Sunvil launches new “Holiday Offers & Late Availability” web portal

Aug. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Travellers hunting for a good deal on their next holiday need look no further than Sunvil’s new Holiday Offers & Late Availability web portal. With holiday offers in 2012/13 for Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Sicily, Portugal, Madeira and the Azores, plus late availability deals for Greece and the Azores, Sunvil has something for everyone looking to make their holiday budget go further.

There are no extra costs or hidden fees when booking with Sunvil – just the basic 2% charge if paying by credit card – meaning that the price you see online is the price you pay.

Sunvil’s Managing Director, Noel Josephides, says: “We offer travellers honest deals which are fair to our suppliers and help promote sustainable tourism. This web portal is a useful tool for travel agents and travellers alike.  It means that our offers are available 24/7 – interestingly, about 20% of our business for Greece now comes in online – but, of course, we still welcome calls to our knowledgeable reservations team from agents and consumers alike.”

How does it work?

Visit www.sunvil.co.uk and click on the special offers tab. From here there are two choices:

Holiday offers: designed for travellers who like to plan ahead. Input destination, dates for travel and select offer types including two-weeks-for-the-price-of-one deals, honeymoon offers, kids’ discounts, spa hotel deals and many more.

Late availability: for more spontaneous travellers. This section – fully automated and updated every morning* – shows last-minute deals to Greece and the Azores departing from London Gatwick, Manchester and Bristol. Input destination, dates for travel, number of travellers and receive up-to-the-minute deals to 21 Greek islands and six Azorean isles. There is also an all destinations search filter for those who like to go where the wind takes them.

This web portal is updated on a daily basis, so it’s important to check regularly for the best available prices.
