Actually 1994 will be remembered as a year of dramatic developments. Hard to believe that only a year has passed since Oslo!!! Travel this year has also boomed, with many thousands who never dreamed of being overseas finding themselves on the Turkish Riviera at prices cheaper than Eilat. This trend shows no sign of letting up, but if you can, my serious advice is not to go during peak periods (e.g. chagim). It is just not pleasant. Europe too has become closer with very cheap flights attracting travel lers. Not to mention Thailand and China etc. El-Al is now opening a new route to Hong Kong and, with the possibil ity of El-Al planes now overflying Jordan and Saudi Arabia and reaching Bombay in 3 hours and Bangkok in 6, the world is really shrinking. Now seems to be the time to fulfill those dreams!!! After spending the summer mostly at home, I am taking my family for a tour of the New South Africa in September - after a three year break be lieve it or not. I will be happy to tell you about it next time. My Staff and I wish all readers of Telfed a very Happy and Peaceful New Year and well over the Fast. We thank you most sincerely for your excellent support over the past year and look forward to assisting you with all your travel plans in 94/95.
