2006 Exploratory Brochure - Horizon & Co.

Classic Series vs. Exploratory SeriesWE CREATED THE CLASSIC SERIES AND EXPLORATORY SERIES AS A DEVICE, A SORT OF PHILOSOPHICAL LITMUS TEST, TO HELPPEOPLE CHOOSE BETWEEN DIFFERENT STYLES OF TRAVEL AND COMMUNITIES OF TRAVELLERS. ONE CHOICE IS NEITHER BETTERNOR WORSE THAN THE OTHER – THEY ARE MERELY DIFFERENT, REFLECTING THE FACT THAT ALL TRAVELLERS HAVEUNIQUE HOPES AND ASPIRATIONS. WE BELIEVE THE ART OF GREAT TRAVEL COMPANIES IS IN MATCHING THE HOPES ANDASPIRATIONS OF THEIR TRAVELLERS TO THE REALITIES OF THE ROAD AND THE TEMPERAMENT OF THEIR COMPANIONS.CLASSIC SERIESEXPLORATORY SERIESIf you are over 65, value-conscious, risk-averse,culturally-curious and group-travel oriented,then our CLASSIC SERIES of escorted small grouptrips may be the perfect solution.
