THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE GUARANTEED

CONTENTS

Advance book your 2011 / 12 Australia or New Zealand tour

by the 15th October and we guarantee the price of your

holiday will be the same as or lower than the new

brochure price.

Since the launch of our 2010 / 11 Australia & New Zealand

brochure last October, the value of the British Pound has

fallen dramatically against both the New Zealand & Australian

dollars. With the New Zealand government also increasing

the rate of their VAT equivalent, you will appreciate that our

new brochure prices will inevitably have to rise more than

the usual inflationary costs. In fact we expect brochure prices

on certain tours to increase significantly - in some cases by

around 15%.

By booking your holiday in advance we will guarantee the

price of your holiday will be as good as (but more likely better

than) the price you would pay when the new brochure

is published.

What’s more, in the unlikely event that a new brochure price

is lower than featured in this special Preview Brochure, we will

reduce the cost of your holiday to match the lower brochure

price. So it’s a win - win situation for you.

For more details, please read on...

We are delighted to send you a sneak preview of

our brand new 2011 / 12 Australia & New Zealand

brochure, which will be on sale in October.

As a sign of our gratitude for your recent interest

in Scenic Tours, we would like to give you an

opportunity to book your 2011 / 12 Australia or

New Zealand luxury escorted tour before our new

brochure goes on general sale in the UK.

If you book the Grand Australia or Royal New

Zealand Tour by the 15th October, you will

guarantee the price you pay will be the same as or

lower than the prices featured in the new brochure.

On selected dates you can also take advantage of our

fabulous Special Preview Offers, with a FREE two

night inbound stopover.

Finally if you would like to be one of the first to

recieve our 2011/12 brochures including our brand

new Australia & New Zealand Tour, you can register

your details with us now. Please see page 11 for

further information.
