Virgin Holidays is planning to shake-up travel retailing with the opening of its first concept store.

Virgin Holidays, Bluewater

The first of a number of planned shops has opened at the Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent.

It becomes the latest firm to open up a so-called concept store following the likes of Kuoni, Thomson and Thomas Cook.

Features include a bar, Disney Magic Mirror and fully functional Virgin Atlantic Upper class seat.

Lee Haslett, director of sales at Virgin Holidays, said: “At Virgin Holidays we like to do things differently, so while most stores are designed to sell, sell, sell – that isn’t the top of our agenda.
