PRICE CRUNCH – Changes for 2010

We have been looking at our dates for the coming calendar year, and also ways in which we can keep our prices low, but still maintain the high quality and standards our customers have come to expect from us.

With this in mind, we have made a few small changes to our packages!

The package will still include the following:

Return travel by air or coach. Including transfers to and from accommodation.
Finding the work placement
Group leader guidance
Organisation of optional social programme
Information and newsletters
Course certificate
Travel and medical insurance

However from 2010, we will now be offering trips on a slightly different board basis.
Instead of providing students 7 nights on a Half Board basis, we will be offering 3 nights Half Board and 4 nights Bed & Breakfast.

There are a number of reasons for this, the main being a suitable way of keeping our prices down, and making the trip more affordable in the current economic climate. We have also taken into account students’ feedback from previous trips where they have commented that they cannot always have their evening meal because they are at work.

All too often we have received comments from students that the food didn’t have enough variety, that it wasn’t traditional enough, or that it was too traditional! Also with a growing number of students being fussy, having particular dietary requirements and allergies, this gives them the freedom to choose rather than stick to a set menu! Additionally it provides them further opportunity to practise their language skills and experience the real culture of the country.

These changes will be brought in for all 2010 trips, apart from host family trips.
