Thomas Cook has added Bermuda, Vietnam and Cambodia to its long-haul programmes as it prepares to celebrate 175 years in the business next year.
The operator has released five long-haul brochures covering more than 20 destinations and featuring 138 new hotels. The brochures are Thomas Cook Tropical Shores, Airtours Far & Away, Signature Caribbean, Signature Florida and Signature Exotic Escapes, valid for varied durations between this month and April 2017.
Vietnam and Cambodia have been added to the Signature Exotic Escapes brochure, while Bermuda features in the Tropical Shore range. Seven nights in Bermuda leads in at £1,349 for two adults staying at the Fairmont Southampton. New properties include the Grand Palladium Punta Cana
Resort & Spa in the Dominican Republic, and Moon Palace Grand and the Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort, both in Mexico. Managing director Chris
Mottershead said: “Next year, Thomas Cook is celebrating 175
years, and we’re very excited to launch our long-haul holidays for
next winter, which offer families, couples and adult groups alike a fantastic choice of more than 20 faraway destinations that 175 years ago would have been a fantasy. “We have added more than 130
hotels to our programme across a range of popular destinations, which will cater for all types of holidays on all types of budgets,
with Airtours continuing to offer affordable long-haul breaks. “We have also catered for the
growing demand of families looking to travel long-haul and sourced appropriate accommodation to cater for their specific needs, while also adding a selection of new and exclusive properties to our programme to offer Thomas Cook customers something new and unique.” As a result of families accounting
for almost half of Cook bookings to Mexico and the Dominican Republic last summer, the operator has added more properties with larger rooms in both destinations. Brochures can be downloaded at:
