If you have seen ‘Holidays From Hell’ and the Easy Jet series on television then you will know after reading this book that those programs barely scratch the surface. Package Tour by Vincent Cobb gives us a wonderful insight into the history of this relatively new industry and at its outset featuring a world of dilapidated hotels populated by indifferent hoteliers deliberately overbooking rooms along with poorly serviced aircraft journeying passengers on 1-mile high roller-coaster rides and after interminable delays. Millions of us take package holidays for granted every year but did you ever wonder how it all began? Thanks to Vincent Cobb’s 35 years experience working in the travel industry culminating in his position as Managing director of Thomson Holidays we can learn about all the tricks they had to get up to, which formed the basis of the business at its outset. This fascinating book allows us to observe the industries steep learning curve from it’s infancy in the late 50’s to the present day using you the public as guinea pigs. You will find this a gripping yet refreshingly humorous account. The author will tell you of dramatic journeys by plane, coach and ship, both by day and night, involving relentless pressure and many sleepless nights. Fasten your seat belts and get ready for a bumpy ride!
