MORETON IN MARSH, England, July 30, 2010 - Kuoni opens new luxury travel store in the heart of Nottingham's shopping
heartland, Bridlesmith Gate. The store is a landmark opening for Kuoni, as it
is the 'tenth' luxury travel store opening for the company in the UK, and is
part of an ongoing strategy for retail growth over the next 18 months.

The new store has created six jobs locally and follows the recent opening
of five chic and exotic Kuoni travel stores in Bristol, Milton Keynes,
Bluewater, Solihull and Cheltenham.

The Nottingham opening is seen as yet another great location for the
luxury holidays (www.kuoni.co.uk/en/pages/default.aspx) brand as it
re-writes the history books on the look and feel of travel stores of the
future. The Nottingham store has sumptuous seating, natural wood desks and
brochure display areas; video screening to exhibit the far flung and exotic
destinations on offer and a team of dedicated and well travelled advisors
will be making sure shoppers have an enjoyable and memorable experience when
they book a Kuoni holiday.

Derek Jones, Kuoni Distribution director explained: "We are proud and
excited to open a store in Nottingham. We hope to have an enthusiastic
welcome from the City and quickly become a 'must visit' store for the three
million or so people who live within one hour of Nottingham's city centre.

"We want to encourage shoppers to visit Kuoni as part of their regular
shopping trips. Anna Muir, the store manager and her team literally have the
world at their fingertips and visitors to the store can book anything from an
around the world trip to a weekend break."

Anna Muir added: "Nottingham is a vibrant city with a great reputation as
a destination for shopping, and we want to encourage people to shop for
holiday ideas and inspirations throughout the year, not just when they think
they need a holiday. We want customers to browse our store the same way they
shop for other luxury purchases."

Cllr Penny Griggs, Sheriff of Nottingham, commented: "We are delighted to
have a leading travel brand like Kuoni in our midst. Nottingham has a wealth
of both local and international business offering fashion, beauty,
technology, music and sports brands and Kuoni is a welcome addition to what
we have to offer local shoppers. Kuoni offer a truly dynamic new approach to
buying travel for every budget and have over 100 years experience in the
travel business. Now we can book our family holidays, weekend breaks or
inspirational holidays of a lifetime and then enjoy shopping for the perfect
holiday wardrobe in the other great stores we have in our city centre."

Derek Jones concluded, "We hope to change the way consumers shop for
holidays. Kuoni have an enviable reputation for first class customer service
from a team of well travelled and dedicated travel advisors who work in-store
and Nottingham will be no exception. We hope to make every holiday booked the
well deserved break from everyday life that we all need."
