Woman:
Good afternoon, Atlanta Travel Agency.
Man:
I saw your advert in the newspaper this morning and decided to come over for more detailed information about some trips that you currently offer.
Woman:
What kind of trips do you have in mind?
Man:
Well, I enjoy surfing very much and want to get tanned but all my friends suggest either mountain climbing or biking.
Woman:
We currently offer all the three types.
Woman:
Even though biking is the most popular type of holiday, it doesn't work for everyone.
Woman:
I think you should follow your heart.
Man:
What are my options for accommodation then?
Woman:
For this type of holiday, you can choose to stay in a hotel or a self-catering apartment.
Man:
Can you introduce the hotel package first?
Woman:
Price for our hotel package is quite reasonable compared with that of your own reservation.
Man:
What does the price include?
Woman:
It covers the beachside hotel and free breakfast.
Man:
Does the hotel have any recreational facilities?
Woman:
The hotel is fully equipped with a pool, a nightclub and a gym.
Woman:
Guests can enjoy a vibrant nightlife during their stay at the hotel.
Woman:
Five-star ratings are common for the hotel's satisfying service.
Man:
So how much does it cost?
Woman:
Well, it was originally €360 for an adult but we are now offering a Labour Day promotion.
Woman:
You can get a discount of 12.5%. So that's €315 for now.
Woman:
A really good deal.
Man:
What about the self-catering apartment?
Woman:
Oh, that'll be even cheaper.
Woman:
But you have to stay in a shared room with other guests.
Woman:
Each room has six bunk beds with lockers.
Man:
I think the hotel is much better.
Man:
Getting a good night's sleep is critical for a relaxing holiday.
Man:
I can't stand sharing a room with someone who snores all night long.
Man:
What about the surfing equipment rental?
Man:
I don't want to bring my own surfboard.
Woman:
You can hire a surfboard by the hour, day or week.
Woman:
Just book it in advance and it will be delivered to the hotel or even directly to the beach.
Man:
How much does it cost?
Woman:
It costs €15 for a day, but for a week's rental it's just €75.
Woman:
The surf station also provides surf lessons if you're interested.
Man:
That's good to know.
Woman:
Oh, there's one more thing you should know.
Woman:
Just in case of an accident during your trip, we recommend each customer to have the correct travel cover in place before leaving home.
Man:
Please, tell me about it.
Woman:
Well, we mainly offer two types of insurance.
Woman:
The first one is basic coverage.
Man:
What does it include?
Woman:
It covers medical treatment during your trip and things like missing your flight, flight delays and cancellations.
Woman:
But you know, extreme sports can be quite dangerous and therefore injuries during these activities are excluded.
Man:
Then how about the other one?
Woman:
The second one is called Premier cover.
Woman:
It is more expensive at €42.50. But we highly recommend this one for regular surfers.
Woman:
If you receive an injury or hurt anyone else while participating in extreme sports like surfing, you are fully covered.
Man:
I think I'll go with the Premier cover.
Woman:
When your flight gets in, there will be a minivan to pick you up at the airport and take you to the hotel, but you'll have to get to London Airport yourself.
Man:
It's alright, I'll just take the airport shuttle.
Woman:
Actually, I personally suggest you take a taxi.
Woman:
It's much cheaper than other types of transport, including the airport shuttle.
Man:
I think I'll book a trip for next weekend.
Woman:
How would you like to pay?
Man:
Do you accept credit cards?
Woman:
Yes we do, but there will be a slight charge on that.
Woman:
If you pay by cheque, there's no extra fee.
Man:
I'll write you a cheque then.
