Thomson opens first Holiday Design Store in London
Thomson has opened its first ever Holiday Design Store in London.
The store, in Westfield Stratford City, follows openings in Bluewater Shopping Centre, Gateshead’s Metrocentre and Sheffield’s Meadowhall as well as Liverpool, Bristol and Glasgow city centres in the last two years.
The 1,500 square foot store features high definition screens and projections featuring destination and hotel content.
Holidaymakers will be able to view ‘top 10’ lists and live weather information, read reviews and view videos of destinations and hotels.
Customers will be encouraged to tweet their name and the holiday they purchased to see it on a social media screen.
Various events are planned to celebrate the opening, including a Disney family day on Saturday with ‘Streetmosphere’ entertainers, face painting and balloon modelling for kids.
On Sunday, Thomson Airway’s cabin crew will serve tea, coffee and scones.
