Jewel

About

Jewel in the Crown was a travel operator renowned for offering affordable holiday packages to vibrant and exotic destinations, particularly across Turkey, Morocco, and other Mediterranean hotspots. The company catered to travellers seeking sun-soaked escapes with great value for money, often focusing on lesser-known resorts and unique accommodations.

Jewel in the Crown’s packages included flights, accommodations, and optional excursions, allowing customers to experience a seamless and enjoyable holiday. The operator was popular among families, couples, and solo travellers who desired a blend of cultural immersion and relaxation on a budget.
 

History

Jewel in the Crown was established in the 1990s, focusing initially on Turkey, a destination that was growing in popularity among British holidaymakers. By leveraging strong relationships with local hoteliers and tour providers, the company was able to offer competitively priced packages that appealed to value-conscious travellers.

Over the years, Jewel in the Crown expanded its portfolio to include destinations such as Morocco, Tunisia, and other Mediterranean locales. The company became known for its attention to detail and its ability to offer unique holiday experiences, often spotlighting lesser-travelled areas that provided an authentic cultural touch.

Despite its success and a loyal customer base, Jewel in the Crown faced increasing challenges in the competitive travel market and ceased operations in 2015. Its closure marked the end of a distinctive operator that had carved a niche for itself in affordable, exotic travel.
