Record Day for Gambia Bookings

28 January 2009

Despite the recession, The Gambia Experience announced a record day for bookings last Monday (26 Jan) when agency sales to The Gambia exceeded expectations with sales higher than on any single day since January 2005.

The tour operator revealed that 50% of the bookings were for its top end properties, the majority of which were from the ‘luxury collection’ hotels including Ngala Lodge, Mandina Lodges at Makasutu and the newly opened Coco Ocean Resort & Spa.

Jason Dicks, the tour operator’s agency sales manager comments:
“This is amazing news, considering the current economic situation and we would like to thank all our travel agents for their continued support. The Gambia is proving an attractive destination for UK holidaymakers who are keen to avoid the Eurozone plus, with the increase in high quality accommodation, it’s also more appealing to those who would traditionally have travelled further afield for winter sun.”

The Gambia Experience is currently offering 7 nights bed & breakfast at boutique hotel Ngala Lodge from £799 per person for its Gatwick and Bristol departures in March 09. This price is based on two sharing and includes return flights; in-flight meals, transfers, regional flight supplement, airport taxes & government tourist tax.
