			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-196" title="First Choice holidays" src="http://www.dominicanrepublicisland.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/First-Choice-holidays.jpg" alt="First Choice holidays" width="221" height="250" />First Choice, part of the TUI brand which also includes Thomson, have launched their winter campaign with the hot news that from now on they will be selling only all inclusive holidays. They say that this move will save them money, and these savings will be passed onto their customers. This will be welcome news for those who many have had to forgo next years holiday due to the economy.</p>
<p>The packages that First Choice will be offering will include the flights, in resort transfers,  hotel accommodation, all meals and local drinks. This move to go all inclusive really bucks the trend in the travel industry and over the past decade the do it yourself holiday, where you book everything yourself separately on the internet has very much been the norm, only cruises and all inclusive holidays have kept their market share.</p>
<p>Once we discovered budget airlines and sites offering accommodation we realised exactly what the profit margins of the travel company&#8217;s were, and this, according to many, sounded the death knell for package holidays, something that the recent figures from Thomas Cook seem to reiterate.</p>
<p>First Choice have released a video as part of the marketing campaign to let everyone know that they are now an all inclusive company. This shows a family being met off their plane by employees of First Choice and taken to their resort. Here they find a little piece of paradise, and the voice over tells us that there is nothing like the feeling of an all inclusive holiday.</p>
<p>It makes a lot of sense for families to take all inclusive holidays, and when you take one with First Choice you know you are guaranteed a great holiday from start to finish. Not having to worry about having a lot of spending money is one of the perks of going all inclusive, as is knowing that drinks are on tap for both you and your little ones,  who seem to have unquenchable thirsts when in the sun.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.dominicanrepublicisland.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Thomson-300x250.jpg" alt="Thomson" title="Thomson" width="300" height="250" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-190" />There are still some to think that all travel companies are the same, and they all have the same things to offer. If you are of this thinking, then you obviously haven&#8217;t checked out what Thomson have to offer. The UK holiday giant prides itself on its family holidays, and the awards that are heaped upon them shows just how this dedication is producing top quality family holidays.</p>
<p>There new range of family resorts and hotels are there for all to see on their bright and user friendly website. There is even a video for you to watch to get a better idea of exactly what Thomson have to offer you. Their latest TV commercial, which concentrates on the importance of time spent together as a family, epitomises what family holidays should consist of, having fun in the company of those you love the most.</p>
<p>Holidays are vital to our well being, while parents work all week long, kids are also at playgroups, nurseries or in full time school. With this kind of hectic lifestyle, it can often be difficult to spend quality time together, a holiday gives you the opportunity to do this, and in a relaxed environment with nothing to think about except having fun. Time spent with your kids is precious, and holidays create some of the best childhood memories.</p>
<p>Thomson are the market leaders when it comes to family holidays, fact. The Tommy charity also thinks so, and in their annual &#8216;Let&#8217;s go baby friendly&#8217; awards, they have voted Thomson as the best overseas holiday provider for the past two years. This is proof, if any was needed, that Thomson have their finger on the pulse as far as family holidays are concerned and that if are looking for the ultimate family holiday, it has to be a Thomson family holiday.</p>
