FEATURE LATIN AMERICA FOR FIRST-TIMERS
Clients with tighter budgets can look forward to getting value for money across much of Latin America
America, there are so many ‘must see’ attractions for the first time visitor. The draw of Rio is unsurpassed and every visitor wants to stroll through the streets of this vibrant city, sunbathe on the famous Copacabana beach and visit the Corcovado and Sugar Loaf Mountain. The natural wonder of Iguazu Falls, straddling the border with Argentina, is the next stop on the list.”
SIMON FORSTER Latin America product manager, Rainbow Tours “Many first-time visitors
to Latin America come to us with an idea of which country they want to visit, and we find that they normally head to Peru, Argentina or Brazil. Highlights of each of these countries would be an excellent start, covering destinations such as Machu Picchu, Rio de Janeiro, the Iguazu Falls and Patagonia. Rainbow Tours can also provide crib sheets for agents to help sell the key ‘must see’ destinations across the region.”

MELISSA TILLING Product director, Funway Holidays "Mexico is the perfect
combination of Latin hospitality and spirit, with incredible beaches, amazing all-inclusive quality and value for money, wrapped up with non-stop direct scheduled flights with British Airways and Virgin Atlantic from London Gatwick. The ancient culture of the Maya add yet another dimension with the temples of Tulum and Chitchen Itza, which are all available as pre-bookable excursions through Funway."

Falkland Islands Photos & Design - Georgina Strange :: Design In Nature 2011
“If the natural world is more appealing to your clients than city life, then the Falkland Islands may be the destination for their next holiday. Penguins, seals, albatross – all in their natural environment, without viewing platforms or hundreds of other people to jostle with to get the perfect photograph – not to mention white sandy beaches, rolling grasslands, superb walking opportunities, clear unpolluted skies and crime free.”
