HOLIDAY giant Airtours has brought out its 2006 Summer Sun brochure with departures direct from Belfast to 17 destinations.

Customers have the opportunity to take advantage of some great early booking offers for next summer, including adult savings of up to £100 per couple, two weeks for the price of one, free child places and an increased number of single parent deals.

Owen Whitehead, Director of Marketing for Airtours, commented: "Holidaymakers are looking for value and we want people to book early. With less overall capacity on the market, we are keen to encourage people to start thinking about next year's holiday now. "We have also added a new destination to next summer's collection: Bulgaria, increasing the number of short-haul non Euro zone destinations we feature and representing real value for money for British holidaymakers."

The Summer Sun 2006 brochure offers an extensive selection of quality accommodation in 16 countries, with something to suit all tastes and budgets as well as special deals for groups, individual travellers, families and single parents.

Airtours also continues to focus on enhancing its range of products and services for its customers. One such example is the new Madagascar themed Childrens' Clubs, based on this year's smash hit kids' film, for children aged between three and 10, as well as creche facilities for babies and toddlers.

With a new flight from Belfast to Paphos, Cyprus for Summer 2006, there are flights from Belfast to 17 Airtours Summer Sun destinations, with free award-winning 'trayless' in-flight meals, as well as the option to pre-book seating. Lead-in prices for next summer start from £279 for seven nights in Serrera Blanca, Majorca, based on five adults sharing an apartment, departing from Belfast between May 1-10.
