GREIG'S TOP TIPS... Kuoni reintroduces Cook Islands LAUNCH NEWS...
GREIG Wells, Reservations Consultant at Travel 2, recently won himself a trip to the Cook Islands. Needless to say he loved it! Here he shares tips gleaned on his travels.
MIX 'N' MATCH The Cook Islands is a
fantastic destination on its own, but is also easy to tag onto Australia or New Zealand with a weekly direct fl ight from Sydney and daily direct fl ights from Auckland . ADULTS ONLY Rarotonga is good for
allcomers but remember it has adult-only properties such as Muri Beach Club, which are perfect for couples. WARM WELCOME The people are a real
selling point. The warm welcome with a ei garland and hearty Kia Orana is a lovely local greeting which translates as "good health". PRICE CHECK The Cooks represent
fantastic value for money. The nearest comparable destination being French Polynesia, which could cost almost twice as much. DAY TRIPS If your clients don't have the
time or budget to combine Rarotonga and Aitutaki, book an Air Rarotonga day trip to Aitutaki. It's an absolute must. UNSPOILT The Cooks are very unspoilt and
relatively uncommercialised. I loved the fact that the only brand I saw during my time there was Avis!
Kuoni has reintroduced the Cook Islands to its Australia/New Zealand programme for 2014. The island selection is back by popular demand and includes Rarotonga, the Cooks' largest island, and accommodation on the smaller, more remote Aitutaki. The programme includes the
Little Polynesian Resort, Crown Beach Resort & Spa and Manuia Beach Resort, all on Rarotonga; plus the Pacifi c Resort and Tamanu Beach Resort on Aitutaki. Accommodation prices lead-in at £102 per night room-only at the Manuia Beach. Kuoni will also promote the destination as a perfect addition to
New Zealand and Australia for those clients looking for a little extra adventure. Pictured below celebrating the
new product content are Julia Denny from Cook Islands Tourism, fl ying the fl ag for the destination with some of the operator's Personal Travel Experts.

DID YOU KNOW?
The Cook Islands is
making its mark in Bristol in a marketing campaign which has taken its 'Cook Islands Discovered' message onto the city's streets. The sides of taxis across Bristol were emblazoned with images from the island to coincide with Bristol's hosting of the Cook Islands rubgy league team. The
images will be brightening up the winter streets with true Polynesian smiles for three months!
