Luxury travel operator Kuoni has opened a new branch in the heart of Bristol’s shopping quarter, targeting travellers seeking a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The new ’boutique-style’ outlet on Penn Street in Broadmead is the fourth to open in the UK, and offers a concierge service and personal travel planners as part of its service.

Derek Jones, distribution director for Kuoni, said: “We are very excited about the opening of our travel store which offers luxury ’boutique style’ shopping for anyone looking for a dream holiday.

“The ethos at Kuoni is to encourage consumers to browse for holidays and look at exploring destinations and experiences they may not have perhaps considered, very much in the same way they might shop for any special purchase such as a wedding dress, a new watch or a new car.”

Specialising in the top-end of the travel market, Kuoni’s latest offers on its website include £822 savings on a five-night stay in Dubai and £366 plus two free nights in the Maldives.

Operating for more than 100 years Kuoni has been voted ‘The World’s Leading Tour Operator’ for the past 11 years at the World Travel Awards.

Outlets at BlueWater shopping centre in Essex and in Milton Keynes are due to open later this month.
