Hi Contact First Name,

There is a saying, that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well, it may be very flattering to discover someone imitating you, I can positively say that you gain nothing from the imitation. And worse, it can turn out to be a form of intellectual piracy.

From today onwards, I will no longer be placing the full itinerary of my specialty tours on the web. I can't do much about tours which I have already announced, and the itineraries are already on the web. But for new ones, I will only provide highlights of the trip and the duration. The detail itinerary and price will not be shown on the web. Anybody interested in the tour will have to contact us for the full itinerary and price.

Why am I doing this? I discover that there are travel agents that copy my itinerary and pass them as their own. They would usually claim - of course - that they can provide the same tour and a lower price. Whether or not they can do it goes to be seen, but I would rather not have my unique itineraries being used by someone else, especially someone who hasn't done the homework but simply mimic what I do.

There will be many exciting tours coming soon. Already open for booking right now are tours to Cameron Highlands and Taiping. You can view the detailed itineraries on the web now, at www.worldgreatestsites.com. They're about the last itineraries to go online. Watch out for announcement of other upcoming destinations soon, including Borobudur, Mount Bromo, Hokkaido, to name a few.
