21st April Tenth Year Anniversary of the Alfa Online Booking System

Ten years ago the Queen celebrated a low key 75th birthday with a morning ride in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND, April 16, 2011

Our soon to be married Prince William was absent from the family celebration enjoying a gap year in Africa before starting University at St. Andrews in Scotland.

Ten years ago 12-1 shot Gingembre galloped to glory in the GBP100,000 Scottish Grand National.

Funny how times change; ten years ago dwindling sales of mobile phones prompted manufacturers Motorola and Ericsson to lay off 30,000 staff. Mobile operators were left wondering "if there are any handset buyers left to sell to."

And on this day ten years ago the first ever millionaire top prize winner on Granada's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", David Edwards told of his dream to travel the world.

Mr Edwards needed to have looked no further than Alfa Travel if a great value coach holiday was what he was after! Indeed, coach tour operator Alfa Travel introduced one of the industry's first ever real time online booking systems ten years ago today.

Ten years on and Alfa have revamped that older website. Almost than 50% of Alfa customers now prefer to book their holidays online. And that trend's backed up by a recent surveyrevealing that over 50% of the over 50's market now enjoys travel shopping online.

Ten years on and Alfa's extensive range of exciting destinations continue to inspire and delight. There's no more comprehensive way to check out the full range of holidays and excursion itineraries on offer than by visiting the new website.

And here at Alfa, the best deals are always online. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of our booking system we're offering GBP10 off all Alfa Holidays booked online on 21st April.The discount will be applied automatically to all bookings made online on 21st April!
