THG Holidays is a fully bonded tour operator and holds a trading license with ABTA, ATOL and IATA. OUR PRICES We have made a deliberate point of not including any prices in the brochure this year. This is because the economic conditions we are working in are becoming increasingly more volatile and prices of key components such as hotels and airfares are changing on a regular basis. When this is coupled with fluctuating fuel prices and airline taxes we find that brochure prices are far less relevant than in the past. As a consequence, please use this brochure as a collection of ideas and hotel recommendations and contact THG Holidays or your local travel agent to determine the best available price.
