Press Release
AW Chile PAX located safe and sound 2 March 2010
ADVENTURE World has been in communication with hotels and local tour operators in the different regions of Chile and can confirm that all passengers are safe and in good physical condition.
Passengers to Puerto Varas, northern Chile and Punta Arenas are conducting their excursions as planned, while excursions for passengers in Santiago and Vina del Mar have been suspended. In Easter Island passengers remain in their hotels.
Marketing manager, Neil Rodgers said, "It is important to point out that the areas affected by the earthquake are concentrated around the cities of Concepcion, Santiago, Vina del Mar and Valparaiso. The important tourist regions of northern Chile, Patagonia, and the Lakes area around Puerto Montt have been spared by the earthquake.
He added, "Santiago is little affected, but in some areas electricity and water supply were also cut. The telecommunications are working again; nevertheless, the international lines are heavily overloaded.
"The safety of our clients is our top priority and we are working to give reliable information to our agents. Once the airport resumes normal operation, we will be able to gradually offer alternate arrangements on their itineraries."
