Contiki’s OZ and NZ program out now

The depth and breadth of the Contiki product range doesn’t stop with Europe. In fact for travellers looking for some adventure closer to home Contiki has launched its 07 08 Australia and New Zealand programs, full of great holidays which showcase the best of each region.

The new brochures include 17 Australian and seven New Zealand tours covering the Northern Territory and east coast of Australia, as well as the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Contiki’s Australia program has great holiday ideas priced from only $111 per day and the New Zealand program starts at just $98 per day which means consultants can book their clients knowing they are getting the best price with none of the usual holiday hassles.

Tammy Marshall, MD Contiki Holidays said, “All of Contiki’s Australia and New Zealand products have been specifically designed for like-minded travellers between 18 and 35.”

“The philosophy behind our trips is simple – we love, live and breathe travel and design all our trips with young people who also love to travel in mind. With over 40 years experience and a reputation for quality, travel consultants can rest easy when booking with Contiki as every year our programs evolve to suit the changing needs and desires of this market and its sub-groups.”

“We have introduced three new tours in Australia this year, the Aussie Explorer, Bridge to Reef and Ocean to Outback which really complete our selection of east coast and NT options.”

“2007 also sees us launch new technology on our coaches with ‘Charging on the Go’. This means passengers travelling with Contiki need never worry about a flat battery the moment it is needed most because our coaches will be fitted out with charging units, so they can re-charge personal electronic items like iPods, mp3 players, digital cameras and mobile phones on the coach, on the go.”

“This facility has been introduced to ensure we remain on the pulse of what’s important to young travellers and it is a free service for anyone travelling with Contiki.”

“We know that young travellers want to combine culture and travel, which is why this year we have included events information around Australia and this is a great resource for agents and their clients ensuring travellers make the most of their trip by packaging it up to coincide with an event or activity.”

“We also understand travellers value free time – this is their holiday – which is why we offer optional activities and Tthese tours can easily be mixed and matched for maximum choice (including Australia and New Zealand combinations) and more free time for independent exploration.”

“Finally, in a step to make selling Contiki even easier for agents we have compiled a range of juicy deals offering further discounts off the already great value price of our tours, with these deals include early payment discounts, group discounts, reverse itinerary savings and discounts when combing more than one tour.”

Every Contiki holiday includes unique accommodation, stylish transport, an experienced driver and tour manager, great sightseeing and many meals at one simple tour price.
