WHY COSMOS? |
| Cosmos is not an ordinary tour company.
Entirely dedicated to giving you the
excitement of faraway places at the lowest
possible cost, we have few rivals and no
match in the field of budget touring. |
| • It is reassuring for you to know that we are
part of the prestigious Globus group of travel
companies, founded in 1928 and today the
world's most successful operator of escorted tours. |
| • Since 1962, when Cosmos tours were first
introduced, millions of English-speaking
people from all over the world have
enthusiastically endorsed our concept of
quality budget touring. Year after year, many
of them come back for more, and bring their
friends as well. |
| • Honest advertising is a Cosmos hallmark.
Our brochures are clear, complete, and
uncomplicated. We are proud of what we are
able to offer you for surprisingly little money. |
| • Cosmos tour directors are experienced,
friendly professionals. Our motorcoaches are
as luxurious as any used on much more
expensive tours. |
| • Why spend a fortune on fancy hotels when
you'll want to be out sightseeing most of the
time? Our hotel policy is spelled out on page
6, and hotels are listed for each tour. You'll be
surprised at the quality of the hotels Cosmos
has selected for you while keeping costs down. |
| • Your land price is guaranteed once Cosmos
has received your deposit . |
| If you insist on getting the most out of your travel budget, Cosmos is the way to go. |
Never taken a group tour? Not sure it's the
way to go? Then consider these important
facts before you attempt to go off on your own: |
| • You simply can't beat the price! Cosmos
volume contracting for hotels and services
provides you with travel at wholesale rates.
You'll know the cost in advance. |
| • Travel relaxed and hassle-free, knowing
that all arrangements have been made for
you by reliable specialists. |
| • Enjoy the company of interesting fellow
travelers, as active, sociable, and curious
about the world out there as you are. Many
lasting friendships began on a Cosmos tour. |
| • With a professional tour director you not
only see the sights, you learn about their
meaning as well — a stimulating and
enriching experience. |
| • Sharing a luxurious, fuel-efficient
motorcoach and the services of an
experienced driver with other travelers is
much more pleasant and ecologically sensible
than driving yourself. |
| • Who likes standing in lines? Because your
visit has been arranged months in advance,
your group will be ushered to the head of the
line at many popular attractions. |
| • A Cosmos tour is carefully planned to make
the best possible use of your time. A lifetime
of caring for people just like you has taught us
which sights and activities you enjoy most,
and how much free time you need to explore
on your own. |
| Once you've discovered the special advantages and delights of group touring, you'll never want to travel any other way again! |
Because the person you are most likely to
remember from your Cosmos experience is your
tour director, we go to great lengths to find and train
top professionals. Expect your Cosmos tour director
to be thoroughly knowledgeable, friendly, and
always eager to help you enjoy your vacation. |
Motorcoach travel beats any other way of
touring. You sit in a comfortable armchair high
above the road and traffic, looking out at some of
the world's most spectacular scenery, resting while
you're moving. A pleasant and fair custom on
Cosmos coaches is the daily rotation of seats,
giving everyone a variety of views. The driving is
left to a seasoned professional so that your tour
director is free to point out and explain the sights. |
For non-smokers and moderate smokers, an
otherwise perfect vacation can be spoiled if they
are forced to inhale other people's smoke on a
motorcoach. We therefore do not allow smoking on
the coach. There are plenty of opportunities to
smoke during the frequent stops. |
Imagine sharing these experiences with traveling companions from all over the world. Because Cosmos is a worldwide travel organization, we cater to an English-speaking clientele from more than 20 countries. There will probably be other people from home on your tour — but chances are, the majority of your fellow travelers will be a fascinating blend of people from far away places. They'll want to find out as much about your way of life as you will want to find out about theirs — and together you'll share the thrill of discovering North America. Cosmos' international client "mix" has two important traits: 1) everyone speaks English and the tours are conducted only in English; 2) all age groups are represented. We appeal to young couples, retirees, families with teenage children, young and middle-aged singles, in short, to people in general. Being cost-conscious is not restricted to one age category or nationality, but is prevalent everywhere. |
