Horizon Travel

Horizon Travel

Horizon Travel or the Horizon Holiday Group was a British package holiday company that is no longer in existence, but was one of the first ventures into the package holiday market. [Andrew Holden, " [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Ok2XoM6wJR8C&pg=PT26&lpg=PT26&dq=Horizon+Travel+Vladimir+Raitz&source=web&ots=oXoRirjyQT&sig=8O-qycGhUWAy-ldPlSQd6PnbxyE&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=6&ct=result Tourism Studies and the Social Sciences] ", p.35] The company was co-founded by Vladimir Raitz on 12 October 1949. [Simon Calder, " [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_20040110/ai_n9684033 Heroes & Villains: Vladimir Raitz] " in "The Independent", Jan 10, 2004] The company pioneered the first mass package holidays abroad with charter flights between Gatwick airport and Corsica in 1950, and organised the first package holiday to Palma in 1952, Lourdes in 1953, and the Costa Brava and Sardinia in 1954. In addition, the amendments made in Montreal to the Convention on International Civil Aviation on June 14 1954 was very liberal to Spain, allowing impetus for mass tourism using charter planes. In 1986, Horizon founded Orion Airways.
