Agency expecting to sell a quarter of a million travel packages to Olympic Games

High street travel giant Thomas Cook has announced it will sell travel packages to the Olympic Games in London in 2012.

As an official supporter of the Olympic Games, Thomas Cook will sell short breaks to London including accommodation in the capital, transport to the Olympic events and event tickets.

Fans can register their interest in the travel packages at www.thomascooksport.com/london-2012-olympic-games where they can indicate which events they are interested in seeing.

A statement on the website says: We are currently developing our full package range and would like to find out from you what your ideal trip to the Games would include.

""Please register your interest and preferences below and we will contact you with further information as the details are finalised.""

All registrations will be entered into a free prize draw to win a luxury family weekend in London, including a tour of the Olympic Park.

Thomas Cook is expecting to sell 250, 000 tickets to the event, which will go on sale in 2011.

Sebastian Coe, who is part of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, said: ""Our ticketing strategy is based on the principles of affordability and accessibility ? we want to fill our stadiums in the summer of 2012 with sports fans and make it as easy as possible for families to travel to the Games.

""Our deal with Thomas Cook will do just that ? offering ticket and accommodation packages.""
