A typical trip to Burma, for example, includes a jaunt on a river barge, then a journey by rail, car, horse cart and foot to see pagodas, exotic markets and tribal villages. A land cost of $4,395 includes tour leadership, insurance and accommodations.
Included in the per person rate usually are accommodations, nearly all meals, transfers, visa fees, tips entrance fees, medical and emergency insurance and a comprehensive pre-departure packet.
