ISRAMWORLD'S ULTRA-DELUXE ELITE SERIES
NOW OFFERED IN CHINA, VIETNAM, CENTRAL EUROPE, PERU AND ISRAEL
It
was last August that ISRAMWORLD introduced its Elite Series of ultra-deluxe
private tours to India. For 2008, the concept is being expanded
to China, Vietnam, Peru, Central Europe and Israel.
"The Elite
Series is geared to the ultra-sophisticated traveler and designed
to fill a gap in the luxury travel market," says A. Ady Gelber,
President and CEO of ISRAMWORLD, "combining for the agent the
convenience of a set itinerary with all of the attributes of a customized
private luxury tour." The basis of each program is a series
of hotel stays in top-level rooms and suites at the finest hotels.
"No expense is spared," says Gelber. "It's always
the best accommodations, with the best views and the best facilities."
All Elite Series trips are outfitted with a private limousine with
driver and a professional escort-guide who are with the passengers
from the moment of arrival at the destination, to their departure.
In Peru, the arrangements are by limousine and private plane.
A suggested
touring itinerary is provided, with all entrance fees included,
as well as a series of privileged events available only to a privileged
few. "However, it is a suggestion," emphasizes Gelber,
"because with the Elite Series everything is changeable, re-organizable
on a daily basis as the trip progresses." Typically, the escort-guide
will meet the guests at the airport on arrival, transfer with them
to the hotel and then, depending on the guests' energy levels, sit
with them that day or at breakfast the next day to plan the days
ahead.
· INDIA:
12 nights covering Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodphur (including
Business Class air in India). Highlights include a private elephant-back
safari and invitations to the retreat of the Maharajah of Jodphur.
· CHINA:
11 nights in suites in Beijing, Xian, Yangtze River Cruise and
Shanghai (including Junior Suite on the cruise, and First Class
air in China). Highlights include a visit to restricted areas
of the Xian excavations and a private lunch in the Forbidden City.

· PERU:
8 nights in the finest hotels in Lima, the Sacred Valley and Cuzco
- with private plane excursions to Trujillo, Arequipa, Cuzco and

· CENTRAL

in Prague and Budapest, with a series of private tours to sites
not normally accessible to tourists and Business Class air between

and privileged visits is included.
Elite Series
programs are priced from $8,988 to $15,465 per person, based on
double occupancy, plus international airfare. "The Elite Series
is all about a totally custom-made tour," says Gelber, "privately
escorted and guided, with everything included - and, within the
basic framework of the hotel progression, completely fluid."
Then, he paused, smiled and added, "And it's also about enormous
commissions for the agent."
