| Good morning, Madam, can I help you?
Good morning, Sir. I'm thinking about a destination for our summer holiday in the South, I'm dreaming about sun and of warm sea.
Have you already been to any southern destination?
Yes, once we went to Spain, to Benidorm, for a weekend break by coach. But that wasn't the right place for us, and the long trip by coach was very tiring.
Are you thinking about flying this time?
Yes!
And how long do you want to stay?
For a fortnight, at the beginning of July.
Are you travelling with others?
Yes, with my husband.
What kind of accommodation would you prefer, a hotel or a holiday apartment?
We thought about a medium-priced hotel.
O.K. Would you prefer half-board or only breakfast?
Half-board.
You told me that you disliked Benidorm, am I right in supposing that you're now looking for quieter destination where you can relax.
Yes, a nice beach and maybe the possibility of making a few sightseeing tours.
What about a quiet beach hotel on Majorca? Have a look at this brochure, please. Here you can see a newly refurbished hotel. It's a medium-priced and provides restaurant, a bar, spacious lounges, a swimming-pool, and a fitness-room with sauna. In front of the hotel you can see a small beach, next one is 500 m away. The next town can be reached by bus or taxi in a few minutes.
That sound great. Can you give me the brochure, so that I can discuss your offer with my husband?
Yes, certainly. You should, however, remember that you want to travel in July, you know, that's peak season and package tours to Majorca are heavily booked. I would recommend taking an option for 5 days. That doesn't commit you in any way, it secures your booking and you have time to discuss it with your husband. If you decide that this is the right holiday for you, you only have to confirm the reservation and pay the deposit. Shall I find out whether this arrangement is still available?
Yes, please, for the beginning of July.
You're lucky, you can get an outbound flight on the 2nd of July and an inbound flight on the 16th of July. Shall I book this option for you now?
Yes that's fine.

What about visas?
You have to have a visa for Nepal and India. I suggest you apply as soon as you book the holiday.
