Striding ahead despite a flagging pound

Ramblers Worldwide Holidays – one of Britain’s leading walking holidays specialist operators – has reported a steady growth in business to a wide range of its destinations – despite the current weakness of the pound.

Notable amongst these are, the United Kingdom, Norway, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Thailand, Morocco, Bulgaria, South Africa and Canada.

Commenting on this trend, the operator’s joint Managing Director Kathy Cook said, “We have been extremely encouraged by this ’better than anticipated’ growth in our business. Recent surveys have identified Thailand and South Africa as being some of the best value destinations currently and we would certainly endorse this. With clients being increasingly more cost conscious I’m sure that they will now find many of these long haul destinations and some shorter haul destinations more easily within their financial reach.”

Kathy Cook added, “At a time when financial security and confidence are paramount, we put much of our growth in bookings down to our recently introduced ‘Best Price Guarantee’ pledge and our membership of ABTA and AITO, which offers 100% financial protection to all clients.”
