HAVE
A NICE DAY
Fast
becoming the number 1 ski resort with the celeb set, Ischgl in
Austria is a resort that has it all.
Internationally famous for its high profile concerts, Ischgl's legendary
free Easter Concert will be performed live by the Stereophonics on Sunday
23rd March 2008.
The
resort has gained much popularity amongst the stars and over the past few years

Mountain concert on Saturday 3rd May. Departures on 22nd

FROM
PISTE TO POWDER
With
the cold snap in the UK in
full force, head to Italy where you
can have fun in the snowy, wintry conditions. Dominated by the mighty Matterhorn
(Mt Cervino), the compact village of
Cervinia is one of the highest resorts
in the Alps. Majestic mountains, enchanting
glaciers, perfectly groomed pistes and guaranteed snow are waiting to be
explored. New this season Inghams have introduced a Piste to Powder course,
teaching skiers to take the transition from skiing on piste to skiing in powder,
prices start from £54 for 1 day. Departures on 29th March for a 7
nights stay at the 2* Hotel Serenella on half board start from £555 per person,
including flights from Exeter, Bristol, Birmingham or Manchester and resort
transfers. Call 020 8313 3999.
KICK
OFF THIS SUMMER....
....with
a holiday in Austria. Once again football isn't
coming home but that doesn't mean a trip to Austria or Switzerland
needs to be ruled out. Recommend that clients fly to Innsbruck or Salzburg and stay in one of the traditional
resorts and enjoy a relaxing summer break away from it all. The nearby Austrian
resorts will
not be affected by the football, even during the period from 7th -
29th June, in fact Innsbruck and Salzburg host their last game on
18th June, so it is business as usual in these regions. And
if they do fancy venturing to a game at least they will be in a neutral
capacity, be able to mingle with the fans and cheer on the winning side (for
once!). Suggest that your clients depart in June and stay at the 4* Ferienhotel
Kaltschmid in Seefeld for 7 nights on half board with prices starting from £561
per person, including flights from Gatwick and resort transfers. Flights are also available from Exeter +£61, Bristol +£61,
Birmingham +£54, East Midlands +£61, Manchester +£61, Leeds-Bradford +£65, Newcastle +£71 & Edinburgh +£81. Call 020 8313 3999.

£959 per person, including flights from Gatwick, Stansted or Manchester (+£46),

Gora and Ljubljana, a visit to Venice, four guided tours and escorted coach

CATCH
ME IF YOU CAN
Let's
hope the new Formula 1 Grand Prix season brings fresh hope for Lewis Hamilton
after his disappointing last race in Brazil. Head
to Istanbul in May to hopefully witness Hamilton score another victory at the Istanbul Park circuit on 11th May. The
only city in the world that sits on two continents, Istanbul offers a truly
vibrant short break destination. Aside from the museums, mosques, palaces and
bazaars there is a new vibe to Istanbul with funky shops and a buzzing
nightlife, which mixes comfortably with 1,000 years of history. Departures on
10th May staying at the 4* Hotel Arcadia
on B&B have prices starting from £449 including flights with British Airways
from London Heathrow. For further information on tickets visit www.formula1.com.
