Exclusive Product Extras are 'Uniquely H&J' in New Far East Collection

    WEST SUSSEX, ENGLAND, July 26, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Long haul holidaymakers travelling to the Far East with Hayes & Jarvis will now be able to receive exclusive product extras in selected resorts in Thailand, Malaysia and Bali as part of a new Uniquely H&J concept available exclusively in its Far East Collection 2011/2012 brochure (0844 415 1918, www.hayesandjarvis.com). The long haul specialist is offering Uniquely H&J exclusive extras ranging from complimentary meals, spa treatments and room upgrades to food and drink discounts and resort credits in 16 leading resort hotels.

In Phuket, for example, a 10-night flight inclusive stay at the four star Kata Beach Resort costs from just GBP1,229 per person and as part of the Thailand holiday package Uniquely H&J customers will receive a free set dinner for two and a 30-minute spa treatment into the bargain.

At Penang's four-star plus Hard Rock Hotel on Batu Ferringhi Beach, H&J clients taking a five-night break will qualify for a guaranteed room upgrade as well as discounts on a la carte dining in the Startz Diner and selected spa treatments. Five-night packages start from GBP1,119 per person.

Hayes & Jarvis Programme Director Lesley Rollo said: "In recent years, price-led initiatives like our ongoing 'Unmistakable Value' pledge have been key elements in H&J's growing success. Now we have carefully selected a range of hotels in our most popular Far East resorts and negotiated a collection of exclusive added value incentives for our customers, offering very tangible price benefits."

Turning its attention to family long haul travel, Hayes & Jarvis is focusing on this sector with the offer of guaranteed interconnecting rooms in Thailand and Malaysia. 16 resorts covering all grades of accommodation have committed to the offer. These include the five-star Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa (one week from GBP5,295 for a family of four), the four-star Merlin Beach Resort on Phuket (one week from GBP3,795 for a family of four) and the three-star Green Park Resort, Pattaya (one week from GBP2,995 for a family of four).

Lesley Rollo said: "One of the main considerations for parents travelling with children is to have a guarantee of a family room together or rooms with interconnecting doors. The offer of guaranteed interconnecting rooms will therefore be a great reassurance to parents considering a long haul trip. We think it will appeal particularly to families with older children, where both parents and kids want their own space."

In addition to these new brochure features, H&J has boosted its product portfolio in both Thailand and Malaysia, the latter having seen a 70 per cent growth in demand this year on the back of clever discounting moves by hoteliers and airlines. As a result, Langkawi's most exclusive hotel, The Datai, comes back into the programme while in Borneo the new Nexus Resort & Spa Karambunai, a four-star property on a six kilometre stretch of sandy beach with an adjacent 18-hole championship golf course, has been added (five nights from GBP1,119 per person).

Hayes & Jarvis Far East Collection features holidays in Bali, Thailand, Cambodia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam and is valid for bookings from September 2010 until March 2012. Brochure prices start from GBP899 per person (based on two sharing) for a five-night B&B package at Orchidacea Resort in Phuket, Thailand (30 September 2011) and include return flights from London Heathrow with transfers.
