Inghams Launches NEW Lakes & Mountains Summer 2018 Main Edition Brochure With 14 NEW Resorts And Multi-Centre Holidays And A Brand NEW Programme In Portugal
Specialist tour operator Inghams has launched its Lakes & Mountains Summer 2018 main edition brochure, with a vastly extended programme. NEW additions include seven resorts in Italy, Austria and Norway, seven NEW multi-centre holidays combining destinations in Italy, Norway, Slovenia, Austria and Switzerland.
Paul Carter, CEO, says: “We’re especially excited to welcome Portugal to our Lakes & Mountains programme and we invite guests to make the most of this beautiful destination through our range of FREE excursions. Value for money is very important to our guests, and whilst exchange rates aren’t currently where we’d like them to be, we’ve worked very hard to source new holiday options and ensure value is added to our guests’ holiday spending. We’re delighted to be able to offer a much wider choice and more flexibility for our guests in Summer 2018, whilst our long-standing relationships with existing hotel partners means we can continue to provide our range of Inghams PLUS offers and pre-bookable extras. We look forward to seeing our many regular guests again next summer, and extend a warm welcome to those who are travelling with Inghams for the first time.”
