It's a "New World of Travel" because the immense array of alternative vacations are totally different from the standard sightseeing trips to which most travelers have been limited in the past. Today, hundreds of alternative travel opportunities -- adventures of the mind, learning vacations in the broadest sense, in every field from politics to art and crafts -- are being offered to persons of all ages and incomes. As enthusiastically described by Arthur Frommer and his daughter Pauline Frommer, these are vacation trips that aren't always advertised or sold through traditional travel channels. This thoroughly up-to-date version includes summer studies in Oxford, Cambridge, Cornell and St. John's, volunteer vacations, week-long immersions in yoga and meditation, trips to locations rarely visited by standard tour operators, folk-dance camps, stays with private families, hospitality exchanges, camping, hiking and bicycling trips, diet and weight-reduction centers, careers in travel, summer camps for adults, RV trips, brainy tours, travel for students and seniors -- and countless more, of every description. Previous editions of this colorfully-written and classic book went through five successive and revised editions, proving that "alternative vacations" are among the fastest-growing segments of travel.
