The minute the tour operators release there brochures for summer 2010, I was looking to book my holiday for 2010 in Cattolica, Rimini, Italy. at this time I was unable to find anything online, so I checked with the local shop, and I was told it should be up in the next two weeks, which basicly wasnt true. I emailed the customer services, asking them if they have dropped this resort, and could they explain why, they did not answer my question, but told me it should be up in the next few weeks

At this point I gave up, as I was going away on holiday, when I arrived in Cattolica, I ask the hotel rep, if she has any idea of what is happening with summer 2010 holidays, at least here I got an answer

Thomas cook/airtours wont know until sept 2009 if this resort will be kept on there brochures, but it looks like they are going to drop rimini from there brochures, some of the holiday reps are disgusted at this as they have worked in this resort for 10 yrs and they love the places, as wll as all the uk holiday makers who reurn year after year to this resort

As for the hotels, there not happy about this, the hotel that I stayed in is 90% uk holiday makers, so this hotel would be affected the most, as they would now have to find other holiday makers to fill there rooms

The holiday rep also pointed out, rimini is not the only resort that might be affected by this, there well could be others
