Goway Travel, located in Los Angeles, is the newest tour operator to become a Corporate Member of USTOA.
The company, which just last year celebrated its 30th birthday, operates tours and vacation packages to the South Pacific, Africa and Asia. Under the direction of president, Bruce Hodge, Goway provides agents with one-stop shopping for travel arrangements to Africa, Asia and the South Pacific, including air, packages, tours and groups.
Goway also has a fully escorted "Holiday of a Lifetime" tour series, inclusive tours offering the promise of "something special." For air-only sales, Goway's air consolidation division guarantees the best fares, while its group division specializes in customized group travel. According to Hodge, there is not a better time to travel to the South Pacific, with interest being fueled by the Sydney Olympics, the Survivor television series, and the low value of Downunder currencies. "Currently the US dollar buys approximately 2 Aussie dollars and we've got some great value programs available," Hodge states.
For 2001 the company has expanded its selection of packages to Tahiti and other Pacific Islands,and has added more "Stays of Distinction" throughout the South Pacific, as well as new adventure products in Australia. The Goway 2001 roster also features more escorted tours to South Africa, plus new, exclusive game lodges throughout Africa. In Asia, the company has added 50% more product, including a new fully escorted Orient "Holiday of a Lifetime" tour.
"USTOA has been very effective in emphasizing integrity and consumer protection in the tour industry, and we're proud to join this leading organization," Hodge added. With the new Goway membership, USTOA currently numbers 62 Corporate Members, representing more than 160 brand names.
