Secrets of the "Untourist" Pay the price of an ordinary hotel room – but stay in a luxurious health spa. Where and how to obtain a second passport. It's legal. It's safe. And it can guarantee tremendous benefits for you both at home and abroad. Why you should never carry traveler's checks. These are the secrets of the untourists. Never stay in the usual tourist hotels or resorts. Never shop where typical tourists get taken. Never eat run-of-the-mill, over-priced food where tourists eat. Always enjoy a lot more...while paying far less. Let me show you how... Dear Traveler: There are secrets to traveling well. Inside angles that experienced travelers have spent their lifetimes figuring out. Here's just a sampling of secrets... Never-ever pay full price for an airline ticket again. Lose weight every time you travel - without worrying once about calories or fat. What to do when you go to Hong Kong but your luggage goes to Budapest. An easy way to get around hotel telephone surcharges. The most gorgeous (and inexpensive) white-sand beaches in the Caribbean...and the world's beautiful people who return here year after year.

History has been made here since 1300. Now it's the perfect spot for romance. Five ways to travel for next to nothing. The best changing of the guard in the world.

(This is your best bet for getting to the head of the line for the next flight.) This is only the beginning. Literally hundreds of hard-earned insider travel secrets like these are detailed in our new publication - created with the help of more than 200 of the world's most super-savvy travelers. This report, called Secrets of the Untourist, dares to tell you everything the travel industry...the airline industry...your travel agent...the world's tourist bureaus...and all those typical guidebooks can't tell you.
