LET US HELP!!!

BEAT THE ECONOMY WITH ONCE IN A LIFETIME SAVINGS

$1,699 from New York 8 DAY SPECIAL

DECEMBER 1 – 8, 2009

Now is the time that we need and can help each other.  The economic downturn has taken away from some the ability to travel on some of the greatest pilgrimages to the Middle East, Europe, and surrounding areas.

We have taken 2 of our trips and put them back to 2004 prices.  All it takes is 5 paying passengers and you go free.

One of the best values today is jammed packed touring, 2 buffet meals daily (ALL YOU CAN EAT). Great hotels, airfare from New York and a life changing experiences No matter that travel deals are out there, this is still one that is the best dollar value.  All this for $1,699.00 Remember, you get a free trip with every 5 paying passengers."

Though the economy is tough, we know that many of your passengers are on a fixed income and can take advantage of the great savings. You are opening the opportunity for the last time, for them to get a reasonable cost that most people can afford.

Since 2004 we have seen the popularity of Holy Land pilgrimages going up and up. Today to find a trip that is less than $2,000 is very difficult. Here is the last opportunity. We may not be able to offer these kinds of prices ever again.

Most of you will want to build your own custom group tour. That is great. Take the advantage of the time and save on extra days. From November 15 to February 28, we will operate any trip based on these rates. For a free day in Israel add $75 per person for one night accommodation and breakfast and dinner. An additional day touring costs $112 per person (based on 35 passengers).

There are several major reasons to travel today. (Such as less crowded sites, ability to see more sites in a day, supporting Israel)

Due to the economy, the country will be less full. Times like these are great for you and the groups. Imagine having Disneyland half full. Imagine being able to go to a ride and board immediately. The Holy Land is no different. There are many places that there are waits that create a loss of time. For instance, it is not uncommon to wait 45 minutes to get on the cable car at Masada. You will be able to jump on and go. Imagine the ability to get Wadi Kelt, Jericho, Qumran, Ein Gedi, and Masada all in one day and still have time to swim in the Dead Sea. It is possible and only because you were able to offer the trip at a time you know is half-empty.

Another reason, is that you support and Pray for Israel. Under these trying times not only is America hurting, but Israel is hurting too. What better way to show support than coming and visiting them? You will have Israelis stop you in the street and thank you for coming. They know the cost it was for you to come and help them.

No tricks as these are the airlines, the hotels, the bus companies all stepping in to give you an opportunity to let your people buy a trip of a lifetime that they can afford. Nothing will be left out as these are direct savings to your people.

 Our pilgrimages are cost effective throughout the year. Call us and we will help you set up the ideal pilgrimage.

Maranatha Tours has three ways of putting together a tour.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR TOUR to your exact specifications.  Tour where and how you like.  You can build the cost on a large or a small group, with a minimal increase for the latter.  Other factors such as departure dates, length of tour, additional destinations, classification of hotels, site selection, specific guide requests and special times for study and devotion can be included in the planning of ‘your’ tour.

Join our CO-HOSTED TOUR.  Our popular Co-Hosted tours head for the Holy Land every March and October.  One of our experienced staff members is on board throughout, taking care of travel needs and making the tour much more enjoyable.

Join one of our frequently scheduled CONSOLIDATED TOURS, which allows you to travel at the cost of a larger group without having to recruit many travelers.  The Consolidated Tour operates on our 8-Day Holy Land program and is combinable with Egypt and a stop in Europe.  This is a great way to keep the tour cost at its lowest, yet travel anytime within the year.

At the suggested selling price, Maranatha Tours will provide one free trip for every five full-paying passengers.  There is no limit to the number of free trips which can be earned; however, the free trips must travel.  These trips are deducted from the final count so there is no waiting to receive your tour host benefits.  For each passenger not counted toward a free trip, Maranatha Tours gives cash benefit for 10 percent of the selling price.

P.S.  When you book your group with Maranatha Tours, we will send you a complimentary copy of the: HOLY LAND SATELLITE MAP    Taken 580 miles above the earth from the US LANDSAT-5 satellite, this photo map presents a striking panorama of the Holy Land from Eilat on the Red Sea, to Mount Hermon in the north, and from Amman, Jordan to the Mediterranean.  The true-color, high-resolution image presents a unique topographical perspective of the geography and relationship of biblical sites and modern cities.  The June 1995 issue of ‘National Geographic’ magazine contains an article utilizing the same images as represented on this satellite map.

Measuring 54" by 19", it is ready-to-frame and will be a valuable teaching tool and devotional aid, and a welcome addition to any study, den or library. 

In addition, as a tour incentive, we will provide this map for your passengers from whom we receive a reservation deposit in the first 60 days after your tour is booked. (One map per couple or family).  Additional maps are available for $15 each, including shipping and handling.  This is just one more of the promotional aids Maranatha Tours provides to help you make the tour a success.
