“What’s a Travel Delicatessen?”, you might well ask. Everyone understands the concept of a delicatessen, despite the fact that it’s a German word. Think delicatessen, and you think specialist suppliers, small quantities of particularly delectable food made by experts in their field and unusual foodie delights.

Hence Travel Delicatessen explains the focus of AITO Specialist Travel Agents – specialist suppliers (but of holidays rather than food), particularly delectable holidays created by experts in their field and unusual but very desirable holiday delights.

If you’re a delicatessen shopper and appreciate the finer things in life, then AITO Specialist Travel Agents’ Travel Delicatessen concept is for you! Around 25 travel agencies in locations across the UK will hold Travel Delicatessen events – see below for dates – that will be themed to particular travel destinations or types of holiday. Experts will be on hand to discuss specifics, special added-value offers will be available and tasty nibbles and drinks will be served to make the events as convivial as possible.

In this specialist, 1:1 arena, you’ll find holidays that you didn’t dream existed, and you’ll find personal – and very knowledgeable - service par excellence. It’s hugely reassuring to be able to talk to someone who’s sampled precisely the type of holiday you’re pondering, and to be able to quiz them on aspects of it about which you are keen to know more. Whether it’s restaurant recommendations or the best beach, what to wear on safari or which jabs to have, an AITO expert will be able to brief you comprehensively on your queries and to advise you on the type of accommodation that’s likely to suit you and your party best.

Once you’re happy with your holiday selection, the AITO Specialist Travel Agent will make your booking. This is the hassle-free route to holiday planning – you specify your choice, hand it over to the holiday consultant and sit back and relax. Your role is restricted to provision of the wherewithal to pay! If you sit at a PC all day, as many of us do, it’s a real bonus not to have to battle your way through web page after web page to book a trip. And the bonus of expert advice is the icing on the cake.

AITO Specialist Travel Agents – the civilised way to book a holiday.
