USITT Theatre-Dance-Costume
Study Tour
To Southeast Asia
(Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam)

December 26, 2005– January 11, 2006

This Southeast Asian theatre, dance and costume tour is designed to entertain, inspire and educate. You will have many experiences which you will not encounter on any tourist tour—this is a custom-designed tour specifically for theatre design and production professionals and educators.  You will also see some of the Wonders of the World, such as the King’s Palace, Angkor Wat, and much more.

The disastrous tsunami will have no effect on the tour which will not visit any of the areas affected by this tragedy. Tourism and study tours like this one can help this area recover from the devastation they have endured.

The tour will be led by Dick Durst, Tours Coordinator for the International Committee of USITT. The tour will be accompanied by English-speaking guides throughout the journey. Dick and a representative of Mongol Tours will be at the USITT Conference in Toronto and look forward to discussing the tour with anyone intrigued with this exceptional opportunity to visit Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

A daily itinerary (with more photographs of tour stops) is on a separate page.

Deluxe Class is somewhere between Economy and Business Class. The seat is bigger, more leg room, an individual TV screen on each seat, the food is a little better, etc. We highly recommend the Deluxe as well worth the money for the long flight.
