A limited number of tickets are available and names and addresses received will be put into a free prize draw to win two tickets to the event. There will also be the chance to win a holiday to the five-star Oberoi, Mauritius, with the draw taking place in June. There will be signed copies of Simon's travel books as runner up prizes. A wide selection of enticing travel offers will also be available to many of the countries that feature in 'Indian Ocean', and Kuoni's Personal Travel Experts will be on hand to answer any travel questions.
Derek Jones, Kuoni's Managing Director, said: "We are thrilled to have Simon visit our store and to invite the public to come and enjoy some warm hospitality whilst being enthralled by Simon's adventures. Kuoni, which was founded in 1906, has always been a pioneering travel brand opening up new and exotic holiday destinations over the decades, so we like the idea of being able to rub shoulders with Simon, who is rapidly becoming one of the most widely travelled men in the country."
