***Tel Aviv sales soar for Longwood Holidays***
6 June 2008
Israel specialist Longwood Holidays Tel Aviv accommodation only sales have soared, with a significant increase reported since the beginning of the year.
“Interest in Tel Aviv has boomed since February” said Tara Bradberry, Longwood Holidays Marketing Manager. “We’ve seen particular interest in our accommodation only programme, which has seen real growth due to the extra capacity available on flights from the UK. This has really opened up the way we can sell Tel Aviv and has also given consumers a lot more flexibility with their travel to Israel. As destination specialists we’re able to sell Tel Aviv as a simple city break, package holiday or provide a multi-centre itinerary for those wishing to explore other parts of this fascinating country. It’s great that consumers and agents alike are realising that Tel Aviv has a lot to offer. The vibrant nightlife and excellent choice of restaurants and cafes provide cuisine to suit every palate, while the 13km of beachfront is perfect for those looking to combine a beach holiday with a city break. The Tel Aviv Museum, Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and two ballet companies, to name but a few, offer plenty of opportunities for those seeking culture and art. For those looking to explore further afield we can provide itineraries to include the historical city of Jerusalem or an extended beach holiday in the original Red Sea resort of Eilat.”
Longwood have reported growth for their entire Israel programme including the Mediterranean resorts of Natanya and Herzlia and the historical city of Jerusalem.
“In general Israel can be a tricky market to sell but recently Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Eilat in particular have received a lot of positive press” commented Bradberry. “This has really helped to renew consumer confidence in the country as well as to make consumers and agents aware of the many fascinating places there are to visit in Israel.”
