Incoming tourist receipts will increase in 2004 as a result, up by 12% on 2003. The recovery in 2004 will, however, be partial and, compared to 2002, the number of arrivals will be 5% lower in 2004. The recovery of incoming tourist receipts was weaker due to a fall in average receipts per visitor and, in 2004, total incoming receipts are forecast to be more than 8% lower than in 2002. Similarly, outbound tourism is expected to see a partial recovery in 2004. The number of departures will increase by 16.5%, taking the total to 6.9 million outgoing visitors, 6% fewer than in 2002. Outgoing expenditure will rise by 10% in 2004, bringing the total to NT$333.8 billion, 6.5% less than in 2002. Outgoing tourist expenditure will see a stronger rebound than incoming tourist receipts as average spending per outgoing visitor is expected to fall less in 2004 than incoming receipts per visitor. The introduction of the 2-day weekend and the "Civil Travel Card" continues to push market sales growth in the domestic tourism industry. Food and spas are the two most important elements in domestic tourism for local tourists. Over the 1999-2004 period the internet increased its importance in the overall tourism industry, from an information provider to a comprehensive platform for all travel-related needs, including booking and purchasing, espceially for airline tickets, accomodation, car rental, major attractions and a variety of holiday packages. The combination of price competition for outbound travel and the increasing number of incoming travellers has helped to narrow the balance of tourism payments over the review period. The deficit reached its highest point in 2000 at over NT$226 million, and narrowed to NT$173.5 million in 2003, its lowest point. Political instability, contagious diseases and natural disasters have impacted directly on Taiwan and caused immediate damage to the travel and tourism industry over the review period. The presidential election in early 2004 and the following conflicts between the two leading parties resulted in a sharp decline in the number of domestic trips, with most tourist attractions suffering as a result. The SARS outbreak in 2003 led to huge vacancy levels in hotels and shortfalls in airline bookings. Furthermore, a devastating typhoon in the third quarter of the year resulted in a booking rate of less than 20% in affected areas during the peak season. Private accommodation is the fastest-growing travel accommodation type in Taiwan in both number of outlet terms and value sales terms. The overwhelming popularity of private accommodation over the review period threatened other travel accommodation operators. Such strong competition has led many large players to restructure their business operations and to upgrade facilities in recent years. Themed rail trips and pre-booked packages offered by airline companies are gaining in popularity. The number of trips taken using land transport made what was already the largest area also the fastest growing. Sales generated by bus/coach, however, are growing slowly, due to high car ownership levels and price competition among bus/coach operators. Two leading players in the car rental market, Kaplus Co Ltd and Hotai Leasing & Rental Co, account for over 50% of total market sales. Both companies have adopted aggressive marketing campaigns both in advertising and through forming strategic alliances. Online travel retailers are one of the most important areas in e-commerce and the fastest-growing travel retailer type since 1999. EzTravel is the most dynamic player in the travel and tourism industry with an aggressive approach to forming strategic alliances. Car rental and travel retail are expected to fuel sales growth for Taiwans travel and tourism industry over the forecast period. While internet transactions are forecast to grow healthily into 2009.

We begin in cosmopolitan Vladivostok, where we sample a vast collection of historical, cultural and natural wonders. We cross over from the mainland to Sakhalin, offering a picture of soviet style villages and towns settled between verdant sloping mountains, fast running rives and magnificent lakes. The main portion of our time will be spend on Kunashir Island, the "black pearl" offering a multitude of one of a kind natural experiences, after which we visit charming and visually attractive Khabarovsk. For detailed information see our details on the Sakhalin Region . Giving the Ancient a Modern Voice - Discover ancient rites and traditions of Russian Far East native cultures, August 2, 2004 As our lives in our western culture become more and more centered on technology, we realize that we are loosing our innate wisdom connected to our natural environment. At the same time indigenous cultures in Russia are trying to retain their ancient rites and traditions to anchor their culture and to instill in the younger generation a clear sense of identity. Sharing our lives may perhaps gives us both the right way to reestablish ourselves drawing from nature that which is our essence. We will visit with Even, Koryak and Ittlmen women during the International Aboriginal Day in Anavgai in Kamchatka. We will then return to the Khabarovski Krai, which has the largest number of native cultures in Russia. There we will share our thoughts with the Orochi, Nanai and Udeghe people when we visit their individual villages. This trip includes travel by local transportation and living locally adapting to the ways of the local people. You need to be extremely flexible, be in excellent health and have the ability to withstand long road trip. Some of our travel will be by helicopter. Arrival and departure point is Khabarovsk. All transportation including local flights or helicopter transportation is included. Itinerary will be posted shortly.

What is Travel Insurance? Travel insurance protects a traveler's vacation cost against cancellation and interruption while also providing medical, lost or damaged property and travel delay coverage. Travelers are reimbursed if they have to cancel or interrupt their travel, they are also covered should the need arise for emergency medical treatment, medical evacuation and a number of other situations. Travel insurance can be broken down into the following major categories: Trip Cancellation – Reimburses travelers unable to take their trip d ue to Illness or death (of the traveler or a family member), weather, airline strikes, terrorism, bankruptcy, becoming unemployed, jury duty or their home being rendered uninhabitable due to fire/flood etc. Trip Interruption – Reimburses travelers if they have to cut short their trip due to Illness or death (of the traveler or a family member), weather, airline strikes, terrorism, bankruptcy, becoming unemployed, jury duty or their home being rendered uninhabitable due to fire/flood etc. Medical/Health – Reimburses medical and emergency dental costs. Almost all travel insurance plans work by reimbursing the traveler after they have paid locally for treatment. Claims are usually paid within 7 to 10 days. Pre-Existing conditions are covered by most policies if the policy is purchased within (at the most) 21 days from the date the traveler made the first trip payment (deposit). Medical Evacuation – Provides emergency transportation to either a local hospital in the event the traveler is unable to get there by themselves or back to a hospital near the travelers home. If family members are covered on the same policy they can return home also. Accidental Death – This coverage is split into 3 parts – Air Flight Accident – Covers death or dismemberment during an air flight only. Usually provides the highest amount of coverage due to a lower risk. Common Carrier – Covers death or dismemberment while traveling on public transport such as, plane, ferry, train, bus or taxi. Accidental Death – Covers death or dismemberment at any time on your trip. Usually provides the lowest amount of coverage due to a higher risk. Travel Delay – Reimburses travelers for hotel, food or clothing expenses in the event of a flight delay. Some plans also cover costs associated with catching up to a cruise should a delay cause the traveler to miss embarkation. Baggage Loss – Reimburses travelers for lost, stolen or damaged personal items. This coverage is usually for the duration of the trip and not confined to baggage damaged or lost by the airline. There are two policy limits, total claim and per item maximum. Some policies also place limits on the type of items that can be claimed for such as jewelry, laptops and sporting goods. Rental Car Damage – Reimburses travelers for damage or loss to a rental vehicle. It is designed to allow the traveler to decline CDW (collision damage waiver) coverage offered by the car rental companies. Liability coverage should still be purchased through the car rental company. Rental Car Damage coverage is also often included with the credit card used to pay for the car rental which is often identical to the coverage provided in the policy. Assistance Services – Provides a 24 hour collect call advice and assistance service to travelers. This service can be used anytime a traveler needs advice.
