USTOA Consumer Protection Plan
Qantas Vacations has been in business profitably since 1985. Qantas
Vacations is licensed in California and a member of the United States Tour
Operators Association (USTOA). As such we have posted a USD$1 million bond,
payable to USTOA for consumer protection, in the unlikely event of the company’s
bankruptcy. This USD$1 million consumer protection bond covers all customers of
Qantas Vacations, including citizens of Canada and other nations.

Benefit from experience
It is comforting to know that this selection of vacations is offered through Australia and New Zealand’s most experienced land-tour operators—experience that brings many satisfied customers back time and again for more.
‘Luxury—from seat to seat
We all know that traveling can be a pleasure, but
it can also be a backbreaking experience. Qantas Airways knows that seat
comfort is one of the most important aspects of any long-haul flight,
which is why they have installed ergonomically-designed seats in all
aircraft to provide the best possible comfort during the flight.
Traveling on land should be no different. In most cases, luxury touring
coaches are utilized. Each coach features individually-controlled
reclining seats with ample leg room for superb touring comfort. For
convenience, most vehicles come equipped with toilet and washroom
facilities and drinking water dispensers.
Traveling alone?
Twin share guarantee: Prices quoted in this
brochure are per person, based on two people sharing a room. For
singles, this often means extra expense when the single supplement
surcharge is applied. If you want to avoid these additional charges, we
feature several tours where we will endeavor to match you with another
single traveler of the same sex. Please ask for details.
Select-a-vacation … à la carte
We are excited to be able to offer you an exclusive
range of vacation options designed to cater to every taste. From those
who want to enjoy the ultimate in fully-escorted service, to those just
wanting a day trip or a weekend outing with a group, we have the
vacation to suit your needs. By including a range of short-duration
vacations to allow maximum freedom and flexibility, we’ve also catered
for independent travelers who want to join a group for a particular
sightseeing expedition.
Stay an extra day … or two
To allow for leisurely and relaxed touring, we have included many stays
of two or even three nights in some cities to give you time to relax and
soak in the beauty and splendor of these places. Most travelers find
these mini-stops invaluable, and not having to pack each day comes as a
welcome break.
Food, glorious food
Where meals are included in the price, you will
start each day with a superb, fullycooked breakfast, or you can choose
from a selection of lighter alternatives. Dinners consist of varied,
multiple-choice menus, superb buffets or even special dining options.
Visitors to Queensland, for example, will sample some of the best
seafood in the world, and those traveling to the Northern Territory will
have the chance to taste local delicacies such as kangaroo. In many
cases, lunch is not provided, leaving you free to explore and experience
other local fare.
In the know
One of the best reasons for choosing a group tour is the fact that you can sit back, relax and enjoy being hosted by some of the most experienced and knowledgeable coach captains and tour directors in the world. All members of the crew are proud to call Australia or New Zealand home and will ensure your vacation is memorable.
Best product, best prices
Prices for some of the vacations featured in this
brochure are fully-inclusive and cover accommodation, meals,
sightseeing, entrance fees and cruises. We have even included some
service fees and porterage charges (one piece of luggage per person per
hotel). Gratuities are also included for all meal services included in
the itinerary. Tipping of your tour director and driver isn’t included.
If you feel they have done an excellent job while on tour, a token of
your thanks is always appreciated. Not included are things of a personal
nature: laundry, drinks, telephone and fax charges, visa and passport
fees, immunizations, meals not specified, and any foreign or domestic
