Eurocamp trials its first ever dining packages
Ross Matthews, Chief Marketing Officer at Eurocamp said 'We've spent more than 50 years listening to what our customers want to perfect the outdoor holidays we offer, and what we hear time and time again is that families love that a Eurocamp holiday can meet the entire family's needs.
'While our customers have always enjoyed the freedom to dine as they please, cooking in their holiday home, having a BBQ or grabbing a pizza on parc, expanding our extras to include dining gives those families the option to enjoy even more convenience when staying with us - with the flexibility to choose the package that suits them best.
'And with some or all of their meals taken care of, they'll have extra time to experience all that a Eurocamp holiday has to offer.'
A half board dining option is now available at Le Castellas, located in Languedoc, France, that includes breakfast and lunch or dinner at a choice of three eateries at the parc, with prices from £25.86 per day per adult.
Five star Domaine des Naïades in Port Grimaud on the Côte d'Azur is also involved in the trial, with its on-parc restaurant providing local dishes, as well as family favourites. Guests can opt for full board, half board or a breakfast-only option, with three-course meals available at both lunch and dinner. Prices start from £8.62 per day per adult, depending on the package.
Le Port de Plaisance in Brittany is the third holiday parc to trial Eurocamp's new dining packages, alongside its opening of a newly refurbished outdoor waterpark this summer. Dining options allow guests to choose between dining at the parc's restaurant, taking away a picnic lunch or having a BBQ platter delivered directly to their holiday home for dinner. Prices start from £35.34 per day per adult.
The new dining packages are available during July and August 2025, and must be booked for the entire duration of the stay.

Liverpool spending backed by title win and long-term plan, says CEO
July 24 (Reuters) - Liverpool's big-money investment on transfers is the result of long-term planning, club CEO Billy Hogan said, adding that winning a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title convinced the club it was time to act like a modern powerhouse. Liverpool's latest acquisition, French striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth 79 million pounds ($106.84 million), including add-ons, has taken the club's transfer expenditure this window to nearly 300 million pounds. Outgoings, six players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, have so far generated around 64 million pounds. The outlay marks a sharp departure from Liverpool's traditionally measured approach in the market. However, Hogan insists the club has not deviated from the club's policy of financial sustainability. "It doesn't just happen; it's been years in the making," Hogan told The Athletic, opens new tab in an interview. "One of the things we're constantly focused on is that 'virtuous circle'. Trying to run the club in the right way to ensure that we can generate as much revenue as we possibly can. That obviously helps in terms of being able to put more back into the team. "The difficulty is if you just look at one individual summer. That probably skews the data. There were a lot of comments made last summer that we didn't spend enough..." Hogan explained the approach reflects the ambitions of American-led Fenway Sports Group (FSG), who are seeking to build on last season's Premier League title under manager Arne Slot. "We also recognise, having won the English league title for the 20th time, that this is one of the biggest clubs in the world. We want to make sure that we are behaving like one," he added. "Having massive global stars come and play at Anfield, filling out stadiums in Hong Kong and Japan, those are things we expect and want to do." Liverpool face AC Milan in Kowloon, Hong Kong on Saturday, before taking on Yokohama FM in the J League World Challenge in Yokohama on Wednesday. They begin their Premier League title defence at home against Bournemouth on August 15. ($1 = 0.7394 pounds)

Trade deal on US tariffs within reach, says EU, as 1 August deadline nears
The European Union has said it believes a deal on trade tariffs with the US is "within reach", ahead of a 1 August deadline when President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a sweeping 30% levy on EU were raised after EU diplomats suggested the US had proposed a broad 15% tariff on most European imports.A European Commission spokesman refused to speculate on the latest talks on Thursday, but said EU negotiators were working "might and main" to deliver a deal for Europe's consumers and House spokesman Kush Desai said earlier that any talk about deals should be seen as "speculation" unless it was confirmed by the president. Trump said on Wednesday that his condition for withdrawing the threatened 30% levy on EU imports was "if they agree to open up the [European] Union to American businesses".US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested good progress with the EU was being European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged at 2% on Thursday, after a series of rate cuts in recent months, and ECB President Christine Lagarde said "the sooner this trade uncertainty is resolved... the less uncertainty we'll have to deal with". The chief executive of French luxury group LVMH, Bernard Arnault, said an accord similar to the one Japan reached with the US had to be reached amicably."We cannot afford to fall out with the United States and engage in a trade war with our companies' main market," he told Le Figaro newspaper in EU had initially hoped for a 10% baseline in US import tariffs, along the lines of a deal the US agreed with the UK, until Trump sent a letter threatening a 30% now, the EU has refrained from imposing counter-tariffs on the US, even though European companies have faced an extra 10% levy on exports, on top of an average duty of 4.8% they faced before the Trump if President Trump does not approve an EU accord, then member states have agreed to hit back with a list of countermeasures on US goods worth a total of €93bn (£81bn; $109bn) that would kick in days after the US tariffs."These countermeasures will automatically click into force on 7 August should a negotiated outcome not happen before then," European Commission spokesman Olof Gill told reporters."Right now the EU is focused on finding a negotiated outcome with the US," he said, while stressing that a "twin-tracks" approach meant that it was prepared to react without a deal. The €93bn in countermeasures are made up of an initial list of €21bn - drawn up in retaliation for 25% US tariffs imposed last March on imports of European steel and aluminium - and a new list of € first tariffs, thought to target imports such as Harley-Davidson motorcycles, poultry and jeans, have been repeatedly suspended in recent months in the hope of reaching a new €72bn in countermeasures are said to include proposed tariffs on bourbon whiskey, chemicals, cars, aircraft and aircraft option in the EU's armoury, described as its nuclear option or trade "bazooka", is to impose restrictions on America's powerful service sector as well as intellectual property anti-coercion instrument (ACI), to give its formal name, was drawn up two years ago to act as a powerful deterrent when a non-EU country resorted to unfair coercion to affect European trade or investment. At the moment there is little support across the EU for this level of retaliation to be on the table, but earlier this week French Industry Minister Marc Ferracci suggested Europe should adopt a firmer approach and deploy new that 30% tariffs would have dramatic consequences for French industry and place some sectors in "mortal danger", Ferracci said various responses would need to be deployed in the event of a failure to reach a deal by 1 August.

LVMH suffers steep drop in fashion sales as the rich cut spending
LVMH's core fashion and leather goods division suffered a steep slowdown in quarterly sales, a fresh warning sign for the wider luxury sector as even affluent shoppers cut their spending amid the global uncertainty. Shares in the world's largest luxury group fell 2 per cent after the division behind Louis Vuitton, Dior and Givenchy reported a 9 per cent drop in organic sales over the past three months to €9 billion. That compared with a 5 per cent decline in the previous quarter and marked the sharpest fall among LVMH's business lines, which span alcohol, watches and jewellery. For the first half, sales in the fashion and leather goods division were down 7 per cent on an organic basis to €20.7 billion, while profit from recurring operations fell 18 per cent to €6.6 billion. The Paris-listed group said tough comparatives had contributed to the decline, noting the first half of 2024 had been boosted by strong tourist spending, particularly in Japan. Group-wide sales fell 4 per cent on an organic basis to €19.5 billion in the second quarter, in line with analyst forecasts. First-half sales declined 3 per cent to €39.8 billion, also in line with consensus. Operating income before non-recurring items dropped to €9 billion, from €10.65 billion a year earlier. The wine and spirits division, home to Moët and Hennessy, also posted a fall in revenue and profit, citing the impact of trade tensions on customers in key markets such as the United States and China. • How will LVMH and its luxury competitors cope with tariffs? LVMH, led by the billionaire Bernard Arnault, noted continued weak demand for cognac, although it said trends for champagne had improved in the second quarter. Revenue in the division fell 4 per cent over the three months, bringing the first-half decline to 7 per cent. The French group, which owns 75 luxury brands and has a market capitalisation of €233 billion, has faced challenges across the board this year. A broader slowdown in the US and in China, where a property crisis continues to weigh on consumer sentiment, has hit revenues in its main divisions. This mirrors broader weakness across the luxury sector. Its Swiss rival Richemont has also struggled, although a stronger performance in luxury jewellery helped offset softer sales in watches and fashion during the second quarter. At LVMH, the jewellery arm recorded flat sales over the same period. Cécile Cabanis, LVMH's chief financial officer, acknowledged the macroeconomic environment was 'full of uncertainty' but said she remained 'rather confident' about the rest of the year. She pointed to potential good news from trade talks between the European Union and the Trump administration. Asked how LVMH would respond to a possible 15 per cent general tariff on US-bound exports, Cabanis said such a move would be 'an overall good outcome for the general mood of our clients'. She added that, with the exception of wines and spirits, several LVMH labels still had pricing power to help offset any impact from tariffs. The company announced plans to open a factory in Texas by 2027 in light of President Trump's tariff regime. Separately, Cabanis said the company would not keep any brands in its portfolio that were unprofitable, citing recent stake disposals of Off-White and Stella McCartney. Shares in LVMH, down 28 per cent over the past year, closed 9.7 cents, or 2 per cent, lower at €470.25.
