In keeping with its adventurous and pioneering nature, Families Worldwide has launched its latest blockbuster brochure featuring 13 new trips to 11 countries including seven new, tailor-made destinations for those who prefer to design their own itineraries and travel independently, with friends or as an extended family.

Comments Mark Wright, the man who introduced the family adventure holiday concept to the UK: “Finding new ways in which to satisfy the Indiana Jones-like adventurous spirit our customers possess is always a challenge. But the new brochure will leave families spoilt for choice; we have everything from active journeys in Costa Rica, Turkey or Catalunya to exploratory adventures in the Amazon Jungle, discovering the Atlas Mountains of Morocco or sailing down the Nile...

“In fact so confident are we in our ability to deliver a better family adventure holiday experience than any other company, that we are offering a discount of up to £125 pp for first time bookers because we are certain they will travel with us again. We also offer a 5% loyalty discount and a ‘pioneering’ bonus of £50 off for the first family to book any given group trip.”

Prices start at just £269 pp for the Turkey Sailing Week (Land Only).
