Travel in 2012 with the Montana Chamber to Israel,
China and Cuba

Over the next year, the Montana Chamber will be arranging a number of exciting tourism opportunities in some of the most thrilling locations around the world. Although many of these trips have elements of interest for people in the business world, the primary function of these trips is tourism.

First up will be a unique excursion to the island of Cuba. Over the past few years, travel restrictions to this country have been relaxed and Americans have slowly started to make their way to this Caribbean paradise. Dates for the trip are October 25 through November 2, 2012, and the cost is $3,299.

 

Next, the Montana Chamber continues its successful and enthralling tours of mainland China in October. This will be the fourth group our Chamber has taken. Past groups have returned with rave reviews of this very affordable adventure featuring so many interesting landmarks, experiences and sites. Dates for the trip are October 8-17, and the cost is a very affordable $2,099.

Finally, what better way to celebrate the holidays than a December trip to the Holy Land - Israel. On December 2nd through the 10th, the Montana Chamber will be shepherding a group of Big Sky tourists through some of the most historic areas in the world, including Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, Nazareth, Galilee, Capernaum, and modern Israeli cities like Tel Aviv. The cost is $2,759 (double occupancy rate) and includes airfare, hotels, many meals, and much more.
