Press Release: Are your family Flintstones, Osbournes or Windsors?
23 November 2004
Family travel expert Take the Family (www.takethefamily.com) has come
up with a fun new way to decide how much you should spend on your family
holiday, named after three of the world’s most famous families:
- THE FLINTSTONES (3 star) for when value is more important than luxury.
- THE OSBOURNES (4 star) very nice but not at an absurd price.
- And for 5-star, blow-the-kids’-inheritance-style luxury…THE
WINDSORS.
Takethefamily.com director Andy Cook said: “We’ve found
that families tend to know how much they want to spend but aren’t
always sure how far their money will go.
“What’s more, families often switch between budget levels.
For example, they’ll choose a ‘FLINTSTONES’ week over
half-term in The Canaries and then decide to treat themselves to a ‘WINDSORS’
weekend break at a luxury UK hotel with childcare.”
Mr Cook added: “Some families want the lap of luxury. Others
prefer the knees of normality. And we wanted to be realistic. Among
all the hot deals and special offers on the web at the moment, we thought
it would be refreshing to give an honest assessment of how much you’re
looking at spending on a decent family break."
At takethefamily.com, we don’t want to promise the World if your
money would go further in the Lakes. But we do promise to find you the
very best value for your money.”
And regardless of what kind of family you are, the best way to guarantee
great value for next summer at Take the Family is by booking before
year end. In fact, FLINTSTONE and OSBOURNE families could save over
£1,000 by taking advantage of the following offers:
- Club Med: 5% Take the Family discounts plus an additional £300
per booking off summer 2005 if booking before Dec. 31st 2004.
- Simply Holidays: 5% Take the Family discounts and a free annual travel
insurance policy.
- Sunsail Holidays: up to 20% discount with Take the Family for summer
2005 if booked by Dec 31st
- Mark Warner: Save 6% on 2005 skiing and summer holidays
And if you’re a WINDSOR why not ski at Easter with Powder Bryne…and
stay for seven nights while paying for just six.
