It is much more than Lakes and Mountains…
The demand for Lakes and Mountains summer holidays is increasing at
such a rapid rate that three new countries and 12 new resorts have
been added to the programme which now encompasses 15 countries
featuring more than 100 destinations.
The new countries are Bulgaria with Borovets in the Rila mountains,
Platres in the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus and Balatonfüred on Lake
Balaton and Budapest, the capital of Hungary, as a city add-on.
In ITALY we feature three new resorts: Montecatini, one of Italy's
most famous spa towns in Tuscany and Alassio & Rapallo on the
Ligurian Riviera. To Switzerland we have added Leysin in the
mountains north of Lake Geneva and Montreux & Vevey on the lake.
One new resort in Spain: Cambrils, the coastal resort on the Costa
Dorada and Barcelona as a city add-on.
Also new is the seven days heights & sights tour in Switzerland
based in Vevey on Lake Geneva and it includes four full day
excursions.
New weddings locations are the giant ferris wheel, the registry
office and Palace Schönbrunn in Vienna (Austria) and weddings in the
tower or in the castle in Garda on Lake Garda (Italy).
To help make the holiday choice easier, Thomson has also introduced
fifteen new flights from the most important regional airports to
Reus (Spain), Geneva (Switzerland) and Pula (Croatia).
Product and marketing director Gareth Crump said: "We are delighted
to offer an even wider range of destinations to our discerning lakes
& mountains customers. Together with our biggest ever choice of
