Rewards Programme

We are very grateful to those of you who have sent through names and contact details of friends who you think might be interested in our tours.  Thus we would now like to announce a Rewards Programme.  Starting from March 2007, every new subscriber that you introduce, who actually travels on an Alumni Travel tour, will win you $250 ($500 for a couple). This can be taken either in the form of cash or as a discount on any of your own future Alumni Travel tours. This reward is a one-off payment per every new member introduced.  But you are eligible for it again if you introduce another one of your friends, who joins us and travels. To add the name of a friend to our mailing list, please click here and email their contact details to us.
 

Frequent Traveller Incentive Programmer

To reward your loyalty over the 21 years of our existence, when you travel on another international Alumni Travel tour, booking directly with us (ie, not via a travel agent), the following applies:

2nd Tour: $150 per person discount
3rd Tour: $250 per person discount
4th Tour: 4% per person off the basic tour cost
5th Tour: 5% per person off the basic tour cost
6th-9th Tour: As for 5th tour
10th Tour (and each tour thereafter): 10% off basic tour cost

This discount only applies on tours that have the Alumni Travel logo.  It cannot apply to tours we organize for other institutions.
 

Future Tour Plans

Alumni Travel offers a range of absorbing study tours to various destinations.  We try to complete the tour brochure at least 12 months before the tour is due to depart.  Unfortunately there are times when this is not possible, owing to delays with information from either airlines, local tour operators or other factors such as performance schedules.

To view a complete list of tours for which brochures are available, please click here and then select the relevant tour name for further details.

Alternatively click here for a list of tours that we have planned for the upcoming year, but as yet a brochure has not been completed.  Register your interest in the tour and as soon as details have been completed a brochure will be automatically sent out to you.
 

Independent Travellers

Alumni Travel can prepare individual itineraries for individuals and small groups using our range of travel associates in Southeast Asia, China, India, Turkey, Central Asia and Europe.  Quotes can include private touring and local guides.
