Why travel with the World Affairs Council?
Extraordinary access
The World Affairs Council of Houston has a national and international reputation that opens doors worldwide. Traveling with the Council gives you access regional leaders and opportunities for behind-the-scenes activities that cannot be matched.  
Itineraries designed for the thoughtful traveler
Our trips are designed to give you the deepest understanding of the region through a combination of historical sites, contemporary meetings, and high-level access. You explore the country and the culture, the places and the people. 
Excellent accommodations
Our trips are planned to give you comfortable lodging and good food at an affordable price. We avoid the distant "tourist hotels" and try to stay close to the action, focusing on hotels that are safe but also allow you to explore independently. 
Outstanding company
Developing new relationships is at the core of each trip. Travelers share ideas and build friendships as they explore destinations. World Affairs Council members have often lived and worked overseas and bring with them a wealth of experience and personal contact.

"I loved traveling to Cambodia with the World Affairs Council. It's a wonderful country with amazing sites of both historical and current interest. But the highlight of the trip was getting to know my fellow travelers. They were knowledgeable, open-minded and approached the trip with a spirit of fun and exploration. I have great memories and new friendships that will now always be a part of my life."   John Bryant, Rice University Professor

"Our lives are increasingly affected by global affairs. We may differ on policies, but the United States needs to be engaged in a thoughtful way as the issues are vital to our future. The World Affairs Council system is dedicated to non-partisan public education on world affairs and I urge you to participate in its important work."
George Bush, 41st President of the United States
