Welcome to the
ALFA TRAVEL
BROCHURE
Hello…… and a warm welcome to our NEW 2022 brochure, featuring a handpicked collection of
holidays to the UK and Ireland’s finest seaside destinations, with amazing included excursions and
seasonal offers – all designed to make memories that will last a lifetime.
As the UK’s only Employee Owned Travel Group, our team of ‘Alfa Travel Memory Makers’ have been
busy designing a fantastic new range of holiday experiences within the UK and Ireland especially with
our customers in mind. Working with our very own 3 AA star rated Leisureplex Hotels and carefully
selected Alfa preferred partner hotels, our unique range of tours take in some of the ‘must see’
destinations from the world-famous, to those magical ‘hidden gems’.
Whether you have always fancied seeing the spectacular Scottish Highlands or would simply prefer a
nice relaxing break by the seaside, you are sure to find a holiday that is perfect for you. Why not join us
on one of our special events or weekend breaks this year, or celebrate with the Alfa Leisureplex family
with our range of tempting festive, Christmas & New Year breaks?
Whether you choose to sit back and take in stunning views from the comfort of your personal, luxury
seat on our Coach Holidays, or you prefer to experience the freedom to go as you please on our Self
Drive Hotel Breaks in your own car, you’re always assured of the same great Alfa hospitality.
Our experience and heritage means we are truly trusted by our customers who book with us again and
again, and as an employee owned business that’s something that makes us all very proud.
Don’t forget, there is so much included all year round with Alfa Travel, meaning our holidays truly are
great value for money whatever time of year you choose to travel. With lots of single rooms available,
no hidden charges for seats or pick ups and a fantastic range of 20 destinations to choose from with
Leisureplex hotels, plus a whole host of tempting partner breaks, what more reason do you need to
get away.
Whether you have travelled with us before or are looking to holiday with us for the first time, we invite
you to browse our tempting range of holidays so you can experience the ‘Alfa Difference’ for yourself.
We look forward to welcoming you on board in 2022 and thank you for your continued support.
Best wishes, the Alfa Team
