The package holiday industry |
|
Initially published by Blackie and Co. as the Package Tour Industry and now re published by M-Y books as the Package Holiday Industry. This is a revised edition of the book that observes from the witty, dry but also sympathetic point of view of a man who was most definitely there at the beginning of it all. As one of the pioneers of the early foreign holiday business Vincent has written a book chronicling the birth pains of the package holiday business that as one of the first directors of Thomson Holidays and later as the man who gave us the 18 – 30 holiday now sees the Costa sun setting slowly on the Horizon. Soon to be featured on the new Channel Four Documentaries about the history of the package tour business Vincent’s stories of this time of when the British population first got a taste for sun sea sex and Sangria is by turns both amusing and Gob smacking as looking back through his eyes you realize the real risks people took with their lives when boarding the early charter planes to the sun let alone when they finally get to the overbooked hotels and resorts whose sanitation infrastructure often had not been modified since Roman times. |
