opean culture, cuisine and ever chang-
ing character. There’s nowhere quite
like it with non-stop action, bike riding
in France, skiing in Austria, hiking ina
green Swiss valley, and still so much
more. Castles on the Rhine, Tower of
London, Piazza San Marco, cruise
around a Greek isle and still more.
Contiki has a wide variety of programs
available, and if you are thinking of
going there, is no better way. All of
their passengers are between 18 and
35, young, adventurous, and deter-
mined to get the maximum enjoyment
out of Europe.

Contikis’ prices are great, every-
thing is included, so there are no
surprises once you arrive and it’s no
problem to stay a little longer.

New on the Contiki scene is Fiji,
with spectacular packages. You can
combine a cruise on the Tui Tai, a 140
foot schooner, and then venture deep
into Australia.

There’s never a dull moment in
Contiki$ New Zealand. Exciting activ-
ities and superb accommodations are
often exclusive to Contiki and the
action takes place all year round.

You'll even be able to ski for a few].

days on some itineraries. So, why not
make the most of the great outdoors
with Contiki. The only way to see New
Zealand.

By the time you reach Australia
you'll be ready for more action. It’s
not every day that you can cruise on an
exclusive yacht to explore a coral
island in the pacific, and still be back
in time for a party night out on the
town. Contiki’s Australia has
somethiing different happening every-
day with the sort of action and
adventure you won’t find on other
tours and probably wouldn’t find on
your own.

What is Contiki? Contiki is all
about young people having fun on a
budget. Enjoying different experi-
ences in different parts of the world.
As well as fabulous tours of Australia,
New Zealand, Fiji and Europe, they
also have a great range of holidays in
America all packed with exciting
things to do. So start thinking about
your holiday.

CLUB MED

Thirty years ago. A Rustic tent
village sprang up on the sundrenched
Island of Majorca, Spain. This simple
gathering of friends gave birth to a
concept which has touched the lives of
people around the world---Club
Mediterranee.

Since it’s origin in 1950, Club Med
has not allowed the spirit of that first
village to disappear. With increasing
pressures and schedules, demands
and aggravations, people need to get

. away to dream, to laugh,to play and to

share happy moments.
In Club Med’s present-day villages,

Of the country, its cultural heritage

and people.

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

‘calmed, your head clear, and your

 

 

restrictions and
replaced by freedom and spontaneity,
and worries about material and finan-
cial headaches are forgotten.

Club Med wakens the mind, the
body and sometimes, the heart. In a
warm atmosphere of a Club Med
village, friendships can flourish at the
dinner table, on the tennis courts, and
even during the evening show. It is not :
difficult to satisfy even the most
discriminating palate.

Have you ever heard of Turks and
Caicos? It’s a fabulous little string of
islands in the Carribean. Club Med
has just recently opened a new club
there. It’s remarkably remote and
romantic, with water so blue, they
named it Club Turkoise. Another
recent addition, a little closer to home
is Guaymas, in Mexico, with a full
variety of water sports, 30 tennis
courts, and the breathtaking scenery
of the Sierra Madre mountains.

Why a Club Med vacation?

Most people don’t just take a
vacation, they need one.

The everyday pressures of civiliza-
tion can build up to a state of
incredible agitation. The Club Med
vacation village offers a welcome relief
from the working world. No schedules

 

rules have been.

to live by, no budgets to adhere to and
no tipping either. Everything is includ-
ed in the price, which you pay before
you arrive. You'll have the opportunity
to enjoy an unequalled range of
sporting activities, to dine on ex-
quisitely prepared cuisine, and to be
entertained nightly, and to sleep
peacefully. By the time you bid the
Club farewell, your nerves will be

energy renewed.
CHINA

If the purpose of travel is the
discovery of the unknown then China
is the final destination.

This ancient civilization, this land of
unrivalled beauty with its people
numbering one quarter of the earths
total has long been an enigma to the
rest of the world.

Today it is possible for the visitor to
witness all aspects of Chinese life,
from tours of museums and historical
monuments, to mountain climbing in
Tibet, and encounters with local
people. This truly is a country of
kaleidoscopic sights and sounds.

The number of destinations open to
travellers within China has increased
from 40 in 1976 to over 200 in 1984. As
a travel destination, China is far more
than a country of attractions, and with
