Thomson Holidays are the longest established British tour
operator to feature Gambia in its list of destination package

Since 2001 it has chosen to send its customers to just 7 selected
resort hotels in Gambia. They are the Laico Atlantic, Golden
Beach Hotel, Senegambia, Kairaba, Kombo Beach, Sunset Beach
and the Coral Beach Hotel.

The travel company was created in 1965 by Lord Thomson, the

German firm Preussag's buying price of £1.8 billion after
a drop of 40% in pre-tax profits in 1999.
