Notes
①weather permitting：if weather permits如果天气允许的话
这是一个典型的独立主格结构。常见的独立主格结构形式有：（介词）+名词+（分词、介词、副词、形容词等），其功能相当于一个从句或表示伴随状态。如：
Mother having gone on a trip to Xi'an，Peter had to cook himself.=Because mother had gone on a trip to Xi'an，Peter had to cook himself.He sat in the sofa，with a cigar in hismouth.
②A Personal Sales Call定人销售
由于旅游产品的独特性，旅游是无形（intangible）产品，顾客通常是依靠旅游销售人员的帮助才购买旅游产品的。旅游销售常用的手段就是定人销售。所谓定人销售指的是旅游产品买卖双方面对面的互动销售，包括从老客户那里获取订单（order taking），以及开拓新的客户（creating selling to prospective customers）。
③Telephoning for an Appointment电话预约
比起冷不防的销售拜访（cold calls），销售电话预约有几个优点。比如，销售人员可以在同样的时间内联系到更多的潜在客户（prospects）。另外，潜在客户不会认为电话会过分干扰生活或工作，因此更愿意和销售人员交谈。
④Fares are subject to availability at the time of booking.机票价格以预订时价格为准。
