POST-CONGRESS TOURS
* HERP-WATCHING IN CENTRAL ASIA
We are sorry to announce that this post-congress tour had to be
cancelled due to current political situation in some regions
included in its itinerary, i.e. with regard to safety of participants.
This is especially regrettable because the excursion was proposed
by some people as early as in Adelaide. The CBT Travel Agency will
contact all who already made registration.
This is a nine-day excursion to Central Asia which will provide

animals. The itinerary includes flights to Tashkent (one of the
oldest cities in the territory of former U.S.S.R. with a 2000-year
