NEW EUROPE


>


asktheoperators Harold Burke,


sales director, Grand UK Holidays “We’ve featured Croatia for several years now


and it’s always pretty popular – I think people are drawn by the fact that the region and the landscape are so unspoilt. People going to the Istrian Peninsula for the fi rst time are always impressed. We don’t major on Slovenia but the whole of that wider area has massive potential for the future.”


Simon Grove,


head of product, Explore “The area’s rich cultural heritage proves popular, especially with our


repeat customers, and our tours sell


early. Looking further afi eld, many other parts of the old Yugoslavia remain relatively undiscovered by travellers – it’s a region with a rich history and unique culture. We have identifi ed it as an area which offers tremendous opportunities for exploration. We’ve launched a new ‘Journey through the Balkans’ tour for 2011 that explores Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Bosnia over 12 days.”


asktheagent Darren Wetherall,


branch manager Hays Travel “We’re in the Newcastle area and the main


barrier for us selling the region is fl ights; I think only Jet2 fl y direct from here. Our sales are usually because people are attracted by the scenery; there are some lovely resorts down there. It also benefi ts from having its own currency, rather than the euro."
