2 AUGUSTA, SC ANYTIME BETWEEN 1:00 PM AND 4:00 PM Hope to see you there!!! First Rule of Vacation, TAKE IT! Page 1 This Travel Guide is a current list of our tours for 2022. As new tours are added we will send updates in the form of a newsletter during the year. Page 2 THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO READ THIS IMPORTANT As we begin our 22nd year as Ionosphere Tours we are certainly aware of how blessed we have been and also how our normal and predictable can change in just a twinkling of an eye. One of our biggest blessings is that we have always tried to position ourselves over the years to be able to weather the storms of life. This unprecedented Covid-19 managed to disrupt 2020 and 2021 in way that continues to remain unpredictable. We choose to stay optimistic that our new normal will allow us to continue to enjoy many more years of fun-filled journeys . We will continue to monitor health and safety concerns in regards to the Coronavirus, to insure safe travels.

3 Our most up to date information on Travel , and primarily group Travel tells us that visitors to many areas of our country and eventually to Canada will have to have proof of vaccination for COVID-19 to visit. This currently includes cruise Travel . Ionosphere does not require vaccination to Travel on our tours, but many theatres, attractions and restaurants primarily in big cities and popular destinations require proof of vaccination. We have no way of knowing when and if this requirement will be lifted or changed. Therefore, when you sign up for a tour, if you have any ques-tions about the protocol for that particular tour, please feel free to contact our office for the most up to date requirements. Please know we cannot predict what requirements may be in place 6-8 months or more in advance. We are very committed to making sure that our travelers have the experience that is promised in our Travel Guide . Your tour experience should not be diminished by having to make several substitutions.

4 However, at this still uncertain time with regard to Travel and COVID, our need to make any changes will be based on several factors, such as employee staffing issues at restaurants and attractions, group size restrictions and limited availability for restaurants, and attractions that we are scheduled to visit. On each tour, as outlined in our 2022 Travel Guide , all the attractions and restaurants are reserved as indicated. However, there could be a need to rearrange and/or substitute some reservations, based on an impact or change in COVID status. If there is a need to cancel any major event or experience of a tour, we will cancel the tour rather than compromising your tour experience. As we all have been aware, prices have continued to increase in almost every aspect of living. These in-creases are triggered by supply and demand, shipping charges, fuel charge increases and wage increases for employees in all areas of the work force. Some of our costs for restaurants and attractions have increased by as much as 50% in 2022.

5 Therefore you will notice an increase in the cost of our tours as a result of the across the board increase in our costs from our tour suppliers. We continue to strive to provide the best value for you, without compromising the quality of the tour. With regard to Travel protection/insurance, we have had to change companies due to the fact the com-pany we were using chose to drop group plans, because of an overwhelming amount of claims. The new company we selected is named CHUBB. We are happy to be able to work with this great company and are confident they will be a good fit for our company and customers alike. We, at Ionosphere, believe that The Best is Yet to Be . We trust that you have found a measure of peace, joy and time for reflection during this challenging time in our country. We thank you for your continued loyalty and for being the most valuable part of Ionosphere. We hope to see you on many tours in the future.! ?? Mystery Tour - 5 Days ??
