More Information

Guests at their six summer resorts in Corsica, Sardinia, Turkey and Greece can try their hand at Olympic sports such as windsurfing, sailing, tennis, as well as swimming and mountain biking, all included in the holiday price. The operator has seen an increase of people booking LTA approved tennis courses by 17% year on year and RYA sailing and windsurfing courses this summer are up by 20% year on year.

Tim Locke, head of marketing at Mark Warner says, “It seems the nation has been inspired by all the fantastic sporting achievements of Team GB and so we are getting lots of people enquiring about sailing, tennis and windsurfing holidays which of course all of our summer holidays cater for.  We are noticing a growing trend for people wanting to combine fitness and wellbeing on holiday so we are putting this down to the Olympic effect!”
