DEAR MUSIC EDUCATOR:
EDUCATIONAL TRAVEL TOURS,
INC. specializes in student tours and for the past 22 years has arranged for
thousands of students to travel to a variety of destinations by air or motorcoach.
If you are contemplating a
trip for 2003/2004 to a MUSIC FESTIVAL COMPETITION, BOWL GAME, CRUISE, or SIMPLY A
PERFORMANCE BY YOUR BAND OR CHOIR, we can assist you with all phases of your
arrangements. A partial listing of programs and destinations is enclosed, however, we can
assist you with any destination which you are considering.
At the present time,
airfares are competitive and are reminiscent of 4 to 5 years ago. If your trip involves
flying to your destination, early planning will enable you to take advantage of this. Many
of our groups traveling to the Orlando area are staying at the WALT
DISNEY WORLDŽ Resort, thus, enhancing their stay immensely and at moderate prices,
however, these accommodations must be booked early.
ORLANDO is still
one of our most popular programs and best bargains, other areas such as Williamsburg,
Virginia Beach, Boston, Toronto, and Los Angeles remain popular destinations. A more
complete listing is enclosed.
Our past experiences with
high school music organizations indicate that many groups prefer additional activities,
attractions, meals, and services which require a special expertise in designing a totally
customized program to fill each entire day's schedule. If you will contact us, we will
assist you in planning the ideal combination of destinations, performance opportunities,
educational activities, attractions, travel arrangements and lodging to meet your needs.
Our "BUILD A PACKAGE PHILOSOPHY" is individually tailored to
meet the special requests of your group.
We know that you will be
pleased with the services of our experienced on-site tour personnel who is solely
responsible to your group. In order for such a trip to be successful, this personal,
individualized service is an absolute necessity and a service to which you are entitled.
Many of the finest bands and
choirs in the area have traveled with us and we hope that you will CONTACT US FOR
REFERENCES to obtain their reaction to our programs and services. We will also
provide the opportunity for you to preview hotels, attractions, performance sites, and
other areas of interest.
We would welcome the
opportunity to meet with you and your parent's association to discuss our programs,
services, and organization. Upon receipt of an itinerary, agenda, or trip specifications,
we will submit a proposal for your consideration.
We sincerely appreciate your taking the time to review this correspondence and we hope that we have the opportunity to meet with you. Best wishes for a pleasant and successful year and WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU!
Sincerely,
Richard D. Leber
President
