Posted by PressRelease in New Zealand, Packages | No Comments

New Zealand, known for its clean green environment and breathtaking scenery, is a destination that is always impressive to visit. The country is filled with unspoiled areas to discover again and again. Kiwi’s embrace everything eco friendly from restaurants and markets selling only local produce. The indigenous Maori culture of New Zealand is something that is very unique and interesting to learn about when you visit.

Goway Travel is offering an amazing 12-day vacation that starts at just $1409CA per person and includes round trip airfare on Air New Zealand from Los Angeles, 10 days Maui Intermediate car rental and 9 nights accommodation in a choice of cities at Kingsgate hotels. Accommodation upgrades are available. This is an incredible sale for travel 01 May to 21 September 2010, and offers over $300 per person in savings.

New Zealand’s largest city is Auckland and is a prime destination for water sports, swimming and yachting which has made it known as the ‘City of Sails’. The country is really a land of all contrasts, offering a wealth of natural sights including geysers and mud pools, waterfalls and glaciers, a rugged coastline and spectacular plains. The best time to visit is during the warm months between November and April, though June to August is high season for skiing and snowboarding.

“I’ve travelled the length of New Zealand by coach and by car” commented Aussie-born Product Manager Meghan Boyd, “And what always strikes me is the friendly Kiwis and the compact nature of the country… you can be walking to the glacier face in the morning, strolling in rainforests by late afternoon, and then enjoying fish and chips with the locals at dinner time!”

Posted by PressRelease in Asia | No Comments

Goway Travel, the leading North American wholesaler, is well known for their traditional itineraries to China, India, Thailand and Japan; however they also offer lesser known destinations such as the Philippines.

A place of natural wonders, the Philippines is a string of coral-fringed islands strewn across a vast expanse of the western Pacific. You can swim with whale sharks, discover geographically interesting landscapes or meet mountain tribes.

“The Philippines is teeming with potential tourist destinations with its pristine white sand beaches, warm and clear dive sites, scenic landscapes and all kinds of jewels in a tropical setting, “ says Goway’s Product and Marketing Manager for Asia, Doug Vogl. “And because it is off the beaten path, the Philippines is a perfect place to escape the tourist crowds of other Asian destinations – plus it is amazing value for your client’s dollar.”

Goway’s best selling program is their 9 Day Classic Philippines tour which starts at $1339 CAD and features in-depth touring in Manila and region, Cebu Island, home to the oldest city in the Philippines, Bohol, which boasts the famous Chocolate Hills and finally a relaxing 3 nights is spent in Boracay.

Another option for people with more time is the 4 Day private tour to the Banaue Rice Terraces. This unique tour starts at $1339 CAD and provides spectacular views of 2,000 old rice terraces at 1300 m (4300 ft) above sea level plus a full day tour to the hinterland town of Bontoc.
