EMIRATES Holidays has unveiled their 2011-2012 Ski & Winter Holidays Brochure with 18 selected destinations across six countries, that are offering idyllic winter getaways. From the snow-capped mountains and chic fashion boutiques of St Moritz, Switzerland to the quaint Christmas markets of Munich, Germany, there is something for everyone.
Last year, Emirates Holidays experienced an increase of over 50 per cent in winter getaways as more families, groups and couples opted for a memorable white Christmas. “The popularity of the winter getaway has continued to increase in Dubai as more and more travellers seek the traditional winter experience in cities that truly exemplify the winter wonderland concept. With the early advance of Eid which reduced the summer holidays for many, we expect winter bookings to be even more popular this year and will continue to grow our destination and hotel portfolio to cater to this growing demand,” commented Frederic Bardin, senior vice president of Emirates Holidays.
The wide range of complete tours and bespoke itinerary options across Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Lebanon, the US and Canada provides options for all budgets and tastes, and in the spirit of the season, Emirates Holidays has developed a series of unique packages to enable guests to make the most of their retreat. In addition, Skywards members booking their winter holiday will receive up to 20 per cent bonus miles when they book hotel accommodation for a minimum of Three nights.
With prices starting from Dh4,795 ($1,305) for a romantic break in Innsbruck, Austria to Sophisticated St Moritz, Switzerland for Dh8,839 ($2,406), the rates are all per person on twin-sharing basis and include return economy, three to five-nights’ accommodation with breakfast, and room tax and service charges. Closer to home, travellers can stay at the Faraya-Mzaar in Lebanon, a picturesque ski and winter destination for Dh4,480 ($1,219) per person on twin-sharing basis for three nights on half-board basis and include return economy airfare Dubai to Beirut, return airport transfers by private car, room tax and service charges.
