ETS wins UKInbound Tour Operator of the Year Award 2007
London, February 2008 - for an amazing third year in succession, European Travel Services has won the UKInbound Tour Operator of the Year Award as voted for by the associate membership of the association.
"To win for a second year running was fantastic but to take the award for a third consecutive year really is something to be proud of. It says a great deal about the commitment and loyalty of all our team in London, who have worked exceptionally hard over the last twelve months" commented Jim Brown, Managing Director of ETS.
"With hotels achieving high occupancies, it's been a difficult year and we really have had to pull out all the stops to service our clients" he added.

Group accommodation
No matter what size of group or nature of the programme, we'd be delighted to assist! We work with all global hotel chains as well as many individual, privately owned hotels throughout Great Britain and therefore have something to suit all accommodation needs and budgets!
If you're planning for summer 2009, we strongly advise not to leave it too long with your requests, particularly in the more traditional hotspots such as Edinburgh, Cornwall and the South West, which are limited on availability and therefore prices are increasing. London is also proving very popular so if you're needing hotel space and/or any group related services, please contact Ian Fail, our groups manager, at ian@etsuk.com.

Hotel changes
We've a number of new hotels through the UK, particularly in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and Bristol. Accor have a number of new properties throughout the UK as do Folio Hotels. Hilton are looking to roll out their Double Tree and Hampton brands in the near future, with the initial hotel being in Aberdeen. Availability generally is improving with the global economic issues having an adverse effect on occupancies, particularly in traditional hotspots such as Edinburgh and Dublin. In London, we've added some 25 new hotels to our portfolio and we now have well over 220 hotels under contract from budget to deluxe. Further hotel news to follow as and when.
