Holiday-Rentals from Home Away
|
Holiday Rentals used British Travel Week to encourage people to explore the UK and really see and experience what is on their doorstep. The latest stats show that over 32 million foreign visitors came to the UK in 2007 and stayed for over 250 million nights, whilst another poll found that twice as many Brits have visited Paris as have been to Stonehenge.
British Travel Week raised awareness for Holiday Rentals. We were able to highlight the many benefits of holiday home rentals and encouraged people to explore the fantastic facilities, destinations and holidaying options available in the UK. As a result, Holiday Rentals was featured on 28 radio stations nationwide, reaching an audience of 30 million listeners. Listen to our audio example for a taste of the coverage Home Rentals achieved as part of British Travel Week. https://www.homeaway.co.uk/ |

Butlins
|
In 2010, Butlins partnered with British Travel Week to raise awareness of Butlins and how their holidays are “memory makers”. They were able to communicate that people should stay in Britain for a truly memorable holiday and revealed that creating those happy holiday memories requires no passport.
New research by Butlins revealed that never mind the sun, sand and sangria – British holidays have been voted the most memorable by 63% of people. The findings come from a study into happy memories by this family holiday company. As a result, Butlins were able to achieve coverage for 18 stations with a total of more than 31 million listeners.

Fentimans
|
British Travel Week also welcomed Fentimans as a partner in 2010 and we helped provide coverage to raise awareness of the Fentimans botanically brewed Ginger Beer and to position it as the ideal drink to enjoy whilst travelling. The media coverage aimed to educate the listeners into the history and heritage of the Fentimans brand.
Whilst Britons enjoy the range of holidays available in the UK, many of them may suffer from the symptoms of travel sickness. However, Ginger has proven qualities to combat this by reducing the tendency to vomit and ease the symptoms that come with travel sickness. Unlike other Ginger Beers, Fentimans' process starts with fermenting the finest Chinese ginger root. Raising awareness for Fentimans meant that it reached an audience of over 800 thousand, appearing on 18 radio stations.
