Kuoni celebrates centenary with 70-destination programme.
Kuoni has launched a Worldwide programme for its centenary year in 2006, featuring for the first time China’s exclusive beach resort Hainan Island and a tour to the ancient sites of Libya.
The brochure features nearly 70 countries around the world and new properties include boutique hotels in Thailand and Sri Lanka, as well as Thailand’s first safari-style Elephant Hills Camp.
Kuoni UK managing director Sue Biggs said there had been a growth in demand for unique experiences and consequently clients could now book tours ranging from ranching in Argentina to hot air ballooning over Sri Lanka.
“Never before have we seen so much interest in life-changing experiences being an intrinsic part of our holidays. For 2006 we have added experiences which founder Alfred Kuoni could only have dreamed of when he started the company in 1906,” she said.
Kuoni’s flagship tour is a Cairo to Cape package, travelling by river boat, private plane and train. All profits from the trip go to the Born Free charity.
Kuoni Plus offers include complimentary hotel nights and regional flights as well as discounts for booking early. The lead price for the programme is £289 per person for four nights room and breakfast at the Sheraton Hammamet in Tunisia.
