"Our summer promotion is truly a global one that appeals to travellers all over the world who wish to discover pristine beaches, captivating cities, natural wonders, cuisine and culture further afield. The savings are naturally a significant advantage, but we also add some useful value-added benefits like free internet," said Paul Mulcahy, Vice President of Distribution and Revenue Management for Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.
