ALDI introduces holiday offering - Retail World Magazine
ALDI Australia has launched ALDI Holidays so shoppers can “fly high” on escapes, cruises and tour deals around the world.
Bringing value to the travel category, the retailer says these holiday deals still have all the frills attached with options including room upgrades, tours, customisable experiences and flights at some of the most sought-after travel destinations.
From $449 per person, ALDI’s first drop of packages include picturesque escapes worth “shell-abrating”, from Surfers Paradise to The Whitsundays or even to Fiji, Thailand or Hawaii. There are also “sea-sational” cruises around the Pacific Islands or Japan and a range of 10-day tour options and adventures to South Africa, Europe or China.
“We are excited to be taking off in a new direction to make planning and booking a holiday a more enjoyable experience for Australians and in our signature Good Different way with ALDI Holidays. This service, in partnership with Ignite Travel, will unlock incredible value and help all types of travellers create truly unforgettable experiences,” says ALDI Australia Group Director Rodney Balech.
“With ALDI Holidays, we’re bringing our Special Buys to the skies, offering savvy travellers premium holiday options. From budget-friendly bliss to extravagant escapes, there are different levels of luxury for every keen explorer.”
Similar to ALDI’s bi-weekly Special Buys, there will be a limited number of exclusive holiday deals, which will be available until sold out.
To help everyone create their perfect experience, ALDI Holidays offers customisable options from preferred airlines and departures airports across Australia, as well as adjustable lengths of stay and room upgrades. Escape and Tour packages can be booked via the online portal, or through person-to-person customer service for Cruise packages.
Back in June, ALDI announced its expansion into the insurance sector with the launch of ALDI Insurance. Backed by Honey Insurance and underwritten by RACQ Insurance, ALDI Insurance is promoted as making insurance straight forward for all Australians by providing the best value and experience at consistently competitive prices. The retailer claims customers can get a quote in three minutes.
