Kuoni launches new Australasia and South Pacific brochure for 2010-11

Kuoni has announced the launch of its new brochure featuring a vast array of holiday options in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, French Polynesia and the South Pacific's Cook Islands.

Valid from January 2010 to March 2011, the 215-page brochure features a wide range of holidays, such as wine tasting in the Hunter Valley, a trip along New Zealand's Pacific Coast Highway on a Harley Davidson, snorkelling in French Polynesia and nature breaks in untamed Tasmania. Winter sports fans can also enjoy snowboarding in Western Australia and glacier hiking in New Zealand.

Travellers interested in history and culture can get close to the Nguiu Aboriginal community in Australia's Northern Territory or take another cultural diversion with a Maori family in New Zealand's South Island.

The new Kuoni brochure also highlights activities such as a self-drive itinerary for a six-day Melbourne to Adelaide journey, a 12-night escorted 'Highlights of New Zealand' Tour, over 80 excursions and 45 new flexible adventures in Australia. The brochure also contains many exclusive hotels to Kuoni plus 21 new hotels in Australia, six in New Zealand and ten in the South Pacific.

For the first time the brochure features Airlie Beach in North Queensland, Australia, as a destination while the brochure also offers cricket fans information on the 2010 Ashes which take place between November 2010 and January 2011.

"We've added flexible adventures and experiences to really showcase the sheer diversity of Australia and New Zealand and just how much there is to see and do," explained Jayne White, product manager of Kuoni. "We have also added more motorhomes and hotel passes to match demand for more independent travel."
