"We are of course part of the bigger Thomson umbrella, however we offer a niche product in the form of outstanding value villa style luxury mobile home holidays in stunning locations across Europe," said a Thomson spokesperson.
"A Thomson Al Fresco holiday is like camping. Only better. (In fact, we think of it as super-posh camping). No communal shower blocks, creepy crawlies or leaking groundsheets. Oh no, we focus instead on the 'great' bit of the great outdoors.
"During our quieter periods our holidays are enjoyed by couples, however our holidays are predominantly taken by families with both young children and teens.
"In fact our focus is strongly geared to creating an environment on-parc where parents can relax knowing that their children are being entertained and having fun, whilst mixing with other children of similar age in an environment where parents may not feel the need to watch them 100% per cent of the time.
"Our on-parc culture has a real sense of community and children, especially Teens have many activities to take part in which means they can roam around with their new found friends in the comfort of the parc without having to spend all their time with their younger siblings.
"We have 43 beautiful parcs across France, Croatia, Holland, Italy, Portugal and Spain
"Great facilities on parc including; fantastic pools, waterslides, restaurants, bars and more*
"Excellent value for money
"4 luxury mobile holiday homes to choose from including full size comfy beds, bathroom with shower, modern stylish open-plan kitchen, air conditioning and a decked veranda!*
"To briefly summarize, our parcs have outstanding facilities and depending on which parc destination is selected, families can take advantage of; beaches, pools, waterparcs, theme parks, playgrounds, football pitches, tennis courts, bicycle hire, watersports, archery, golf, kids clubs, restaurants, bars and take-aways and more! In fact, for 2008 we have something very special starting at two of our parcs, The Reebok International Soccer School.
