BUDGET Travel has announced the launch of its new Caribbean winter brochure featuring the tropical resorts of Playa Dorada in the Dominican Republic and Cancun in Mexico.

This is a ‘first’ for an Irish operator to feature the Caribbean as part of its winter series. The Budget Travel programme will operate from Dublin on a weekly basis commencing this November.

“Early bird” deals start from €699 per person (if booked before May 31), and the company is confident that the ever increasing numbers of Irish winter sun enthusiasts will look favourably on this new programme.

Flights to the Dominican Republic depart from Dublin on Mondays from November 3 and operate until April 20 while the Mexican flights begin on November 6 through to April 23.
