Welcome to our summer newsletter We are pleased to announce that 2015 has got off to a flying start, with a noticeable increase in holiday bookings so far! However as a result, securing accessible rooms in some resorts for the remainder of this year, is already proving to be difficult! So our best advice is - if you are planning to holiday in 2015 and haven’t yet made your arrangements - you need to book soon! Since their introduction in 2014, both Menorca and Portugal have been very popular holiday resorts, and as always, the Canary Islands are still the favoured destination for many of our customers. Earlier in 2015, we successfully operated our first accessible Amsterdam & Holland coach tour, which included a visit to the famous Keukenhof Gardens - which was confirmed as the highlight of the tour. Itineraries for 2016 will be available soon, along with a selection of accessible Rhine River cruises for next year as well. The Spanish Mainland, as well as the Balearics, also saw many new visitors during the spring and are now also proving to be very popular, especially for those that don’t enjoy a long flight time. So what are you waiting for? Call us today on 01452 729739 – and let us help you choose the holiday you’ve always dreamed of!
