Author: Kim ChambersForecasts are apparently telling us that this year Britain will be able to enjoy the sun however with the gloomy weather we have had over the last week or two, in Scotland it has pretty much rained non stop, many people aren’t waiting around to see if it will materialise.
Many people have decided that they want a summer holiday and have booked holidays where they definitely will get hot weather where they can pick up a nice tan. I read in the news travel agents have experienced a bit jump in bookings making up for the slump the recession has caused in the earnings.

European holiday destinations have really suffered from the strong Euro; many of us are looking to cheaper locations outside of the Euro zone. However it is worth taking the time to look at destinations such as Spain. There have been many resorts and hotels discounting heavily so they can encourage people back in to the country. Make sure you consider the overall cost of the holiday as while you might save a lot of money on the hotel price, the costs of meals and other items you buy will be expensive when you are buying in Euros.
There are many other great locations that people are flocking to this year outside of the Euro zone. Turkey is one of the more popular destinations offering hot weather that you just can’t get in the good old UK.
To get the best deals you do have to be flexible and consider all your options such as booking flights separately or as a package. Arming yourself with the best deals also means that you can haggle with tour operators to try and negotiate them down.
Now is a great time to be able to fly to destinations that you may have not otherwise considered and have experience a different type of holiday. Even looking at long haul flights can bring up some great deals, with Florida another popular destination this year, great for taking the kids away to somewhere everyone will enjoy.
