CEO Rob Pendleton, from new luxury adventure holiday company AdventureTemples, has a message of support for busy husbands, wives and partners everywhere: “With the economic uncertainty, it has probably crossed your mind that you might be able to get away with no present at all this Christmas. But the time approaches and you start to worry about appearing ungenerous. So what do you do? Time for a classic play from parents everywhere with children born in Dec or Jan. The two-for-one present!”

He continues, “To get away with it, you have to choose a holiday that you wanted to take anyway, but which can be dressed up as all about THEM! But that isnt quite enough – you need something to hand over on the day. Well, we can help with all of that. Firstly, order our guidebook ‘The 50 Best Luxury Adventure Holidays in the World’- 2012 Edition – so you have something special to put under the tree. In case you’ve left it really late, we’ll send a personalised letter (from me, the CEO) and a link to the e-version of the book, while the post office are working their magic. You can book in a 3-way consultation with me, or one of my experienced team, about the perfect trip for you. Or choose your favourite trip from the book over the holidays for us to custom tailor to your exact requirements.”
