Debenhams Announces Soaring Swimsuit Sales during Cold Winter

London, England (PRWEB) December 25, 2010

Debenhams has released figures which reveal that freezing Brits have sent sales of skimpy swimsuits soaring – during the coldest winter for over 30 years.

As the country endures temperatures of up to -27C, department store Debenhams has seen swimsuit sales increase by 20%.  

Bosses were left scratching their heads at the unanticipated sales figures at a time when most people are desperately wrapping up to keep warm.

And with major problems at airports, it’s not as if many people are even getting away.

Carie Barkhuizen, spokesperson for Debenhams said: “With temperatures feeling colder than Antarctica the last thing you would think people would be buying was swimwear.

“The figures are even more remarkable when you consider the huge increase we saw at this time last year when the weather was also bad. It seems that increasingly bad weather has had a positive effect on swim sales – with almost a lift of nearly 150% since Christmas 2008 you could say sales are going swimmingly.

“We’ve also created our very own ‘Snow Patrol’, a crack team of cold weather merchandisers who are moving more stocks of warmer 15 tog duvets (http://www.debenhams.com/home-furniture/bedding), dressing gowns,  winter woollies and swimsuits (http://www.debenhams.com/women/swimwear-beachwear) to stores across the country to cope with the cold weather snap.”

Debenhams has been selling swimwear since the 1960s and now boasts ranges from ever popular designers Jasper Conran, Matthew Williamson, Melissa Odabash, and FrostFrench as well as own brands Red Herring, Beach Collection and Maine. 

About Debenhams:

Debenhams is a leading department stores group, and has a strong presence in key product categories including children’s wear, women’s fashion, with day dresses, shoes, bikinis (http://www.debenhams.com/women/swimwear-beachwear), jeans, men’s clothing, home ware, make-up, health and beauty, accessories, perfume and lingerie with dd+ bras and matching bra and underwear sets.

Arizona’s Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain Extends Family Activities and Recreation to Year-Round

Marana, AZ (PRWEB) August 14, 2011

Following its successful launch of a summer recreation and activities program for guests of all ages and fitness levels, The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain will expand its activities offering to provide year-round access.

From the recent introduction of adventure concierge Ranger Rick, based in the lobby alongside two non-poisonous snakes and a friendly tarantula as desk-mates, to the launch of lively cosmic slide parties, dive-in movies and special occasion Splash Dining, the 850-acre luxury resort presents several dozen new activity choices for travelers.

With a setting in the lush high Sonoran desert between Tucson and Phoenix, at an altitude above that of most desert travel destinations, The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain offers the Southwest’s only Ritz-Carlton resort experience and an average summer temperature that can be ten degrees cooler than that of other locations in the region.

For water-lovers, the property’s three year-round swimming pools include a private spa serenity pool with full-service cabanas and tanning island, a family pool complete with 235-foot water slide, and a shallow pool which is home to the Turquesa poolside Latin grill. Added aquatic highlights include Splash Dining, presented to guests seated at in-the-water tables. The legs of guests, servers, Chef, tables and chairs are all refreshingly immersed during Splash Dining’s unique dinner experience.

The resort’s outdoor fun extends to 27 holes of Jack Nicklaus signature golf, along with golf camp and golf instruction for adults and children, night golf putting challenges, and night-time Glow Golf outings for groups. A true high-desert playground, The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain hosts the WGC-Accenture Match Play pro golf event each winter and also features four tennis courts, an expansive clubhouse and Cayton’s Restaurant.

An unusual new favorite among “kids” of all ages is The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain’s recently-introduced stargazing program. Southern Arizona enjoys 350 clear nights each year, and its orientation is relatively free of major light pollution. As a result, several acclaimed observatories and sky science centers are based in the region, and The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain offers its own professional telescope experience directly on-site, at the Ignite Lounge & Bar terrace fire pit where nightly s’mores are also available. A delicious addition to this guided night ski activity is a pre-reservable group “Stargazing Dessert” station, filled with sky-inspired treats such as Black Hole Brownies, Lemon Moon Pies, Milky Way Cupcakes, Super Nova Chocolate Chip Cookies, Solar Flare Citrus Berry Parfaits and Cosmic Rice Krispies.

Ranger Rick is now the most beloved face at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, as he provides educational flora and fauna hikes into the lush high Sonoran desert surrounding the property. Rick also leads all-ages walking and bike riding excursions, desert animal meet-and-greets, educational classes which inform guests about the region’s rich Native American, cowboy and pioneer traditions, and even a weekly evening Bug Experience. Guests are particularly fascinated by Ranger Rick’s tales of the mystical lost Hohokam tribe which inhabited the area hundreds of years ago, and which left its stirring legacy in the form of visible petroglyphs etched into the rocks surrounding the resort’s spa complex.

On the educational side as well, the nearby Arizona Sonora Desert Museum presents seasonal raptor flights at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, while a few miles away at White Stallion Ranch, Western pioneer life can be experienced in person through actual trail rides, rodeos and cattle drives.

Back at the resort, special activities also embrace the culinary, with highlights that include weekly wine classes and tasting experiences at CORE Kitchen & Wine Bar and group classes in margarita blending; wine tasting; guacamole, salsa and chili creation; and farm-to-market cooking often utilizing fresh fruit and herbs from the property’s chef’s garden and 42-tree citrus grove. The resort’s free-standing destination spa offers activities and fitness/movement classes as well, along with 14 opulent treatment rooms, a full-service salon, complete fitness center and private infinity pool.

The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain is currently offering a $ 179 summer room rate, along with a seasonal Family Escape package which includes accommodations, complimentary meals for two children (12 and under) per room, and a $ 50 resort spending credit, priced from $ 199 per night. Reservations may be made by dialing 1-800-241-3333, by visiting http://www.ritzcarlton.com, or through a travel professional.
