THIS
IS OUR 38th year of arranging Bethel
Tour Vacations and visiting various Branch Offices
throughout the world on our Memory
Maker Vacations. Thousands of friends have enjoyed
our special group rates. You do not have to worry about where
to stay, what to see and how to get there. Let our tour escorts
do all the arranging while you relax. One of the highlights of
our tours is that “wherever possible” arrangements are made to
meet with the local Brothers and to visit some of the Worldwide
Branch Offices. These tours are not sponsored by the Society,
but are a private arrangement by Brothers and limited only to
Jehovah’s Witnesses and their relatives which means the best part
about our tours are your traveling companions. If you know of
someone else who would like to be on our mailing list, send their
name and address to us and we will mail them one of our Memory
Maker Vacations brochures.
If you would like to participate in one of our tours, you may
print out the reservation form from this website and enclose a
check or money order for a $250.00 deposit per person.
All reservations are accepted on a first come basis only. After
your deposit is received, you may charge the balance on any major
credit card. We apologize to anyone we were unable to accommodate
on our last tour dates to Bethel and on some of our other tours
because of being sold out. It is for this reason we are repeating
some programs, including our special Bibleland tours called “The
Exodus” and “Apostle Paul’s Journey.” To avoid disappointment,
we suggest making reservations NOW as
each year some tours are sold out months in advance. You can depart
from any U.S.A. or Canadian city, even if it is not listed. If
you desire not to participate in one of our programs, you may
want to give this website, www.betheltourvacations.com
to another friend who might be interested in one of our specialized
tours.
NOTE:
The prices quoted for each tour are for sample departure cities
and are based on airline availability. This means your reservation
must be received as soon as possible to obtain our lowest group
rates as our allotment of lowest priced seats sell-out first.
The cost from your hometown may be the same or less, so just let
us know which city you prefer to depart from and we will inform
you of the total cost. All balances are due 95 days before departure,
except where noted on your confirmation letter. If you need to
cancel, full refunds are made up to 95 days before the tour departs
less a handling fee of $50.00 per person. After that, we provide
you with optional travel insurance to obtain a refund until departure
day in case of illness. Prices are in effect as of
November 1, 2011; however, all prices are subject to change due
to taxes, land increases, airfare and fuel surcharges.
Due to the cost of jet fuel, airlines have a fuel surcharge on
all flights that fluctuates based on the price of oil. The prices
quoted on all of our tours include the fuel surcharge; however,
your reservation will be reviewed approximately 90 days prior
to departure to inform you if there is an additional fuel surcharge
or difference in any foreign currency exchange. Additional information
will be mailed to you with a written confirmation as soon as your
reservation is received. If you do not live in the U.S.A., you
can purchase a land only package and make your own airline reservations
to join any tour. Be sure to inform us of any change in your email
and mailing address so you'll receive our next listing of tours
in December 2012. Thank you for your interest and we look forward
to seeing you on one of our Memory
Maker Vacations.
