Virgin Atlantic Holidays reopens immersive retail concept store in St Albans
- Virgin Atlantic Holidays reopened its store in the heart of St Albans city centre on 7th August 2023
- The retail concept store offers a new approach to holiday booking, with friendly faces on hand to offer travel advice and assistance
Virgin Atlantic Holidays has reopened its St Albans retail concept store, which allows visitors to fully immerse themselves and interact with the travel company’s extensive list of destinations before they even step foot on a plane. The doors opened once again on the 7 August, for the first time in three years following the global pandemic.
Virgin Atlantic Holidays knows that the excitement begins right from the moment a customer confirms their booking, which is why it’s determined to make the journey interactive and memorable. Customers visiting the St Albans retail store will be welcomed through to the sunset bar, creating a calming environment with refreshments from coffee to champagne, along with snacks representing each destination. As they relax into the comfortable seats, customers can explore and ponder over their next adventure.
Virgin Atlantic Holidays has ensured younger travellers are accounted for too; children can get into the spirit of their upcoming holiday by enjoying a dedicated area towards the back of store, with activity books, colouring and televisions with Disney shows and films available.
The company’s holiday experts are particularly excited to return to the thriving community of St Albans. Based in the heart of the city in The Maltings shopping centre, Virgin Atlantic Holidays’ representatives are on hand to offer specialist travel advice and booking assistance to local customers ready to explore an exciting array of destinations for their dream holiday.
Liz Mathews, Vice President Virgin Atlantic Holidays, said,
“A holiday should start right from the moment of booking and our immersive retail stores do just that. We love getting to know our guests and taking the time to create their perfect holiday, using our extensive knowledge and experience and we’re thrilled to reopen our doors to our St Albans store.
“We recognise that booking a holiday is a special moment, and we’re proud to be able to help our customers create those memories in store once again. With an array of exciting new destinations joining the Virgin Atlantic network, such as Dubai, the Maldives and Turks and Caicos, we’re confident that there’s plenty of places for our customers to explore."
