South Africa, New Zealand, India and Egypt

Hot off the press this week, this up-to-date brochure is full of old favourites including trips to South Africa, New Zealand, India and Egypt.

But just look what Travelscope has added to its list of exciting destinations. Head to the largest of the Caribbean islands, Cuba, where fabulous beaches, crystal-clear waters and a rich heritage and culture await you; soak up the sun in breathtaking Brazil, or spot rare and exotic wildlife in their natural habitat on a grand safari in Kenya.

They are all here and more in this glossy colour brochure which showcases 15 holidays taking in some of the world's most impressive sights at unbeatable prices.

Imagine travelling at 160mph by Bullet Train in Tokyo, exploring the Imperial Palace and visiting sacred Mount Fuji. These are just some of the highlights of the holiday to Japan departing in October and November 2005 and February and March 2006 . Prices start at £999 for eight days and include four star hotel accommodation, return scheduled flights and a full touring itinerary.

If you prefer China, there's the popular Classic China covering Peking, Shanghai and the Terracotta Warriors. Mr Waddington from York went on this trip last November and was full of praise for Travelscope.

"It was the best holiday I have ever had," he said. "It was a wonderful tour - the food, organisation, hotels, everything - I couldn't fault it."

If you want to book Classic China, there are departures available in November and December 2005 and February, March and November 2006.

The holiday costs from £799 per person for nine days and the price includes return scheduled flights to Shanghai, seven nights' hotel accommodation including stays in Shanghai, Xi'an and Peking, a full touring itinerary, full board including a Peking Duck dinner on one evening, all internal flights and transfers and the services of an experienced Tour Manager and Chinese National Guide in China.
