End of the Season – Val d’Isere Beckons!

By David Froom | Published: April 12, 2011
 It’s been a funny old season in the ski industry this year. Early season snow was excellent and peak week bookings strong; all the signs pointed to another season of superb ski conditions and a bouyant industry. The first couple of weeks after Christmas were paradise for the lucky ones who had booked that date as they offered good snow, blue skies and sunshine. After that though, we all started to get a little worried. By the end of January there had been no fresh snowfall all year in most major French resorts and this continued into mid-February for some places.

Keswick Beer Festival Weekend 2010

By Chris Callaghan | Published: June 9, 2010
For us at Interactive Resorts, the annual Keswick Beer Festival is as much a part of the job as sending out booking confirmations and updating chalet availability. Last year’s trip set a high water mark for Cumbrian shenanigans which we knew would be hard to beat, but things began well with the decision to take the train instead of a coach. And so it was that at around half nine last Friday morning, a motley crew of pirates-to-be (yes, we had a fancy dress theme!) assembled at Euston station for the 3 hour train ride into the stunning greenery, open water and heather-clad peaks of the Lake District.

The Interactive Resorts Ski Trip to Val Thorens

By David Froom | Published: May 5, 2010

The build-up was big, top billing in the office for weeks before we were due to leave. Pre-departure was littered with nerve jangling worries over how we’d get there, and whether we’d even be able to. In the end, it all went relatively smoothly and we’ve been back in the office for a few days recovering from one of the best ski trips in recent memory. Our Val Thorens ski trip 2010 was a rip roaring success and this is the tale of how it all went down!

Life at Interactive Resorts

By Chris Callaghan | Published: December 1, 2009

Few office workers spend their working life chatting about one of the things they love the most. Few get to spend their days surrounded by like-minded friends, banter abounding, helping their clients into the holidays they want. But we do, and we do it well! As a proud member of the sales team here at Interactive Resorts over this past year, I’ve seen it all. “Heroes and Villains” at the Christmas party last year saw everybody in fine form, and rarely if ever have so many cross-dressed Wonder women been in the same room at the same time…most of them Company Directors too!
