Winter sun fun for families and friends
16 November 2010 15:34
Every year more and more people choose to take a holiday during the colder months. A final burst of holiday fun in the sun before Christmas or as a great way to start the New Year.
This winter will be a great time to travel as package deals and short break prices look set to be great value. As the UK economy sees signs of improving more people will be looking to travel as we head into 2011. Last year you could get some good deals, but this year looks set to be the best yet.
Airlines, tour operators and hotels are all looking to end the year on a high and are looking to fill bed spaces so they have reduced their margins, meaning there are some great deals for travellers. It's also the best time to practice your haggling skills as you are more likely to find you can negotiate even better rates than those that are advertised.
Make the most of the discounts by jetting off to somewhere sunny before Christmas (when prices soar for the festive period) or get in an early break in January to shake off the January blues. If you want a specific date then it's probably best to book early, but if you're lucky enough to have flexibility with your travel dates then it may be worth holding out and grabbing a last minute bargain.
Top ten suggestions for winter sun breaks:
- Africa
- Bali
- Caribbean
- Dubai
- Egypt
- Gambia
- Goa
- Indian Ocean
- Sri Lanka
- Thailand
Winter sun breaks are perfect for families and groups of friends. So many destinations offer great deals for families, with Kids' Clubs and activities available in many resorts. Groups of friends can make the most of great prices and take in tours and group excursions no matter what the destination.
