Spanish hotels cheaper than many in Turkey

2010-07-09T09:53:00.000+01:00

For the first time in five years, some hotels in parts of Spain are cheaper than similar accommodations in Turkey along with other rival destinations.

The director of the Spanish Tourist Office, Ignacio Vasallo, stated that together with the weaking of the euro and the strengthening of the Turkish lira, it has prompted a shift in pricing. That, along with 12% discounts in four star properties and 15% in three star properties, means that many Spanish hotels are now cheaper than in Turkey.

Vasallo also stated that Spanish hotels have reacted to a booking crisis, making many of them cheaper than those in Turkey for the first time in five years. He also added that the Spanish market this year was down by 6% on 2009, a year which also started badly.

However, this shows an improvement on January this year when sales were 22% behind the same period in 2009, thanks to an increase in the market for couples, which is Spain's strongest market.

If you would like prices or for us to check any availability, please just give us a call on 01582 484200 or send an email. Alternatively, please log on to our website and proceed to the special offers page, where you will find many great prices for Spain and the surrounding areas.

La Palma - Canary Islands

2010-02-26T08:38:00.000Z

La Palma is one of the smaller Canary Islands which is becoming a popular destination for the UK market, an ideal alternative for those holidaymakers who prefer a more relaxed holiday and those who want to avoid the typical touristic resorts that neighbouring islands like Tenerife and Gran Canaria offer.

Thomson currently operate weekly flights from both London Gatwick and Manchester on a Monday to Monday turnaround [odd flight durations are currently not available].

La Palma isn't your run-of-the-mill beach resort, and unlike some of its neighbours, it isn't blessed with mile upon mile of golden sands. The coastline tends to be quite wild and rugged. However, you'll find hideaway coves tucked away here and there, and there are some good sandy beaches too. Most of these are concentrated around Puerto Naos, Puerto de Tazacorte and Los Cancajos. All three areas offer up striking strips of black volcanic sand where you can while away a few hours in the sun. A huge benefit is that the beaches don't tend to get overly crowded.

The resort of Los Cancajos is mainly where most of the islands accommodation can be found and is frequently described as La Palma's most developed holiday resort. Popular establishments here include the Centrocancajos Apartments or the Hacienda San Jorge Aparthotel. Prices start from as little as £16.00 per person per night during May, are on a self catering basis and are based on 1 bedroom apartments for 2 people*

For further information regarding these or any or accommodation on La Palma, please feel free to call reservations or click here to send an email. *All prices are subject to availability and may change.

A daily procession of extravagantly decorated horses and carriages carry resplendent girls dressed in flamanco style dress through the streets of the city, a sign that revellry is about to begin.

The event began in the 19th century as a livestock market, becoming the grand spectacle it is today in the 1920s. Have you experienced such a party, or been to this particular Feria?

Blackpool Airport is Britain's Best

2009-04-06T08:26:00.004+01:00

When it comes to customer service, Blackpool Airport is flying his above the competition.

In a recent survey carried out by consumer magazine "Which? Holiday", Blackpool Airport received a passenger satisfaction score of 80%, with travellers impressed by the short waiting time and food on offer at the airport.

A spokesman for the airport said that Blackpool invests a great deal of time in training its staff to ensure that those taking holidays are well looked after.

However, some of the country's larger airports did not fare quite so well, with Heathrow's Terminal 1 being named as the worst place in the UK to catch a flight.

Lost luggage

2009-03-24T08:30:00.002Z

The BBC recently reported that "no-frills airlines can be among the slowest to pay up when they lose or damage passengers' luggage, a report has said".

Apparently with a million bags being lost by carriers in 2007, missing luggage can prove a massive headache for travellers - and airlines are making life unduly difficult for fliers who try to claim compensation, the Air Transport Users Council study found.

Movies can influence choice of holiday destination

2009-03-21T14:17:00.004Z

It was reported in March 20 edition of Travel Bulletin that "a third of British travellers say they have been inspired to holiday or travel to a destination after seeing it in a film, according to research by travelsupermarket.com", and that this trend was strongest amont the younger generation.

Half of those under 30 have taken inspiration for holiday destinations from the big screen, while a quarter of those over 70 have also visited locations featured in films.

It is said that the top ten "location vacation" destinations are .... Slumdog Millionaire [India], The Beach [Thailand], Australia [Australia], Captain Corelli's Mandolin [Kefalonia], Lord of the Rings [New Zealand], Memoirs of a Geisha [Japan], Braveheart [Scotland], Out of Africa [Kenya], Hideous Kinky [Marrakech], and Ocean's Eleven [Las Vegas].

Age-specific Holidays under threat from Equalities Bill

2009-03-20T08:22:00.007Z

Travel Weekly has recently reported that "Time is running out for the industry to fight government plans that could spell the end of age-specific holidays and agents selling insurance".

They go on to explain that the Equalities Bill plans to extend age discrimination regulations to include goods and services which would mean that services provided by agents and operators - ranging from insurance to holidays - would be undable to have any age-related restrictions.

This could therefore mean that certain types of holidays, such as those for the over 50s and the 18-30s market could become taboo as they would be considered discriminatory.

The article does explain that the government has agreed to consider exemptions for group holidays.

This is just a small part of the article from Travel Weekly, but what do you think? Surely somebody would rather know before they booked whether a hotel was suited more towards the 18-30s crowd or the older generation.

Changing Money "can be costly"

2009-03-17T08:45:00.004Z

It has been claimed that holidaymakers who buy their currency at the airport often pay over the odds. Foreign exchange specialist FairFx have said that people who change their money at Heathrow Airport could pay up to 9% more than those who buy through an online provider. Following last week's base rate cut and decision to introduce quantative easing, exchange desks at Heathrow were selling less than one euro to the pound.

Stephen Heath, chief executive of FairFx commented that airport travel money bureax have long taken advantage of travellers who leave buying their holiday cash until they reach the airport by offering far worse rates than outside the terminal.

Airports - the good, bad and ugly

2009-03-16T08:08:00.005Z

The Air Transport Users Council recently reported that airport security measures and waiting time are getting better. James Fremantle, industry affairs manager at the organisation, said that there was some truth in the suggestion that British airports were not as efficient as their foreign counterparts. However, he added that airports are under a lot of pressure now to improve things. "There are some problems with airports and there has been a lot of publicity about it, but it is not as bad as it seems," he commented.

A recent poll by the CAA revealed that 80% of passengers travelling to destinations such as the Canary Islands, were satisfied with their airport experiences. Of those surveyed, 87% said that they were able to check their luggage in within 20 minutes of arriving.

This got me thinking about my own personal experiences with airports - the worse being on my return from Jamaica. It may have been many years ago, but I will never forget the 7 hour delay encountered at the airport in the middle of summer with just a few fans to help stop hundreds of people overheating [mainly monopolised by mums and their young children], and with more and more people arriving, the coolest place to sit was the floor!

What about your experiences. Let us know about your favourite airport, or worse experience encountered at an airport.
