Press
Release Body: Kuoni Travel, the leading UK long
haul operator, has announced rising popularity for its Egypt
holidays along with plans to strengthen the usability and
customer experience of their site through expanding the use of travel
videos across all key destinations.
Kuoni
are planning to build on Egypt's popularity by expanding the Egypt
Holidays product range to offer more choice to customers.
For 2009 new experiences and hotels will be added, including the
Sofitel El Gerizah in Cairo, a recently refurbished hotel
offering beautiful Nile views. A range of new deluxe properties
built by Sun International in the Red Sea resort of Port
Galib, near Marsa Alam, will also be available and these
make an excellent multi-centre holiday when combined with other
destinations such as Luxor or Cairo.
Alicia
Welsman, Senior Product Manager commented on the growing
popularity of their Egypt holidays:
"As
a destination, Egypt has an enormous amount to
offer; it's relatively close to the UK, has reliably good weather
and presents many cultural and historic attractions as well as fantastic
diving and beaches".
Kuoni
has further strengthened the usability of their site by
launching a new travel video
gallery, as part of their online travel guides. Matt Rooke,
eBuisness Director for Kuoni commented:
"We
now have over 250 videos on our site which provide travellers with
a fantastic opportunity to experience the destinations and hotels
before deciding upon their holiday."
The
video section has proved to be very popular with travellers, as
it enables them to get a real feel for a destination before they
even leave home. So far the Egypt
holiday videos have been the most viewed. The selection
includes an Egypt country video, resort videos
for Cairo, Luxor and Aswan
as well as over 25 hotel videos, including videos for the Four
Seasons at the First Residence in Cairo and the Ritz
Carlton in Sharm El Sheikh.
"The
videos on our site have been extremely popular and the introduction
to Egypt
travel video has been the most popular of these with
over 25,000 views in the last 6 months. We will be offering more
rich media content across all our key destinations, with another
50 videos to be added in the next month alone", said Matt
Rooke.
