With over 90 maps, over 400 photographs and illustrations and over 300 travel ideas, Goway’s latest 2004/5 DOWNUNDER travel catalogue continues its tradition to be North America’s most comprehensive brochure for travel to Australia, New Zealand and the beautiful South Pacific. It has a unique name (a distinctive up-side-down DOWNUNDER logo) and with US $ and CA $ editions, the company claims it is the most widely distributed brochure of its type in North America.

Recently Goway’s DOWNUNDER catalogue also became the “brochure of the year”, beating all other similar American and Canadian brochures. The awards, made in Sydney, have the purpose of encouraging excellence in the promotion of the South Pacific’s Tourism Assets. For savvy travel agents, DOWNUNDER has long been their main desktop reference source when selling the South Pacific. Whatever their client’s interest is, invariably there is a travel idea they can offer. Whether they are backpackers or business people, V.I.P. or honeymooners, or are interested in self drive, coach touring, rail travel or adventure experiences, Goway’s DOWNUNDER offers something for everyone. Special mention should also be made about Goway’s fully escorted tours promising “something special” and their exclusive long stay winter escape vacations for snowbirds.

“Small and special” is a new classification for hotels to be included in independent itineraries. They are “specially selected for their individual character and uniqueness; all offer a very personalized service and vary from economy to luxurious”.

Also new this year are the Brisbane/Cairns Tilt Train, the Ghan rail extension from Alice Springs to Darwin; the travelling hotel OZback Rail journey for 6-17 days; more active and adventurous experiences plus more self drive suggestions in both Australia and New Zealand. Of course, Goway’s best selling and old favourites such as their small vessel eco-cruises are prominently featured in their brochure. For more information contact Goway Travel at 1-800-387-8850.
