AAT Kings recently launched its 2012/13 Australia programme with more experiences, properties and value for money. The tour company has a new standard guided tour product, which couples best value for money inclusions with the highlights of each destination.
The new programme includes You Are Invited experiences and accommodation in properties including Cable Beach Club Resort, Castaway Resort in the Mission Beach, Wildman Wilderness Lodge in the Top End and Emma Gorge Resort in El Questro National Park.
AAT Kings has also upgraded accommodation across the board with the Novotel, Crowne Plaza and Mantra brands consistently used throughout the programs.
In response to market trends AAT Kings has also increased its offering of two-night stays at selected destinations, such as at the Breakfree Resort French Quarter, Noosa. Clients will have a greater opportunity to experience the destination they are visiting with plenty of time to enjoy optionals or soak up the free time on offer.
AAT Kings managing director Tammy Marshall said: “This year we have proactively sought out customer feedback and made adjustments to provide a new standard.
“A key highlight of our programme is the You Are Invited feature, available across the majority of itineraries. This opportunity ensures clients have the chance to immerse themselves in the local communities they are visiting. You Are Invited experiences in 2012/13 include visiting Australia’s oldest operating rum distillery in Kununurra and enjoying outback cuisine and local rum with the distillery owners. Or in Central Australia, clients will dine at the Earth Sanctuary Nature Centre and meet and learn about the sustainable lifestyle of the local Falzon brothers.”
AAT Kings’ 2012/13 brochures for the Western Australia and the Northern Territory programmes are being distributed to agents in coming weeks, while the Queensland and Southern Australia programme will be available to sell in November.
