Brazil Travel News 10 - 2000

Dear fellow Brazil travelers,

Winter in the northern hemisphere is fast approaching. Isn't it time to plan for an escape right now? You know which country we propose...

Considering the heating costs this Winter, the fuel savings alone could pay for your trip! Visit us at http://www.SouthAmerica.travel/Brazil-Tours and check out the latest Specials!

What's new at Universal Understanding™:

1) The download version is at your fingertips. Now you do not have to be online while studying the tours to Brazil. We have revised our web-site, added pictures, maps and better descriptions, gave it a new name and modified it so that now you can easily have our brochure downloaded to your computer.

Just click on the download link on the home page of http://www.SouthAmerica.travel/Brazil-Tours ...and away you go!

We've also changed our domain name from our former ".ws" site to www.SouthAmerica.travel/Brazil-Tours, more closely representing what we stand for: quality tours to Brazil. The change was necessary, as even we kept typing ".com" instead of ".ws" to reach the site...and ending up on an empty site of a cyber squatter.... You'll find us now at http://www.SouthAmerica.travel/Brazil-Tours as well as http://UniversalUnderstanding.com

2) Universal Understanding™ tours to Brazil now also available through catalogue based Tour operators. You would like to bring your own group but would like to deal through a team that provides traditional support and benefits for group leaders? Universal Understanding has now teamed up with Passports starting next season. And we are in talks with other tour operators and independent travel agencies so that you can always go to the people you are familiar with.

Notwithstanding, we are always working on improving our internet based services, and can price any independent group of 6 or more. We believe in the co-exsitence of these two sales channels, because sometimes it just feels better to talk to someone in person. But don't forget to check-out our website-only Specials!

3) Your money is secure with Universal Understanding™ - Universal Understanding is an accepted verified partner of Paypal.com™, the online payment system. Paypal™ automatically guarantees buyers against fraud when buying from verified sellers like Universal Understanding. Click on the gold seal at http://www.SouthAmerica.travel/Brazil-Tours for more details.

What is new in Brazil:

1) The first sea reservation for whales in Brazil was created in September. From now on fishing along the Coast of Santa Catarina state is severely restricted. Whales are coming to this coastal strip from the Antarctica in order to procreate in the warmer waters. The first camera crew that was chasing whales with a motor boat has already been stopped by Brazil's military police; officials from IBAMA (Brazilian Institute for the protection of the Environment) will also be on guard. (Journal do Brasil, Sep. 16th, 2000) In the future, the state of Santa Catarina and we at Universal Understanding™ hope to develop a non-disturbing, environmentally correct way to show these magnificent mammals to the nature-loving traveler.

2) New study results in new construction rules and regulations. Instead of sanitizing the beaches using chemicals, Rio de Janeiro now lets the Sun do the job. A new study found that sunlight is the most effective agent when it comes to killing germs in the sand. Therefore, has Rio passed legislation that does not allow new buildings to shade the beach between 7 am in the morning and 5 pm in the evening. The first victims of this law are new apart-hotels that were supposed to be built on a former camping site. (Journal do Brasil, Sep. 7th, 2000)
