Operator introduces Ã¢â¬Ëœpremium inclusiveÃ¢â¬â¢ holidays

Selected hotels in Sardinia and Sicily will be providing more than just breakfast and dinner this summer.

Holiday Options has negotiated new ‘premium inclusive’ breaks with hoteliers following an increase in demand.

The new board basis includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus wine and beer with meals.

The breaks are available at five hotels in Sardinia and two in Sicily, with special introductory deals including savings of up to £174 per person at the three-star Hotel Oasis in Sardinia.

The revised twin share price of £549 per person, applicable to Gatwick departures on May 2, 9 and 16, includes return flights, transfers and premium inclusive accommodation.

The operator’s sales and marketing director Rupert Diggins said: "It’s widely recognised that there’s huge interest in all-inclusive holidays for the summer of 2009 as visitors - due to the economic downturn - are anxious to know how much to budget for their annual break.

"This concept has yet to be embraced in Sardinia and Sicily, but we believe our ‘premium inclusive’ option goes a long way towards satisfying guests’ demand for all-inclusives."
