2021 Tynedale Group Travel
Welcome to our 2021 Brochure
We send you good wishes for health and happiness following an unprecedented year and hope that you, like us, are looking
forward to 2021 with renewed enthusiasm for whatever form the ‘new normal’ will take..

As a family-owned business, we have been offering UK and European coaching holidays for over 30 years but due to uncertainty
surrounding travel restrictions across Europe, in the short term we have decided to concentrate on holidays throughout the UK and Ireland
for 2021. Our new brochure therefore contains a programme of exciting home-grown destinations and itineraries which include some
new short breaks and holidays as well as some much-loved destinations and themed breaks. As always, our itineraries offer wonderful
inclusions and excursions to add value to your holiday. From gardens, castles and museums to train journeys, boat rides and beaches we
believe that there is something for everyone within this brochure and we hope you enjoy browsing.

Book with confidence
For your Financial Protection we continue to be members of the Bonded Coach Holidays Scheme run by The Confederation of Passenger
Transport UK, the national trade association for coach operators. This means that your payments to us have full financial protection to
give you complete peace of mind and further details are on page 2 of this brochure. Additionally, whether you’ve paid in full or just the
deposit, if Tynedale Group Travel has to cancel your holiday for any reason you will receive a full refund. We are also pleased to confirm
that our optional travel insurance now provides Covid-19 cancellation cover as standard – please see page 21 for further details.

We hope you will take the opportunity to join us as we explore some fabulous destinations throughout 2021.

We look forward to your company
