By coach, cruise or even Concorde? \u003ci\u003eHoliday Exotica\u003c\/i\u003e will take you on a globetrotting tour of vintage holiday brochures. This first ever visual guide to how we once satisfied our wanderlust, both at home and abroad, travels alphabetically from Africa and Australia to the United States and Yugoslavia, with excursions to Bognor Regis, Belfast and all points in between.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      Exchanging everyday drizzle and drudgery for exotic cocktails and beach loungers, these rare, nostalgic brochures reflect our shifting attitudes to tourism in the pre-internet era, when travellers were lured by designs promising a jet-set paradise with perfect weather.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Discover how holidays were marketed to an eager post-war public - where Berlin is 'worth a trip' and the clouds look curiously ominous at the Hotel New Hiroshima in Japan. Jump in the car and take a groovy 1960s motoring vacation across Italy, where cosmopolitan ancient civilisations might broaden your mind. Or relax at a 1970s Pontins, alongside hundreds of your fellow sunworshippers and their kids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    So, pack your suitcase because you're booked for two weeks of all-inclusive sun (catching rays in Benidorm), sand (between your toes in Jamaica) and seasickness (a day trip to France on a Sealink ferry).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      With \u003ci\u003eHoliday Exotica\u003c\/i\u003e, you can travel without leaving your deckchair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9781068294624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 24 Sep 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: FUEL Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: London, United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 22(H)x18(L)760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 760\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003eNostalgia enthusiast \u003cb\u003eJonny Trunk\u003c\/b\u003e founded his record label Trunk Records in 1995, which specialises in releasing lost and archived recordings.
