It’s Our Shout


Our new promotion in ABX Bar, “It’s Our Shout”, is proving to be very popular. Each night between 5pm and 7pm there is a special offer. If you like, it’s a modern take on ‘Happy Hour’. There is a different offer each night, tonight for example all drinks are half price. Other nights include offers such as receiving complimentary cheese and crackers with a glass of wine, a complimentary canapĂ© with a cocktail or even great deals on beer and champagne. Offering great value and a good selection seems to be a winning combination.

What To Pack

No, I’m not talking about what to put in a suitcase but rather what to put in an accommodation package. Does it really matter what’s in a package or are people now just buying based on price alone? Maybe the breakfast, room upgrade, drinks, massages and the like aren’t really desired anymore, or are they?

What Makes A Holiday Good?

Having just returned from a holiday in Tahiti I’ve been thinking, what is it that actually makes a holiday a good holiday? Is it the destination, the transportation, the weather, the hotel, the things to see and do, the local residents or perhaps it’s a combination of it all? Having been to Tahiti a few years back it was not one of my favourite destinations, this time around though my opinion has changed and I put it down to a combination of all of the above. I do wonder though, that in general, is there one element of a holiday that is or should be more outstanding than the rest?
