Overseas Adventure Travel Reduces Prices On 7 Popular Land Adventures for 2012 - Guarantees Lowest Price

BOSTON, Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Harriet R. Lewis, co-chair of Overseas Adventure Travel, the leader in small group travel for Americans over 50, today announced that the company has reduced prices of seven popular land adventures for 2012, with savings up to $650 per person or $1300 per couple.  Because OAT offers a Lowest Price Guarantee on all of its 2012 land adventures, every traveler currently booked on an adventure that is later reduced in price is receiving an immediate retroactive refund—even up to the day of departure.

"We're literally putting our money where our mouth is when we promise our travelers that they'll pay the lowest price on our land adventures," said Lewis. "We stand to lose about $2.5 million next year with our price guarantee, but we want to alleviate the concerns of early bookers that they'll miss out on any last minute price reductions.  Not only will early bookers continue to have first choice of destinations and departure dates, they'll also receive immediate refunds in the difference in price if we later lower the trip's cost.  We already offer the best value in the industry, so these savings present an exceptional opportunity."

While OAT guarantees best pricing on each of its 28 Land Adventures for 2012, it has reduced pricing on the following seven Land Adventures.  Every OAT adventure includes international airfare (or travelers can make their own air arrangements, if desired), accommodations, transportation, most meals, sightseeing, unique cultural activities, exclusive services of an expert OAT Trip Leader, and more.
