Club Offers Tours to World Hot Spots
A new travel club called Holidays for Maniacs is offering trips to war zones around the world. Club dues do not include insurance.
The club will offer accommodation and travel to hot spots in Central America and the Persian Gulf when it starts business next week, tour coordinator Helen Helder said Friday.
A Middle East tour might include stops in Iraq, the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Beirut, where the company is negotiating with a hotel in mountains overlooking the Lebanese capital.
The company is the idea of Steve Pearce, a 25-year-old businessman whose independent record label, Some Bizarre Records, recently scored a cult hit with the West German band called New Collapsing Buildings.
The instruments they favor include industrial chain saws and pneumatic drills.
