Two new brochures, Wintersun 2008/9 and Summersun 2009 will go on sale on 31 July featuring Direct Holidays’ new look and offering together with a lowest price guarantee.

Thomas Cook executive director of marketing Simon Carter says: “Direct Holidays is about real holidays for real people and we wanted to reflect this in our new brand positioning.”

Direct Holidays is operated as a stand alone brand with its own website, call centre and six retail stores.
