Exercice 1: Reading

Last year we made a 25% discount. I wonder why people could not be given a similar discount this
year. Why not and even more? Cafayate HOTEL and Tours offers discounted fares for taking care of
your fragile economy. Senior (60 and over) and youth (up to 24 years) receive a 35% discount across
our network, applicable at any time on all our services. This can be combined with seasonal fares,
giving a possible total 50% discount. To receive seasonal discounts, advance purchase may be
necessary. Tickets are available from ticket agents. If you buy on board, you will probably get a
tourist class ticket (20% surcharge). If you don´t enough have money, you can still travel and have a
good holiday. We finance your debt. Your final balance payment is due on or before 31 March. This
may be paid by credit card, cash, or check made payable to Cafayate Tours travel. As explained at the
time of booking your holiday a service will be levied for all credit card transactions in 10%.

Ticket prices: Conditions:

Third class: For less than $50 per person. Half-fare for children aged 4 to 10
Tickets are normally non-transferable
Second class: For between than $50 and $100 per A return ticket usually means a 10% discount
person

accepted)
