SHHHHHH – LOVE A BIT OF MYSTERY?
Demand rises for Superbreak’s unnamed hotel deals

As consumers continue to seek good value, Superbreak reports that demand for its extensive range of ‘Supersaver Mystery Hotels’ across the UK, Europe and further afield is up 33% in the last 10 months from May 09 – January 10.

With customers booking an unnamed hotel, the figures clearly show that currently, price is just as important as the brand. Currently over 250 offers are on sale in 100 destinations with prices from just £17.50pppn.

Supersaver Mystery Hotels offer great savings on the regular cost of the hotel and simply mean that customers choose a destination and hotel star rating and will be told the name of the hotel on the booking confirmation. A brief idea of the location is given but not the name of the hotel. Deals are available in a wide range of UK destinations including London, on airport hotels around the UK and in many key cities across the world.

Ray Jones, marketing director at Superbreak comments; “In the last eight months we have booked over 36,000 bed nights into our mystery hotels. For many, great value is the key factor when booking and they are not buying on a brand proposition alone. They know which destination they want to visit but are less interested in the hotel itself. We have ensured that customers ca choose the star rating of their choice and then leave the rest a mystery until after they have booked.”

Sample deals include:
• Four star Leeds – from £55pppn b/b
• Four star Manchester Airport – from £42.50pppn room only
• Five star London – from £78pppn b/b
• Five star Prague – from £57.50pppn b/b

Based on two sharing and valid until the end of April 2010.

Family specialist Esprit Holidays launched its new December 2010 Santa’s Lapland brochure today, introducing a new range of ‘Crunch-Buster’ added value and money-saving deals.

“It’s great news that Britain is turning the corner out of recession”, commented Managing Director, Andy Perrin, “but we recognise that families still want exceptional value for money to get away on a pre-Christmas break, and that’s exactly what we are delivering with this year’s new programme, with the biggest savings reserved for early booking guests.”

Combining to offer savings against last year’s prices of up to £430 per family, the ‘Crunch-Buster’ deals include thousands of free child places, Cash-Back savings on many dates, a Grandparents’ Bonus of £30 off adult prices, free travel insurance for children, free toboggans, free drinks and free room upgrades, amongst many others.

There is no compromise on quality and service however, with Esprit, as always, guaranteeing every family its own private family meeting with the ‘real’ Santa Claus in his log-cabin home deep in the Lapland forest. All key activities such as husky-sledding, reindeer sleigh-rides, a snowmobile-sled ‘Search for Santa’ and an Arctic Circle Ceremony with the local Sami people are also included in the basic prices, along with a further range of ‘Snow Fun’ adventures such as ice-sculpting, tandem skiing, snow-sculpting and mini-skidoo rides for children.

A choice of 3-day and 4-day breaks is available, all to Esprit’s chosen resort of Saariselkä, some 200kms north of the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland. “This is the perfect setting for a Santa break” said Perrin, “with a genuinely magical, traditional and uncommercialised atmosphere, spectacularly beautiful scenery, and far enough north to guarantee great snow, and the best chance of seeing the fabulous Northern Lights.”

Direct flights to Ivalo, only 25 minutes coach ride from Saariselkä, are available from Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester, with departures almost daily throughout December. Prices start from £699 per adult, and from £1,922 for a family of four taking the ‘Santa’s Magic’ 3-day trip to Hotel Riekonlinna from Gatwick on 1st December.

- Iceland Northern Lights City Break includes flights, three nights accommodation + Northern Lights tour from £269.

The Northern Lights are at their peak activity levels through the end of March in Iceland and to provide UK travellers with an affordable way to see this natural wonder, Icelandair is pleased to offer the Northern Lights City Break. This holiday package includes flights from London Heathrow, Manchester or Glasgow, three nights accommodation and Northern Lights tour from £269*.

The Northern Lights tour takes place the evening following the day of arrival and is operated by Reykjavik Excursions. Passengers are picked up at their hotel and driven to an area outside of Reykjavik to search for the natural phenomenon. Every tour is different since the leader takes the group to the area where they are most likely to see the lights that day based on weather. The tour generally lasts three hours and makes for an exciting evening out exploring the rugged Icelandic wilderness.

In addition to the tour, the Northern Lights City Break provides free days to enjoy exploring Reykjavik, relaxing at the Blue Lagoon or enjoying one of Iceland’s many winter activities. Plus, due to the exchange rate, Iceland has not been as cheap as it currently is in decades, so now is the time to travel to this winter wonderland. In fact, Lonely Planet recently named Iceland one of its Top 10 Value Destinations for 2010.

The offer is good through 31st March 2010 travel. It must be booked online at www.icelandair.co.uk by 31st January. Hotel upgrades are available at an extra cost. Icelandair is one of Iceland’s longest established companies, connecting the world and Iceland for over 70 years.

The Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba defied the credit crunch in 2009 and is aiming for an even better 2010.

Aruba has now firmly established itself as one of the top 10 destinations in the Caribbean for the UK market: according to the latest available figures, from January to September 2009 Aruba saw a 41.88 per cent year-on-year increase in visitor numbers from the UK (10,265 as opposed to 7,235 for the same period in 2008). This is the first time that the island has surpassed 10,000 visitors from the UK in a single year.

For 2010 the Aruba Tourism Authority’s UK office is implementing a £150k advertising campaign to further raise the profile of the island among UK consumers and to continue to increase the number of visitors.

Building on last year’s highly successful promotion, the Aruba Tourism Authority is expanding its presence on the London Underground, which now includes tube car panels, show case squares (large posters) and LCD digital moving images by the escalators. The campaign was launched at the beginning of January and will run for six weeks.

In addition – supporting the increased frequency of Thomson’s flights from Manchester (which go weekly from fortnightly in May) – a three-month taxi campaign was launched in November, with 60 Aruba-themed cabs driving around Manchester.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is also resuming its Aruba service on 1st February, due to growing demand (flights between Amsterdam and Aruba were suspended earlier in 2009).

ATOUT FRANCE is delighted to announce that 20 French regions, 5 counties and 4 main cities – including Paris for the first time – will come and meet the UK media on the occasion of France Meets The Media 2010 in the first week of March: in Dublin on the 1st, London on the 2nd, Manchester on the 3rd, Glasgow and Edinburgh on the 4th.

This series of events will be a one-stop opportunity to meet with French local tourist boards’ press representatives and discuss unique editorial opportunities for 2010. “Unexpected France”, the theme of this new edition of France Meets The Media, promises to unveil France’s secrets as never before!

Registrations for the events will open on Wednesday 13 January 2010 – more information to come that day in the next press release.
