INTRODUCTION

Tally Ho Travelogue

Freshly cooked, piping hot crispy fish and golden chips, sprinkled with salt and doused with vinegar, served in newspaper and eaten on a cold and wintery day. It’s something we never have at home but we are away exploring and somehow the rule book has been abandoned. Moments of sheer pleasure, this is the magic of travel.

Not many years ago I had not been on a coach tour, in fact, I was sure that I would never go on one! Car was easier and we just accepted the stress of not knowing where to park or how congestion charging worked. Nor did we plan to visit gardens, palaces, eateries or shows, well we wanted to but it would be too hard to find tickets and figure out the arrangements. Then we tried a coach tour and it was all so easy and that was when we re-discovered the fish and chips!

In 2017 the Coach Tourism Association commissioned the first ever nationwide coach tourism survey with responses from 25,000 people. It made very interesting reading and we quickly adopted a number of the recommendations. It did get us thinking about how many businesses ask their customers to help develop their products, the answer was, not many. Some holiday firms have a feedback questionnaire and offer you a cheap pen for completing it but do they really listen? Well,

Book online: www.tallyhoholidays.co.uk

we have decided to get out and about to meet you! Over the next few months we will be inviting you to share your ideas over coffee and a cake. Watch out for an invitation, we would like to hear your ideas.

The UK tourism market has been changing in recent months; there has been a renewed interest in some long forgotten UK destinations such as the islands around our coast or the regenerated cities of Bristol, Liverpool and historic cities such as York. You are probably looking for higher standards of accommodation, much better food and a bit more time to explore destinations yourselves.

Well we are only too happy to respond and I hope that some of the tours in this new brochure will encourage you to give it a try.

And if the news around us is doom-laden, there is no better time to find an excuse to get away for a few days, well, that is how I feel!
