is devoted to providing ideas and reasons for travelling on the operator’s breaks. It then splits the country
into regions, highlighting key attractions in each area. Each region has ‘Save, Spend, Splurge’ suggestions to show the range of packages to meet different budgets, and features hotel details.

The operator has also divided
its packaged breaks into 12 types, including dinner deals, afternoon tea, shopping, Friday night out, culture and royalty, entertainment and sport breaks. Each package has a separate
what they wanted and the feedback was very much that one brochure would be better. It will allow more racking space in stores and also means there are more cross-selling opportunities with all our UK products in one place. “We want to provide agents
with a brochure that can be used as a selling tool rather than a hotel catalogue.” Not all hotels are featured in the new brochure but the operator’s
full range is available online.

northernmost distillery, the Aurora Spirit Distillery, and sampling Arctic tapas. The four-day Tromso Ice Dome break combines a
city stay with a night at the newly created Tromso Ice Domes – seven intricately carved suites in the Tamok Valley. Snowshoe hiking and a wildnerness dinner cooked on an open fire are offered every night as well as a husky safari ride. The operator has also introduced several escorted tours including Hunting the Aurora in North and South
Iceland and an escorted Santa break.
