KEENE, N.H. -- Reacting to the escalating SARS outbreak in parts of
Asia, General Tours suspended its tours to China, Hong Kong and
Vietnam through December.
"Repeated U.S. government travel warnings make it clear that
this is not the time to travel to China, Hong Kong and Vietnam,"
says Bob Drumm, president of General Tours.
The operator said it would fully refund all customer payments on
its travel programs to the Asian countries for the balance of this
year.
Over the past several weeks, the State Department has issued
SARS-related travel warnings advising U.S. citizens to defer travel
to Hong Kong and China.
