Enjoy a staycation with Tartan Travel

With the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, many holidaymakers are choosing to stay in the UK for their getaways. And there’s no easier or more comfortable way to see the country and visit some amazing places than on a luxury coach tour.

The managing director of Tartan Travel, Chris Bond, said: “We have seen huge demand, not only for breaks across the UK but specifically within Scotland, as holiday habits inevitably change.

“There is no doubt the staycation will become increasingly popular moving forward and travelling by coach is growing in demand, in part due to its affordability but also because it’s a stress-free way to travel.”

Booking a coach tour is also incredibly simple – and there are lots of last-minute options for those who want to wait and see how things unfold before committing to a holiday.

“On most breaks we are able to offer a choice of hotel and excursions. So, for example, a client can choose a hotel that suits their individual requirements in terms of location and budget and are able to select from varied inclusive itineraries.”

Although the company was only formed in June, the Tartan Travel team has years of experience in the industry. They use that knowledge and experience to bring their customers the best deals and options to ensure they have a holiday to remember – for all the right reasons.

Chris said: “I believe myself and the team have a unique understanding of our local market. We’d like to think we have a team with plenty of expertise and knowledge.”

And, for those worried about the ongoing restrictions linked to Covid-19, Chris explained that, at Tartan Travel, they go to great lengths to keep their customers safe.

“All breaks adhere to current social distancing guidelines.

“Our coaches operate with tailor-made seating plans, allowing clients to be seated with family but still maintain social distancing from other guests. This typically means our coaches are operating at 50% capacity.

“Social distancing guidelines are also applicable across all of our hotels.”

Tartan Travel offers departure points across Scotland, including Glasgow, Hamilton, Paisley, Edinburgh, Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Bathgate and Dundee, to destinations across the UK and Ireland.

Tartan Travel’s breaks start from as little as £69 and include coach travel, hotel accommodation on dinner, bed and breakfast basis and inclusive excursion programmes.
