Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Company recognizes the revenues and related costs of operations upon the
completion of each tour departure.  The actual results reflect the timing of
the completion of such tour departures.  Because of the timing of
recognition of revenues and related costs, quarterly comparisons from
year-to-year may not be indicative of the Company's level of business
activity for the compared quarters or be indicative for the results of
operations for the year.

The Company's business tends to be seasonal, with higher activity generally
occurring in the summer, early fall, and winter months.

Program revenues include revenues from the sale of base travel programs, as
well as optional products and services, including sightseeing, program
extensions, domestic airfare, and medical and educational seminars.

Cost of operations include the costs of airfare, ship, hotel and other
accommodations and services included in the base programs and optional
products and services.  Also included are the costs of creating and
distributing promotional materials and promotional expenses for each program.

PROGRAM REVENUES
Program revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995,
decreased $1.1 million or 9.8%, from $11.2 million in 1995 to $10.1 million
in 1996.  This decrease was due to 503 fewer travelers, representing a 21.3%
decrease, from 2,361 travelers in 1995 to 1,858 travelers in 1996. The
reduction in travelers was primarily attributable to the scheduled operation
of fewer second quarter tour departures of the Mediterranean cruise programs
in 1996 compared to 1995. This decrease was partially offset by a $695
increase in the average revenue per traveler, or 14.7%, from $4,739 in 1995
to $5,434 in 1996. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of more
higher priced African programs in 1996.

Program revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995,
increased $3.1 million or 10.1%, from $30.7 million in 1995 to $33.8 million
in 1996.  This increase was due to 708 more travelers, representing a 10.1%
increase, from 7,027 travelers in 1995 to 7,735 travelers in 1996. The
additional travelers were primarily attributable to the South America and
USAA Welcome Aboard programs which were new in 1996.  The average revenue
per traveler remained constant at $4,369 in 1995 and $4,370 in 1996.

COST OF OPERATIONS
Cost of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to
1995, decreased $0.7 million or 7.7%, from $9.6 million in 1995 to $8.9
million in 1996.  This decrease reflects the reduced level of program costs
resulting from fewer travelers. The average cost per traveler increased $710
per traveler, from $4,086 in 1995 to $4,796 in 1996, consistent with the
increase in the average selling price of programs operated.  Costs of
operations increased as a percentage of program revenues from 86.2% in 1995
to 88.3% in 1996 due to higher promotional expenses associated with the
programs operating in the second quarter of 1996.

Cost of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995,
increased $3.0 million or 11.3%, from $26.1 million in 1995 to $29.1 million
in 1996.  This increase reflects the additional costs necessary to support
the increase in travelers. The average cost per traveler increased $41 per
traveler, from $3,720 in 1995


                                    6
<PAGE> 7
to $3,761 in 1996. Costs of operations increased as a percentage of program
revenues from 85.1% in 1995 to 86.1% in 1996 due to higher promotional expenses
associated with the programs operating in the first six months of 1996.

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995,
decreased $0.3 million or 23.0%, from $1.5 million in 1995 to $1.2 million
in 1996, as a result of lower revenues and higher relative costs of
operations in 1996.  Gross profit decreased as a percentage of revenues from
13.8% in 1995 to 11.7% in 1996, primarily due to the increased promotional
expenses incurred for the programs operating in the second quarter of 1996.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995,
increased $0.1 million or 3.3%, from $4.6 million in 1995 to $4.7 million in
1996, as a result of higher revenues and higher relative costs of operations
in 1996.  Gross profit decreased as a percentage of revenues from 14.9% in
1995 to 13.9% in 1996, primarily due to the increased promotional expenses
incurred for the programs operating in the first six months of 1996.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 1996 compared to 1995, increased $0.5 million, or 18.6%, from $2.5
million in 1995 to $3.0 million in 1996. This increase was primarily due to
higher incentive compensation, credit card transaction fees, and expenses
associated with operating as a publicly traded company (directors fees,
shareholder communications, and filing fees).  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenues from 22.5% in
1995 to 29.6% in 1996 due to the increased expenses and the decrease in
program revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1996 compared to 1995, increased $0.8 million, or 15.5%, from $5.1
million in 1995 to $5.9 million in 1996. This increase was primarily due to
higher compensation costs, list management expenses, credit card transaction
fees, and public company expenses. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased as a percentage of revenues from 16.6% in 1995 to 17.4%
in 1996 due to the increased expenses and partially offset by the increase
in program revenues.

INVESTMENT INCOME
Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995,
decreased $172,000 from $450,000 in 1995 to $278,000 in 1996. This decrease
was due to a lower rate of return earned on investable cash and a $100,000
reduction in gains recognized on the sale of marketable securities. The
average monthly balance of cash and marketable securities during the second
quarter increased from $20.9 million in 1995 to $21.6 million in 1996.

Investment income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995,
decreased $100,000 from $611,000 in 1995 to $511,000 in 1996 due to the
reduction of gains recognized on the sale of marketable securities referred
to above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company continues to fund its operations, capital expenditures, dividend
payments and treasury stock purchases through cash flows generated from
operations and from retained earnings.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, was $9.4 million and $9.6 million, respectively. The Company
recognizes program revenues as income upon the completion of each tour
departure.  Deferred revenue balances consist of amounts received from
travelers for tour departures which have not been completed.  Of the $46.0
million of deferred revenue at June 30, 1996, approximately $29.6 million,
or 64.3%, relates to tour departures which will be completed by September
30, 1996.  The balance of the deferred revenue, $16.4 million,  relates to
deposits and payments for tour departures which will be completed after
September 30, 1996.

The Company paid cash dividends of $1,308,000 and purchased 173,600 shares
of its common stock from the open market for $1,404,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 1996.
