So, that’s it.  England have bowed out of the World Cup (again).  We at Thomson and First Choice recognise that some footy fans (and their families…) will now want to literally get away from it all. “We expect huge demand this week for Summer holidays,” said Alex Loftus, Head of Product.  “We anticipated that many would wait to see how England might do before booking their holiday, so have ensured that we’ve got some fantastic late deals available for the many people that will be looking to get away from it all over the next few weeks.”

Although hoteliers and local bars do show live sport in these days of technological advances (not, alas, extended to goal lines obviously…), Thomson and First Choice have a host of properties around the world for anyone who’s left it late to book their summer holiday.  Our retail holiday advisors, call centre staff and comprehensive online content means that customers can easily find out what’s right for them over the next few weeks.  Both Thomson and First Choice offer a choice of destinations where they can follow the rest of the action, or the place to avoid whilst in their holiday destination.
Concludes Alex: “Combined with a selection of fantastic offers and a weakening Euro, the days following England’s exit has never been better if you’re looking to book a great late deal with Thomson and First Choice.”
