BREAKING NEWS

It is with sincere regret that Tempo Holidays and Bentours (AUS/NZ) advise that as at 3.00pm, 19th September, 2019 the business has been placed in voluntary administration.

Tempo Holidays and Bentours (AUS/NZ) have been advised by Cox and Kings (India) that the company have been in recent weeks seeking investors/buyers with heavy interest however as this has not been materialised as of today Tempo Holidays and Bentours are unable to continue operating in AUS/NZ.

The board is in the process of appointing an official administrator who will then co-ordinate with all the interested parties.

While today the staff have been dealt with the devastating news, Tempo Holidays and Bentours staff will be working with respective agents/suppliers and clients to assist in next steps once confirmed.

It is understandably a sad day for all staff concerned along with trade. Tempo Holidays and Bentours have been wholesalers within AUS/NZ for over 30 and 40 years respectively and have experienced great success and growth over recent years. We have had the pleasure in providing dream holidays for all of our customers. We are proud and thank all of our passionate and supportive staff for their contribution and dedication over the years.

From desert adventures to intriguing culture, Abu Dhabi has something to suit any interest. Be amazed by stunning beaches, spectacular desert vistas and outstanding luxury 🇦🇪 ☀️✈️

One of the best things about visiting Abu Dhabi, is that you can enjoy cuisine from all around the world without venturing too far 🍲

Read on to learn about some unique & unusual cuisine dishes that you must try – if you are brave enough...

1. Beef heart - The two skewers of “traditional” beef heart are as rich and dense as they are meagerly proportioned. Served with a tangy Peruvian pepper and parsley, the skewers have to be one of the must-try options 🐄

2. Fried baby birds - The chefs clean the inside of the birds, remove the heads (thankfully) and sauté them in a sweet pomegranate-infused sauce 🐦

3. Sea cucumber - It’s slimy, slug-like and has an off-putting odour, but it doesn’t have much flavour. Like tofu, sea cucumbers take on the flavours of the sauce they are cooked in 🥒

4. Ostrich - The stomach-swelling skewers of Ostrich are heavy, gamey and succulent, replete with a generous side of barbecued vegetables. Healthy-living bonus: despite being classified as red meat, ostrich is actually lower in fat than chicken or turkey, and very high in protein 🍢

5. Camel pizza - The eight-slice pie comes with a crispy, thin crust; a simple red sauce; lots of mozzarella cheese; and a generous helping of minced camel meat 🍕

Stunning scenery, incredible architecture, and an almost never-ending list of iconic historic attractions, Italy has some of the world’s most Mouth-watering food 🇮🇹 🍝

Read on to learn about some of the weirdest Italian Foods and Delicacies you should try...

1. Coda alla vaccinara: This dish is made from cow tail stewed for hours in a savory tomato sauce 🍅

2. Pajat: It is made from the intestines of veal that have not been weaned from their mother, so that their bellies are full of mother’s milk, which becomes creamy and cheesy when cooked 🥛

3. Trippa: In Rome, tripe is eaten after it has been cooked in tomato sauce. Florence is another city that is fond of tripe, where it’s called lampredotto and is cooked in a white sauce and served as a hot sandwich 🥪

4. Strange salami: Cured pork is another weird food area in Italy, using many parts of the pig. One of the strangest is coppa di testa, which in English is called “headcheese”. Made with parts of the head, this salami often looks marbled and can be served as a tagliere, or a mixed meat and cheese plate 🐖

5. Vegetables: If you lean toward veggies instead of meat, don’t worry! There are some strange vegetables served in Italy. One is agretti found in the spring, which looks like a thick grass and tastes wonderful slightly boiled and then mixed with some lemon juice and olive oil 🥬

With a rich and artistic culture, spectacular landscapes, beautiful monuments and some of the world’s finest cuisine, France’s gastronomy is boundless 🍴🇫🇷

Read on to learn about 5 weird French Foods and Delicacies you should try...

1. Escargots de Bourgogne: Snails are up there with frogs’ legs as one of the most stereotypical French foods, a rubbery treat that many visitors to France feel compelled to try 🐌

2. Pieds de porc: It’s said that the French eat every part of the pig aside from the ‘oink'. Trotters, as the British call them, are popular the world over but they are especially adored in France 🐽

3. Foie gras: Made by force feeding ducks and geese large amounts of grain in the weeks prior to their slaughter, a process known as gavage, in order to engorge their livers to roughly 10 times their usual size 🦆

4. Tripe: The French have a great appetite for stomach, preferring to cook it on a low heat for a long time and with lots of herbs and white wine. Tripe’s high protein collagen content also makes it a brilliant health food 😋

5. Oursins: Just as the French are happy to eat every part of every animal that walks the land, pretty much everything that comes out of the sea is fair game. A marine delicacy that you don’t very often see on English menus are urchins 🐚
