Requesting brochures through catalink.com is straightforward and completely free. The whole process takes only a few minutes.

Why request the printed editions
Printed brochures remain a favourite for holiday planning. They are easy to flick through, share with travelling companions and dog-ear at the pages that catch the eye.
- No screen glare and no battery to worry about
- Simple to spread several open across a table when comparing destinations
- Inspiring photography that conveys the character of a place
- A tactile, relaxing way to dream up a trip with family or friends
Many people enjoy keeping printed guides on hand to revisit ideas and circle the spots they most want to explore.
How to choose the right brochures
With so many regions to consider, it helps to narrow the selection by the kind of break being planned. Think about the season, who is travelling and the experiences that matter most.
- Consider whether the appeal is coast, countryside, city or a family resort
- Match the brochure to the time of year and likely weather
- Factor in travel distance and how long the break will last
- Request a few contrasting titles to keep options open
Digital versus printed editions
Both formats have their merits. Digital editions are ideal for instant access, easy searching and reading on the move, while printed brochures suit relaxed browsing and sharing at home. Choosing one does not rule out the other, and requesting a printed copy while also viewing a digital edition gives the best of both.
Managing what you receive
Because brochures arrive by post, it is worth keeping track of what has been requested. Storing them together makes planning easier and helps avoid duplication.
- Keep a folder or box for current holiday brochures
- Recycle older editions once a trip is booked or plans change
- Note any preferences when requesting to receive relevant titles
