TASTY TOURS

PBTMS WORLD TOURS (formerly Pearl Beach Travel Management Service) provide a friendly personalised service, specialist private itinerary design at an affordable price, unique off the beaten track destinations and a range of exciting small group tours offering cultural and historical experiences in some of the world's most fascinating and scenically spectacular countries.
Our philosophy is be innovative and pioneering in world adventure travel while maintaining a high quality product with exceptional customer service.
RESPONSIBLE WORLD TOURISM
Founded in 1997, PBTMS World Tours is concerned about the environment, its future and the damage tourists, and in particular, mass tourism can have on attractions and cultures.
LOW IMPACT TOURISM
We don't assume the right to participate in cultures. PBTMS adventure tours are not about trampling through isolated hilltribe villages, eating meals in the homes of local families, or riding with the locals on public transport. Preferring to be an observer, to look in from a window, applying minimal disturbance with maximum reward.
SMALL GROUP COMFORT AND INTIMACY
PBTMS adventure tours are designed to have minimum impact on, not only cultures but resources and attractions. We never load a coach with 30-40 passengers and roll all over the countryside. This type of mass tourism is offensive and designed purely for high profit.
INTERNATIONAL BEHAVIOUR
PBTMS encourages responsible and educated travellers. We assist education by providing pre-tour information on the destination and an introduction to expected behaviour. As some of our tours operate in countries dedicated to the Islamic way of life - we do not accept clients unable to display sensitivity and tolerance as a visitor.
HIGH VALUE PRODUCT
PBTMS do not offer low-cost tours with heaps of leisure time and optional add-ons, preferring to advertise the whole cost that includes return airfares and departure tax ex Australia rather than an attention grabbing 'land only' cost.
SAFETY
PBTMS does not operate tours in countries where the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs has issued a warning advising postponing visitation.
QUALITY
PBTMS does not compete in discounting, instead working to obtain the best value and highest quality product for the price. We use a selection of ground agents in destinational countries in order to match the best service for our individual clients.
Most of the cost of the tour goes into the tour.
We don't use a toll free telephone number, do not print and mail out glossy picture catalogues and brochures or pay for a large office and staff. We do not hire Marketing and Public Relations companies and you won't find any Mercedes sports or luxury cars in our parking lot.
PERSONAL ATTENTION
We design unique 'PRIVATE TOURS' fitting our clients individual requirements and use guides, support staff and crews that are locals in their mother country.
PBTMS boasts a friendly-style personalised service, where each client has a name rather than a computerised booking number, where resources are directed to detail, even after departure. We track our clients travel while outside Australia closing each file only after the client returns home.
We are proudly, a Total Quality Managed organisation.
BOOKING
All bookings must be accompanied by a completed PBTMS booking form and a non-refundable deposit of $480 per person. Cancellation charges will apply to every booking.
Comprehensive travel insurance is compulsory for all bookings.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
PBTMS is committed to on-going education, research and improvement. Tour itineraries are continually monitored and often altered to include better attractions or by-pass areas of little interest / domestic unrest. Hotels are always substituted with newer properties where available.
Enjoy the comfort and intimacy of private tours - experience the difference .
