Dear Connoisseur of Travel: We are delighted that you’ve chosen Kompas as your travel companion. And we are grateful and excited to embark on this amazing journey with you. The year was 1951, and the motive was to create wholesome travel experiences in erstwhile Yugoslavia. That task fell on the ‘Putnik Transport Agency’ which, in 1959, was renamed as ‘Kompas’. By the 1980’s, and to the delight of its innumerable guests, Kompas’ 4000 employees steered hundreds of motor-coaches, cars, ships and yachts, and they managed several ski centers, hotels and restaurants. After Slovenia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, Kompas expanded internationally and became the largest travel company in the region. It’s head-office is in Europe’s greenest capital Ljubljana. The company has sales and operations offices in 19 cities, most of them in Eastern and Central Europe. Kompas associates, tour directors, drivers and guides are passionate about their country. They want nothing more than for you to discover and love Europe the way they do. Their unique insights, combined with your own travel aspirations, led Kompas to create this wondrous collection of Escorted Tours. Most itineraries depart on Sundays (Saturday transatlantic flights from the USA) and are leisurely paced to finish on the next Sunday. For longer journeys, you can extend your vacation by adding on a Kompas tour in another country which will afford you a discount of 10%. Or consider boarding one of Kompas Small ships for an amazing cruise in the Adriatic Sea. Also, all of Kompas’ tours and cruises are guaranteed to depart, even if there are only a small number of guests booked. In addition, Kompas offers a substantial discount for early bookers, and flexibility for when plans change. Thank you for letting us guide your travels.

This bureau is managed by men who give all of their time to the solution of tourist problems. We are wholesalers in travel service. Our big purchasing power buys the best of everything. Hotels, resorts and transportation companies leave nothing undone to supply our escorted tours with the degree of high-class service demanded by this organization. The two weeks Vacation Tours for 1917, herewith presented, have been produced by the best thought of trained, experienced minds. Moreover, these tours are to be sold at cost. Our department does not work for profit; it sells service, safety and scenery at a "priced- at-cost" rate. This season we offer "Two National Parks in two weeks," featuring the wonderful Yellowstone and the splendid new Rocky Mountain (Estes) National Park. Five days in the former and two and one-half days in the latter, with side excursions into Utah and out from Denver, make up, with the train travel, what I believe to be the best two weeks vacation trip in America. Another important point: We have chosen the fast and direct rail routes in order to avoid the tedium of any unnecessary train travel.

They may reflect inadequate previous training or merely a bad start. In such cases in- dividual help of the kind that seeks to find and remove causes as well as to teach subject matter is often most desirable. It is this kind of tutoring that we aim to give. To this end we have tutors who add personal interest to the requisite scholarship and teaching experience. Needed tutoring taken early in the term not only assists with current work but gives a better basis for future work.

  • Tours and Vacation Packages
    Tours and Vacation Packages INTRODUCTION Being able to suggest the perfect tour will help you become the professional whom clients rely on and return to with future travel needs. When you select the right Hawaiian tour package for a honeymoon couple or arrange a unique Asian adventure tour for a retired couple, you offer more than just airline tickets. You build an entire package that fills your clients’ needs as completely as possible. In this way, you establish a loyal clientele that will come back to you for their future travel needs. How Important Is Selling Tours and Vacation Packages? Tours are not only important—they’re crucial to any travel agency’s profitability. According to a recent survey conducted by American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), 81 percent of all tours and packages are sold by travel agents. With a number that high, travel agents are sure to have a variety of Tours and Vacation Packages 1 needs and wants from their customers. As a travel agent, you need to be up on the latest trends in group tours and vacations packages, as well as have trips that are more unique from the rest of the tours out there. Group tours and vacation packages have varied in type over the years. The shift in touring preferences is largely driven by the baby boomer population. The demands of this generation are changing, as baby boomers want travel that matches their specific needs and interests. They like the idea of adventure and they want to travel in smaller, more concen- trated groups.
