***Longwood launches new season Israel & Eilat brochure***
2 September 2008
To complete their trio of new season brochures, North Africa and Middle East specialists Longwood Holidays have launched their new season Israel and Eilat brochure, this year combining the Red Sea resort of Eilat with central Israel, replacing the two standalone brochures. Notes to Editors: Longwood Holidays is the UK’s leading independent Red Sea specialist tour operator, offering a wide range of holidays to the Red Sea resorts of Egypt, Israel & Jordan as well as holidays to Classical Egypt, Morocco, Nile Cruises, and an extensive tailormade programme. Longwood also operates a comprehensive Red Sea Diving and golfing programme. Please contact Tara Bradberry on 0844 770 4877 2550 or
“Putting Eilat and our other Israel destinations in the same brochure makes this the most comprehensive guide to Israel available to the travel trade” said Alan Meadows, Longwood Holidays Agency Sales Manager. “We have a huge product range - from beach holidays in Eilat, accommodation only in popular destinations such as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and our flexible Kibbutz fly drive programme to our bespoke tailormade itineraries and guided tours.”
The new brochure features Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and the Dead Sea with the operator adding new hotels in each, as well as the lesser known Mediterranean resorts of Herzlia and Natanya. The brochure also includes a selection of hotels handpicked for tailormade holidays including properties in Tiberias, Safed, Haifa, Caesarea, Ashkelon and Beer Sheva.
“Our tailormade programme is proving more and more popular and really allows people to explore Israel at their own pace” commented Meadows. “It’s important to us that the new brochure allows people to see the breadth of resorts we offer in Israel and also how flexible our Israel programme truly is. Throughout Israel, including Eilat, we offer a selection of hotels to suit all tastes and budgets and our brochure reflects this.”
Due to popular demand, the operator’s 7 night Holy Land Highlights Tour is back for the new season, offering additional summer departures from Tel Aviv as well as winter departures based on the Eilat charter.
“We’ve had a lot of demand for the Holy Land Highlights Tour and it seemed logical to extend the tour to include summer departures from Heathrow to Tel Aviv” said Meadows. “The summer is ideal to tour Israel as the weather is not too hot in central Israel meaning you can comfortably walk around. It’s great that we’re now able to offer this tour all year round so more people can experience Israel at its best.”
Sample holiday packages include 7nts half board at the 4*+ Magic Palace Eilat from £559 and 7 night fully guided Holy Land Highlights Tour from £925.
