Creative Holidays’ Bali program booms

Creative Holidays says their 2008/2009 Bali program has been going gang busters, with 2008 sales booming.

The recently released Bali program has experienced substantial growth, which indicates a really positive outlook for the destination.  

The 2008/2009 brochure includes a diverse range of sightseeing and excursions and a wide variety of accommodation packages with dedicated sections on sightseeing and excursions, South Kuta, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Tanah Lot, Sanur, Nusa Dua and Tanjung Benoa, Jimbaran Bay, Ubud, Candi Dasa, Nusa Lembongan and Lombok.

Andrew Yell, general manager, sales, marketing and product, Creative Holidays [pictured right] said, “Bali is an incredibly diverse, great value destination which, with the continued support of the travel industry and consumers, will remain a favourite holiday destination for Australians.

“We have seen a real increase in demand to Bali already this year which continues to gain momentum. With these trends indicating market change we predict a considerable increase in the most popular areas of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak. We also expect to see this flow onto greater sales for Sanur, Nusa Dua and Jimbaran.

“Already specific products are showing early signs of growth, like our four and five-star hotels, villa properties and luxury boutique hotels.”

“One of the key reasons behind Bali’s ongoing popularity is the range of accommodation options available, from budget to five-star deluxe. Bali has something for everyone with experiences such as spa treatments, great shopping, jungle treks, cooking classes and a range of water sports and activities. Plus, the Balinese people are incredibly friendly and welcoming which really enhances the holiday experience.”

“There are some fantastic new villa properties in Seminyak on offer in our new program, including the Seminyak Suite, which offer luxury and privacy only minutes from the trendy shops and restaurants in the area.”

“A One Bedroom Villa is priced from $145 per person, twin share, per night, but we also have special bonus offers for guests at the Seminyak Suite with a bonus dinner and one hour massage per adult and late check out included if you stay a minimum five nights.”

“Another of the great villa options on offer is the Downtown Villas which is a striking property that offers the best of luxury and indulgence with private pools and outdoor spaces.”

“We have put a lot of time and effort into including an extensive variety of locations and accommodation categories with standards to cater for all tastes.”

“Inclusive holidays are the most popular purchase for Bali including air, transfers and accommodation.”

“Agents should capitalise on this and really up-sell.”  “Many of our hotels brochured feature special offers, including bonus nights, room upgrades and value added offers, all of which help close sales.”
