ORIENT FLEXI-PAX PROGRAM TO MANILA, BORACAY & CEBU, INCLUDES AIR & SPECIAL BOHOL EXCURSION
NEW YORK, NY (July 8, 2009) – Orient Flexi-Pax Tours – a division of ISRAMWORLD – is offering special rates starting at only $2,819 per person for eight nights of Philippines Island Hopping through Dec. 31, 2009. This program includes international air from Los Angeles or San Francisco (add $130 for New York), adding even further value to a very special journey though Southeast Asia's most culturally unique and historically rich gems – the Philippines.
Featuring exquisite hotel accommodations for two nights at the Dusit Hotel Nikko in Metro Manila, three nights at the idyllic Waling Waling Resort in Boracay and three nights at Maribago Bluewater Resort (pictured right) in Cebu – in addition to international airfare, transportation within the Philippines and the USTOA $1 Million Travelers Assistance Program – this package offers unprecedented value and is a great starting point for first-time travelers to the country.
Manila is the cosmopolitan gateway to the 7,107 tropical islands of the country with much history to offer visitors, such as the “walled city” of Intramuros, dating back to the Spanish Colonial period. Boracay (pictured below) is a tropical beach haven beyond comparison, while Cebu, which features the second largest (and oldest) city in the Philippines, combines the setting of a historical city with the charm of a small island paradise.
Vacationers will enjoy half-day tours of Manila and Cebu in a private car with an English-speaking guide, and as a special bonus, Orient Flexi-Pax Tours is including a one-day excursion to Bohol, known for its old churches and breathtaking scenery. Highlights include the Chocolate Hills, which dry to a “chocolaty” brown during certain months to resemble miles and miles of oversized Hershey's Kisses, as well as an encounter with the world's smallest primate, the Philippine tarsier. Lunch and guide is included.
The Philippines Island Hopping package is priced from $2,819 per person, based on double occupancy, with international air from Los Angeles or San Francisco via Singapore Airlines through Dec. 31, 2009. The package is available from all major U.S. gateways, including New York (JFK) for an additional $130 per person. Contact Orient Flexi-Pax Tours for pricing from additional gateways throughout the U.S.
Rates include a $415 per person fuel surcharge, but do not include $60 per person in airport taxes/customs fees. Seasonal air and hotel supplement may apply. Prices are subject to change without notice.
