Why, out of the myriad of trips offered, should you consider World Affairs Council travel programs? These trips offer all the highlights of touring plus access to political leaders and other local experts who give behind-the-scenes views and briefings that make our trips special and unique. We have established connections around the globe that allow us to offer members access that they can't get when traveling alone or on other tours.

Travel Ban on Libya Lifted:
WAC Trips Planned

The World Affairs Council of Philadelphia runs a travel program for world affairs councils around the nation. They have some of the first tours to enter Libya. Two cruises are scheduled for 2005, with a substantive land-based program combining briefings and cultural highlights also planned.

Call us at 776.1721 or email to wacwm@iserv.net if you wish to receive further information.

We now have several members who have taken WAC Philly trips to various places (Antarctica; the Baltics; and the Insiders Washington tour). All report that the tours are well organized; a great value and the fellow travelers are wonderful (they’re world affairs council members, just like you!). You will receive mailings from them throughout the year
