Central Holidays has made a lasting impression on the travel industry. The tour operator has been around for more than 45 years and offers a wide breadth of options to its guests as well as a lasting commitment to personalized service.
Established in 1972, Central Holidays presents travel packages, tailor-made travel programs and group travel opportunities to destinations throughout Italy, Egypt and the Mediterranean, including travel to Greece, France, Spain, Portugal, Malta and Croatia. The company also offers a variety of opportunities in Latin America and Cuba as well as Africa and West Asia, including programs in Israel, Oman, Jordan, Dubai and South Africa.
"We are passionate travelers ourselves, enthusiastic about showing the corners of the world to others and, as such, we present the most authentically rich experiences," said Tewfik Ghattas, a board member for SGI. "The values that Central Holidays embodies continue to shine in our exemplary client service, destination expertise and our meticulously planned, affordable-luxury travel packages."
With Central Holidays, travelers can select their preferred method of travel. The company offers escorted tours, hosted itineraries, independent travel, customized group travel, fly/drive vacations, ocean and river cruises, plus niche offerings such as honeymoons, religious pilgrimages, special interest vacations and culinary travel opportunities.
In addition, Central Holidays' robust Signature Escorted Tours further set the company apart. These journeys include hand-selected hotels located in the heart of every destination within walking distance from many attractions.
"Staying in the heart of each city makes it easy to stroll to nearby restaurants, cafes, entertainment venues and attractions during time at leisure, offering vacationers the maximum time and flexibility-not to mention additional savings on transportation-to explore and enjoy each stop along a trip," said Ghattas.
Guests can enjoy cooking classes in Europe and Latin America-as well as wine excursions; tours for art aficionados; spiritual travel itineraries. There are also authentically rich accommodations options including castles, villas, lodges and chateau stays.
"The entire Central Holidays staff-from our headquarters team in the United States, to our offices in Italy and Egypt, and expert destination management staff throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, Latin America, Africa and Western Asia-is with you every step of the way," said Ghattas. "They are there from the planning stages and beyond-personally anticipating and fulfilling your needs throughout your trip."
Personalized service is one of Central Holidays' trademarks. Its hand-selected travel pros know the industry and the destinations they serve intricately with a high level of expertise regarding attractions, food, hotels, excursions and any other requests.
"It's a key trait that sets Central Holidays apart from others and keeps travelers exploring the world with us time and time again," noted Ghattas. "The company's superior level of repeat travelers is a testimony to that."
Destination specialists are another trademark of Central Holidays' service and are one of the key benefits of working with the company.
