PLANET would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Year and a really BIG thank you to all of our customers.
It has been a tough year in the travel Industry generally, especially in the last 4 – 5 months with the 3rd biggest Tour operator (XL Holidays) going down in September and the recent crash of the Exchange rates, which has hit us all very hard. We have also seen many of our competitors fall by the way side recently but we are pleased to say that due to the support of our customers and one of the best December’s trading on record, the future for PLANET looks very good indeed.
For 2009 we are planning continued growth into new and more exotic world wide destinations. With the help of our recently launched On Line Booking website (www.planettravelshop.com), the first of its kind in our industry, PLANET are able to offer the widest choice of holidays at the very best prices to be found anywhere in the UK, and all at the click of a button.
So thank you all again and we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy new year.
Recently the small resort of tarifa in Southern Spain seems to be getting the best of it. At this time of year Tarifa is best for the more advanced sailor as it can be quite wavey.
Looking ahead to the next few months the best resort to head for is Kenya (Nyali & Diani), Venezuela (Margarita and Coche Island) and South Africa. Egypt of course is also a good choice, especially for those of more of a budget and with only a five hour flight.
PLANET have now launched a product range of over 600 Extreme Sports Courses, Experience days, Spa & Health treatments and much much more, just in time for Christmas. Whether you are after the perfect gift, an unforgettable experience with your mates, that special romantic gesture, just a day out with a difference or you're looking to get into a new sport, look no further...
All of this can be booked on line with just a few clicks and comes with a free T-Shirt and presented in a stylish Extreme Elements box so you don’t even have to rap !
January is one of the best time to grab a real holiday bargain, prices at this period are at their lowest with prices from around just £299 to include flights, transfers and good accommodation.
Hot Spots to check out include all Egypt resort, Cape verde Islands, Carribbean resort, Kenya and South Africa. All these resort are in a really good season and you will be surprised at the price over this ‘bargain period’.
Looking further ahead it is a good time to be thinking about reserving that family holiday for Easter and the School holidays as prices only get more expensive and the availability become more difficult over these peak times.
There is now a second Club Mistral Center at Ponta Leme since November 1st. Ponta Leme is at the eastern end of the village of Santa Maria right in front of Hotel Sab Sab. From here you step directly on to the flatwater speed slope with side-offshore winds. Cape Leme is about 400 m away and offers nice swell with fabulous conditions for your first waveriding experience.
instruction, as well with the latest Mistral and North Sails equipment. Kitesurf rental and instruction is only available at the “other” centers on Santa Maria beach. HOWEVER; you can surf at both areas with only one voucher!
Cape Town in South Africa is an amazing place to visit for a combination of amazing strong wind combined with a huge amount of other activities in this most stunningly beautiful country. Great food, friendly people, idyllic beaches, superb accommodation and all at fantastic prices !
Cape Town is cheaper than you may think! Planet is able to offer deals from around £850 with direct flights, accommodation and car hire (based on 2 people sharing). We have a good range of hotels and beach from apartments to suite a range of budgets.
The wind season for Cape Town, although VERY reliable, is short and best visited between December and March (with November also quite good).
