Following
the swift removal of the FCO’s travel advice ‘against all but essential travel’
to The Gambia, UK tour operator The Gambia Experience is delighted to
recommence flights and package holidays from Friday 27 January.
The
company’s Managing Director, Chris Rowles, returned from Banjul on 20 January,
following a 10 day visit to support Gambia Experience customers and the resort
team with their repatriation procedure. Since his return, Chris has commented:
“Our
next charter flight (on 27 January) is fully booked in Economy and upgraded
Star Class. Flights for next week and into February are also selling well as
consumer confidence in The Gambia returns. We will be operating a Tuesday and
Friday flight from Gatwick from now to the end of April, and then switching to
a weekly departure throughout the summer. We are already receiving holiday
enquiries from customers and travel agents which is great to see, and with 2017
being our 30th year of operations, we’re excited to be looking ahead to a
bright and positive future in The Gambia.”
The
Gambia Experience would like to extend its thanks to all partners it works with
in The Gambia for helping to reassure guests, and to customers, who allowed the
repatriation process to be conducted smoothly. The operator is also delighted
to have received positive feedback from customers for its efforts during this
time.
