Kuoni launches 2010 brochure with some prices lower than 2009

Kuoni has launched its 2010 Worldwide brochure, with some prices are lower than 2009.

Head of product Wendy Kenneally said: "Many prices for 2010 are the same or lower than last year. This is either from new airline deals, hotel deals or ground arrangements for tours, some of which are valid throughout 2010 and some for certain periods of the year.

"We donÃ¢â¬â¢t expect demand to fall in 2010, but we always strive for value for money particularly now, in light of currency movements and the economic climate, and we are working closely with our partners to bring the best deals to the market."

Some 2010 prices have been reduced by as much as 20%.

For example, Shangri La's Tanjung Aru in the 2009 Worldwide brochure for May/June date band costs from Ã&#pound;1279 per person for five nights, room only basis in a Kinabalu Mountainview, including flights and transfers.

It is now available to book in the 2010 Worldwide brochure for May/June date band from Ã&#pound;1024 - a reduction of Ã&#pound;255 per person.

The long-haul specialist said the brochure also features a broader range of entry level prices, a range of exclusive offers and a wide selection of Earlybird incentives.

Kuoni has added new hotels and experiences in most destinations.

Lead-in price is Ã&#pound;525 per person based on two sharing for seven nights at the Mercure Hotel Luxor in a standard room with breakfast, including flights with Egyptair from Heathrow and transfers in resort.
