- PRESS RELEASE
This summer travellers in the GCC and Middle East are taking advantage of the comprehensive holiday programmes offered by Gulf Air Holidays, the airline's in-house tour operation.
Gulf Air Holidays features more than 400 hotels and apartments in 33 countries and over 70 destinations around the world. In addition, to offering packages to destinations within its network, Gulf Air also has packages to destinations where partner airlines offer connecting flights.
"Gulf Air Holidays is committed to providing customers with a wide range of quality travel options that are excellent value for money," said Mark Senior, Manager Destination and Leisure Marketing at Gulf Air. "We believe this expanded series of Experience programmes offers customers even more choice and has something for everyone."
Gulf Air Holidays Asia Experience packages feature popular destinations like Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, as well as Indonesia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Nepal and China. Holidaymakers have a range of vacation options from beautiful resorts and pristine beaches to vibrant cities and historical sights.
Recognising that some GCC residents prefer to spend the summer in the region, the Arabian Experience packages cover a broad geographical scope from the Gulf States, Iran and Jordan to Syria, Egypt and Morocco. The leisure travel packages to Iran are a first for Gulf Air and give travellers a unique opportunity to experience the country's rich and classical history.
For travellers looking to escape the heat of the region, Gulf Air Holidays European Experience includes all the destinations in the Gulf Air network, as well as Austria, Belgium, Ireland and Switzerland, offering everything from the countryside and cities to mountains and seas.
Gulf Air Holidays has six 'Experience' brochures that provide details on destinations, including country and hotel information. The European, Asian, Arabian, Australian, India and Golf Experience brochures are available from travel agents and Gulf Air offices.
"Our six 'Experience' brochures offer a wide range of information on some of the most exciting accommodation and sightseeing options to be found anywhere in the world," added Mark Senior.
