In brief: Travel site for over-55s

May 16 2008

Over-55s specialist Grand UK Holidays has launched a bookable website to cater for the growing numbers of silver surfers.

The upgraded web site went live as the operator unveiled its new winter 2008-09 brochure, packed with escorted tours and cruises.

Sales director Harold Burke said: "Internet usage by the older generation is growing at a faster rate than younger online users, so it's vital that our holidays can be researched and booked online.
