NETC 2012 Educational Tour Catalog

Unique, Enriched, Educational Travel

Near the top of Fan Brycheniog, above Llyn y Fan Fawr. The Romans arrived in this beautiful region of Mid Wales in 48AD and much evidence of their occupation, including roads, forts, and a recently-discovered villa, remains.

You will definitely see out-of-the-way places on an NETC trip, and you won’t have to climb mountains to do so! Whether you are new to our organization or an old friend, there is much to be excited about.

Did you know that NETC is the only organization founded on the principle of experiential education? LEAP! is at the heart of everything we do.

The service and support we provide our teachers is exciting, too. So are our safe, centrally located hotels and authentic food. But rather than hearing

it from me, why not chat with some teachers who travel with NETC regularly? Your colleagues are by far our best sales people, and we’ll be happy to put you in touch.

If you are ready to change some lives in 2012, so are we. Let’s do it together, and let’s do it right!

Kind regards, Desmond MaguireFounder and President

Welcome!

Why Do I Take My Students Abroad?

“To travel the world is to live history, to meet different peoples and to share their art and culture. Traveling with students adds a youthful sense of wonder, excitement and energy that enriches the experience.

“Traveling with NETC brings quality and value to each and every day, enthusiastic tour guides, well-organized itineraries, fun LEAP! activities and safe and secure travel procedures. NETC is absolutely the BEST educational travel company!”

Sue Thorpe, Art teacher, MD

Why Pay More?To Protect Your ReputationParents rely on your judgment to ensure hotels in safe environments with easy access to local attractions, and meals that are both satisfying and authentic.

Because It’s About Value, Not PriceParents don’t just want the cheapest tour, they want the best value and the best educational experience for their children. Wouldn’t you?

Safe, Central Hotels Three and four star central hotels are near transportation and sights. Students can safely explore the hotel neighborhood in small groups and practice their language skills in local stores and markets. And no long commutes means more time in the places you came to see.

After a good night’s sleep in a comfortable hotel, students are well-rested and ready to go. And so are you! Head teachers/group leaders enjoy a private room.

See examples of hotels online atwww.EducationalTravel.com/Hotels

Food for ThoughtWe fire the students up each morning with a continental, often buffet-style, breakfast which can include croissants, pastries, bread, fruit, cereals, meats and cheeses, as well as milk, juice, coffee, tea or hot chocolate.

Dinners are three courses and plentiful. Menus are varied and representative of the local culture. NETC selects a different restaurant each evening so students can become familiar with the city’s various districts, each with its own traditions and attractions.

Sample restaurant menus are available online at www.EducationalTravel.com/Menus

To Ensure Excellent Educational OutcomesEach experience, each interaction and each discovery stays with the students for a lifetime. First impressions of friendly staff, safe neighborhoods, authentic food and the freedom to explore familiar areas mean open minds, primed for learning!

Concierge Service“NETC truly cares about their leaders and their travelers and immediately connects with them on a personal level,” says Karen Crigler, a teacher from Louisiana. Thanks, Karen, we could not have said it better!

Support When You Need It Most!The best solution to any problem is to anticipate and prevent it. And we do. But we always expect the unexpected as well!

So when you’re traveling and a winter storm hits, or an unexpected strike happens, NETC is there, 24/7, at home and abroad, finding solutions and taking care of your group. You can count on it.

NETC Education: In a Class of Our OwnLEAP! = Learning through Exploration and Active ParticipationMuch more than just activities, LEAP! is the entire relationship between each student, the places they encounter, and their NETC Tour Director acting as a cultural mediator. Students are engaged, active learners and challenged to think critically throughout the program.

LEAP! is a methodology developed by education professionals, based on Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, the philosophy of constructivism and the synthesis of the transmission, transaction, and transformational approaches to learning.

Tour Directors ~ Only NETC Tour Directors are LEAP!-trained!They understand how students learn, how to include and engage each of them in their own way, and how

to help them to think critically and creatively. NETC Tour Directors create dynamic learning environments that turn a sightseeing tour into a vibrant learning experience.

NETC Tour Directors are with the group in the daytime and also in the evenings, lead-ing walking tours and other activities and offering a host of suggestions for exploration and discovery. They stay in the same hotel as the group every night.

Middle School Discovery ProgramsNETC is introducing a series of

Discovery Programs which are

exclusively for middle school groups.

These can be found on pages 7-11

of this catalog.

7 Late Payments (Does not apply to EZpay)You may view your account online at My NETC at any time. Please allow reasonable time for pay-ments to be processed. You are responsible for ensuring all payments are made on time.

If payments are not received on time, late fees and automatic cancellation will be applied as follows: If a minimum total payment of $515, in addition to the Cancellation Protection Plus fee (if selected) has not been received 30 days after your initial application, you will forfeit any applicable early enrollment discount.

11 Returned PaymentsA $75 fee will apply for any returned payments. Payments cannot be re-presented to the bank.

12 EZpay PlanThere is no cost for the EZpay Plan which is avail-able to all participants at any time earlier than 200 days prior to departure.

The payment amounts are calculated by dividing the outstanding balance of your account into equal 30 day installments, starting 30 days after

the date of your enrollment in the plan, and end-ing on the latest date that is between 95 and 65 days prior to departure.

If you miss a payment (insufficient funds, account closed, etc.) you will be notified by email. The amount of the missed payment, plus the returned check fee of $75 must be received before the next installment is due. If the missed payment is within 120 days of departure you must also include a $200 late fee. If the delinquent payment is not re-ceived you will revert to the regular payment plan.

If your Tuition or balance due changes for any reason (other than a missed payment), or if you make a one-time payment, the remaining pay-ments will be automatically adjusted. You will be notified of any changes by email.

If you wish to drop out of the EZpay Plan you may do so at any time by informing NETC in writing. You will then revert to the regular pay-ment plan described in 6 & 7 .

Customization and Other InformationOptional excursionsWhen all members of a group enroll in an optional excursion, each will qualify for the Group Rate, which is a $10 discount from the Individual Rate. Additional participants joining the group later must also purchase the optional excursion and will receive the $10 discount. Please note that the pric-es for optional excursions on the program pages show the discounted Group Rate. All members of a group must be enrolled in the optional excursion at time of full payment to remain qualified for the discount. The deadline for Group optional excursion enrollment is 60 days prior to departure. Prices for optional excursions and activities are based on rates published for the year you travel, regardless of the date you enrolled.

NETC reserves the right to cancel your optional trip extension, extra day option, and optional field trips if participation is inadequate or for other operational reasons. In this instance, NETC will refund the payment for the cancelled optional service, which will be its sole liability.

Optional program extensionsAdvertised optional program extensions must be selected by the entire group. A minimum of 15 paying participants is required to operate an op-tional extension, and NETC may combine groups from different institutions to achieve this number. With a minimum of 15 paying participants in your own group, you may request a special program extension on any tour.

As a group, you may also elect to add extra days to any itinerary. For a group of 15 or more paying participants, these extra days include the service of a Tour Director, breakfast and dinner daily, hotel accommodations, and airport transfers. Extra days are available in major European cities in-cluding, but not limited to: London, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Berlin and Costa del Sol. Prices for extra days are based on our applicable rates published in the year you travel, regardless of the date you enrolled.

All extensions and extra days must be taken on a whole-group basis, cannot be selected or can-celled within 120 days prior to departure, or if you have already received NETC confirmation of your group flight itinerary, and must be paid for by the final payment deadline.

Extended stay/different departure city/booking your own flightsIf you wish to return from a different city from the group, return on a different date, or if you wish to make your own flight arrangements, go to My NETC and click Tour Documents to download the PDF file Travel Options. Follow the instruc-tions on the appropriate form and mail to NETC. NETC must receive this form no later than 100 days prior to departure. Service fees apply as described on the forms.

Participants flying separately from the group are responsible for making their own way to/from the first/last hotel of the tour, at their own expense and unsupervised. NETC personnel will not be available to assist them.Your departure date and itineraryGroup travel requires a certain amount of flex-ibility in order to offer quality programs at the lowest rates possible. For operational reasons, and to meet the numbers required to qualify for group rates, NETC reserves the right to make the follow-ing changes, which will not constitute grounds for a refund: a. Change in departure date (not to exceed 2 days

on a program leaving between November 1 and April 30). Every effort will be made to limit changes in departure dates for groups leaving between May 1 and October 31, to fewer than 10 days. (Please note: NETC is not responsible for individual arrangements that conflict with the date reassignment.)

b. Changes in itinerary, including reversing the itinerary, and changes to the order in which cities or countries are visited, the duration of the stay in each city, addition and omission of cities or countries. Participants, including those enrolled in Cancellation Protection Plus, will be charged the Tuition applicable to the revised itinerary.

c. Omission, alteration, and/or substitution of services may be necessary due to scheduled or unscheduled closures, holidays, or strikes, or for reasons beyond NETC’s control. Whenever possible, suitable alternatives will be provided.

d. Change in Teacher/Group Leader assignment.e. NETC usually combines a number of smaller

groups from different institutions to form a larger group. It may therefore be necessary to reassign your group to a tour deemed compa-rable by NETC. The Tuition and other charges will be those applicable to the new tour.

f. Change in departure or arrival city/cities Please note that JFK, Newark, and LaGuardia are used interchangeably as the airport for New York or Newark departures. Reagan National, Washington Dulles, and Baltimore Washington Int’l are used interchangeably as the airport for Washington, D.C., or Baltimore departures

NETC will notify your Teacher/Group Leader of any changes to your program. If you wish to cancel due to the changes described in this section, you will be subject to the Cancellation policy outlined in “Cancellation”. You must notify NETC in writing.

If NETC cancels your programNETC reserves the right to cancel a program due to insufficient enrollment, or for operational rea-sons. In the event that we are unable to provide a substitute program, you will receive a full refund. This is NETC’s sole liability.

NETC shall have the right, at any time at its discretion, and without liability or cost therefore, to cancel any tour prior to the departure date, or the remainder of a tour in progress, or make an alteration in route, accommodation, price, time of travel, or any other arrangement, in the event of any tours being rendered impossible or inadvisable by weather, strikes, war (declared or undeclared), civil unrest, acts of God, government order or advice, disease, terrorist activity, or any cause whatsoever that is beyond NETC’s control. Any and all expenses incurred as a result thereof shall be the responsibility of the participant. If a program is cancelled by NETC for the reasons described in this paragraph, you will be subject to the standard Terms and Conditions as outlined in “Cancellation”.

Your customized itineraryIf a group planning a special customized itinerary has a lower enrollment than projected by the Teacher/Group Leader, NETC will increase your Tuition accordingly. Alternatively, the group may transfer to an available catalog program (if available) up to 120 days prior to departure. Participants will be responsible for the Tuition in the corresponding season, plus any other costs associated with the selected catalog program.

AdultsNETC tours involve a great deal of walking, and are unsuitable for participants who have difficulty walking or carrying baggage, or who require special assistance. Adults are welcome, but should consider carefully whether this active, learning-centered itinerary, suits their travel needs.

The Adult SupplementNETC’s published Tuition is based on student discounted rates. The Adult Supplement covers a double-room guarantee and the higher cost of transportation and entrance fees associated with participants 24 years and older (on the last day of the program). The Adult Supplement, over and above the Tuition, is $50 per day ($70 per day on cruises). In the event that a double room is not available on a given night and you are required to share a triple, a refund of $45 will be made upon receipt of a written request to NETC within 10 days of your return to the United States. This re-fund applies to hotel and cruise nights only. Single and Double accommodations are not available on trains and ferries. If at the time you enroll you do not have a companion with whom you can share a double room, you will be required to pay a single-room supplement of $80 for each hotel night, in addition to the Adult Supplement of $50 per day. If you are subsequently able to find a roommate, at least 75 days prior to your departure, the single supplement will be refunded.

“I take my students abroad because I believe there is no substitute for seeing in person, the things they learn about in class.

“I travel with NETC because they have exceptional tour directors, hotels and meals. They are very ac-commodating. Whatever your travel needs, they will find a way to make it work. I’ve been with them for 13 years and I would never go anywhere else.”

Veronica Murphy (left), Art teacher, NY

“It took only one NETC trip to realize we weren’t sightseeing, but truly experiencing the countries.

I have chosen NETC to organize all my trips. From experience, I know NETC will give me the best price, without cutting corners. I want my students to stay in safe, clean, centrally located hotels, and have good, quality food. The great LEAP! activities and the marvelous tour directors separate NETC from other student travel companies and give my students wonderful memories.”

Steve Lykes (left), History teacher, OK

“The hotel locations, great food (plenty for hungry stu-dents!) at very nice restaurants, excellent tour guides and friendly personnel in Boston make NETC superior in their field and a rare example of getting MORE than you pay for. NETC has exceeded my expectations time and time again. There are countless special moments packed into an NETC tour that touch my students’ lives forever.”

Karen Crigler (second from right), Teacher, LA

Why Do I Take My Students Abroad?

• The LEAP! activities • Dependability • Excellent customer service • Quality of the tours • Fantastic guides • Hotels in great locations • Everyone in my group returns with such admiration and awe of what they’ve experienced.
