This agency organizes tours to a number of countries. Their names are listed in the frame on the left-hand side of the page, under the heading “Страны” (“Countries”). Can you identify these countries in English? For those you cannot, click on the name of the country and see if the additional information on the site (including photos and maps for some countries) provides you with clues.
Are there some popular tourist destinations you expected to find on this lists that are not there? Are there some on there that you did not expect? |

At the right-hand end of the bar you'll see the link "Детский отдых" (special children's tours and information for parents). Please follow it. List the countries and/or regions to which these tours are available (depending on the season, it could be just one country/region). Hint: loook directly under the heading “Детский отдых,” not in the frame on the left-hand side of the page! If you cannot identify a country or a region, ask your instructor and/or classmates about it. |

Look at the logo of this company and note that the name of this agency ("Solvex Travel" -- Солвекс Трэвэл) is followed by two more words. Do these two words remind you of certain English words? What might this expression mean? |
