Belfast Telegraph<\/strong> Holiday World, Friday 16 \u2013 Sunday 18 January 2015, King\u2019s Hall Pavilions, Belfast<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Australian jungle was just that bit steamier this year, thanks to the presence of handsomely sultry Jake Quickenden \u2013 and this week he\u2019ll be making temperatures rise once more as he officially opens the 23rd Belfast Telegraph Holiday World Show at the King\u2019s Hall in Belfast (1.00pm on Friday 16 January).<\/p>\n

Good looks, cheeky charm and an endearingly easy-going manner combined to help Jake finish runner-up in the fourteenth series of ITV hit reality show I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026Get Me Out of Here!\u00a0 The\u00a0 25-year-old , tipped for the top in show biz, is no stranger to reality tv, having made his debut on The X Factor in 2012, when he was edged out of the competition after closely losing out at Judge Nicole Scherzinger\u2019s house.\u00a0\u00a0 Not one to give up easily, the determined and driven star decided to re-audition for the 2014 series, and he made it right through to the Live Shows before he set off on his whirlwind Aussie adventure.<\/p>\n

This week he\u2019ll be sharing stories of his Australian trip with visitors to the annual Belfast Telegraph Holiday World show which is about to fill the King\u2019s Hall Pavilions with all that\u2019s up and coming for the 2015 travel scene.<\/p>\n

Prepare to Unwrap Great Holiday Presence at King\u2019s Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n

The show will bring a dash of globe-trotting excitement to the city over the weekend of Friday 16 \u2013 Sunday 18 January, showcasing amazing getaways from close to home and from the four corners of the world as well as providing show-goers with a dazzling array of travel-themed entertainment, competitions, activities and special offers. The Caravan & Motorhome Show will feature the latest models, from modest tourers right up to state of the art luxury, with a chance for show-visitors to step on board to check out the detail, while the Oasis Travel Cruise Pavilion and the Clubworld Honeymoon & Wedding Destinations will help your holiday dreams to come true.<\/p>\n

The big names just keep on coming: at the Oasis Travel Cruise Pavilion you\u2019ll find partners including the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Azamara Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Titan Travel, Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, Princess Cruises, Emerald Waterways, P&O Cruises, and Cunard Cruise Line, while major travel sector partners at the Clubworld Pavilion will include Classic Collection Holidays, Eurocamp Travel, Gold Medal Travel, Jet2 Holidays, Topflight Holidays, Travel2 and Turkish Airlines.<\/p>\n

With new exhibitors including The Belfast International Airport and tourism bodies for destinations diverse as China, Oklahoma, Kansas, North Cyprus, Andalucia and Antalya joining \u2018old friends\u2019 such as New York, United Airlines, Malta, Cyprus, Tunisia and India (doubling its stand size for this year\u2019s show),\u00a0 there\u2019s a mighty mix at Holiday World.\u00a0 Variety is clearly central to its ongoing success but, according to organizer Maureen Ledwith, value is also a key theme for the 2015 event.<\/p>\n

She says, \u201cEveryone knows that shopping around can really pay off and at Holiday World they can tackle their comparison shopping in a single location and with expert advice immediately available.\u00a0 Show-goers enjoy the relaxed, friendly atmosphere of Holiday World, and they love the fact that we bring some of the world\u2019s most desirable destinations right here to Belfast, but today most people tend to be hard-headed about holiday bookings and one of the big attractions of the show is the great value they find here, with keen prices, special show promotions and complementary extras to make a holiday break extra-special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Great value doesn\u2019t always mean low cost. Many of those who visit Holiday World come in expectation of making a major investment, whether that will be a luxury vacation to celebrate one of life\u2019s landmark occasions or, perhaps, the purchase of a caravan or motorhome.\u00a0 Maureen Ledwith says, \u201cIf you are planning to invest in the holiday of a lifetime or in a motorhome, caravan or holidayhome which you hope will provide a lifetime of vacations for you and your family, then it is really important to find the option that best suits your individual needs.\u00a0 Checking out the options and spending time talking with the experts can save you considerable sums and can help you to make the right choices.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sheer diversity of destinations on offer is a globe-trotters\u2019 dream, but Holiday World will feature an incredible selection of holidays closer to home: some longstanding favourites will be represented but look out for lesser known gems too.\u00a0 Maureen says, \u201cOur Home Holidays section has been expanded still further for 2015 with some brilliant value breaks and family holiday offers on value in stunning locations.\u00a0 Whether your ideal home holiday is a relaxing escape, an adventure challenge, a shop-till-you drop citybreak, a cultural odyssey or a family break you may just be surprised at the potential on your own doorstep \u2026 or just a hop, skip and a jump away.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Holiday World show will pack an extra punch for the over fifties with its new 50+Village \u2013 a select group of exhibitors with a particular focus on the needs and interests of an age group which has been gaining in importance and market share in recent years,\u00a0 as Maureen Ledwith explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost a third of the Northern Ireland population is aged 50+.\u00a0 They are less likely than other age groups to be tied down to working 9-to-5 \u2026 they aren\u2019t coping with school or child-minding costs and routines \u2026 and they have probably paid off their mortgages \u2026 these are the people therefore who are most likely to have extra financial freedom and the time to enjoy life.\u00a0 Many already take full advantage of off-season travel bargains and we know from all our experiences with Holiday World that travel is important to them.\u00a0 Now, with our new 50+Village they\u2019ll be able to check out some great offers and deals specially targeting their age and interests, covering leisure and lifestyle as well!\u201d<\/p>\n

For everyone at the 2015 show there will be an opportunity to indulge a taste for travel, whenever and wherever you want to go.\u00a0 From holidays at home to chic citybreaks\u2019 from high end cruises, bespoke long haul tours, deluxe holidays to boutique breakaways \u2026 it all starts with a journey to the King\u2019s Hall Pavilions this January.<\/p>\n

The Belfast Telegraph Holiday World Show runs in the King\u2019s Hall Pavilions, Belfast from 1pm to 9pm on Friday 16 January and from 11am to 5.30pm on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 January 2015.
