Fuerteventura thrives on the tourism here but you’ll find that it's easy to get away from the main tourist resort. This popular holiday destination attracts thousands of holiday makers each year.

Here are the top 5 reasons why:

1. The ultimate beach holiday

This island is typified by arid, desert like landscapes and life on this island is centred on the coastal areas. There are miles of stunning beaches stretching out along the coastline of the island. Beach connoisseurs with love the white sands and surfers will be thrilled by the windy conditions.

2. Fantastic weather

Fuerteventura is blessed with almost constant sunshine. Travellers to this island simply need to pack a selection of beachwear, some strong sunblock and a jazzy beach towel and your set for a day on the beach. Although Fuerteventura means ‘strong winds’ - don’t be put off! There are plenty of sheltered places to throw down your beach towel.

3. Accommodation to suit all

There is an excellent choice of accommodation in Fuerteventura and whether you are travelling as a family, group or couple you will find something to suit your tastes. If the bustling resorts with their self catering apartments and luxury hotels are not for you you’ll find many secluded villas to choose from.

4. Cheap flights to Fuerteventura

If you are looking for a cheap holiday then Fuerteventura is definitely worth considering. Cheap flights to Spain are readily available from the UK and most of the main airports have cheap flights to Fuerteventura specifically.

5. Plenty to do

A great trip out is to the Jandia peninsula which includes the breathtaking beaches of Playa de Sotavento de Jandia. These beautiful beaches offer great sunbathing, swimming and surfing opportunities. Alternatively head to the Corralejo dunes which can be found north in a protected area. The resort itself offers little but the dunes will dazzle you with their white sands and crystal blue waters.

Fuerteventura is a great destination with much to offer the beach lover.

The capital of the French-speaking part of Switzerland offers the visitor a wide range of cultural, social and sporting attractions.

Geneva has access to excellent skiing: Europe’s highest mountain Mont Blanc is visible from the city, and famed resorts such as Verbier are little more than an hour’s drive from the centre.

Of the top attractions of the city that you should not miss is Lake Geneva itself, where a wide variety of water-sports activities are available. If sport is not your thing, then the lake itself affords spectacular views of the surrounding Jura Mountains and Swiss Alps, either on excursion by train with one of the several rail companies operating there or from the lake itself aboard a pleasure boat. Don’t miss out on a visit to the landmark Fountain (Jet d’Eau) on Quai du General-Guisan.

The headquarters of the United Nations, The Palace of Nations, is definitely worth a visit: Geneva is dubbed the ‘Peace Capital’ because of its historic association with the UN. In this respect, the museums of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent may also be worthy of your attention.

Cultural attractions include the wide-ranging international collection at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, and the Cathedral of St Peter, where in the sixteenth century John Calvin preached the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation.

For the science enthusiast, a visit to CERN – the European Organisation for Nuclear Research – is a must; two permanent exhibitions offer a wealth of information on the latest in our understanding of subatomic science.

Geneva is a centre for diplomacy and a totally international metropolis; after you have enjoyed its top attractions, you can take advantage of all the fantastic shopping that it offers and the social amenities you would expect of the most populous part of French-speaking Switzerland

In these times of financial constraints the city break, maybe over a long weekend, is becoming increasingly popular. Travellers get a refreshing change of scene without the daily and varied expenses that can be part of a longer holiday.

The following destinations are often reported as being in the top 5 for city breaks: Paris, New York, Dubai, Rome, and Prague.

Paris remains one most popular partly because of its sheer accessibility, by rail (Eurostar), plane, or road. It is also well suited to short breaks since many of its attractions, such as the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower, are within walking distance of one another. Sampling the gastronomic delights, a visit to the Louvre Museum, and a boat trip along the Seine, could all be highlights of a visit to this most romantic of cities.

New York, on the other hand, as a thriving 24-hour city, can offer a more dynamic experience: From a dazzling Broadway musical, to seeing the city stretched out below from the top of the Empire State Building.

Dubai by contrast, has an almost surreal, luxurious beauty, all its own. Amongst its glorious outsize attractions are the Wild Water Park and the awesome Indoor Ski Slope.

Rome, compared to Dubai, is more rooted in classical history, packed with breathtaking ancient monuments, such as the Colosseum. Furthermore, the small-scale works of art which decorate Rome’s plethora of churches complement this city’s grander spectacles.

Prague shares some similarities with Rome in its remarkable historical pedigree – for instance, it was the home of two Holy Roman Emperors. Sites such as Prague Castle, and Wenceslas Square, can be sampled along with the variety of beers for which the city is famous.

Finally, all these cities are especially good at accommodating city break visitors, making sure they get the best out of their trips.

Often referred to as the Gateway to Asia, Thailand is a wonderful country to visit. However, with many more visitors realising its appeal, finding cheap flights to Thailand is not always easy, though with so many websites now offering deals, it is not impossible.

Ahead of anything else, the best way to ensure great flight deals into Thailand is to travel during the low season. As a rule, most people tend to fly into the country during the cooler months of mid-October to May, with costs rising particularly from November to February.

Travelling through the hot season of April and May will be more cost effective, but can be incredibly hot. For excellent deals and to take advantage of significantly reduced Thailand hotels, those who can handle humidity of up to 90% would do well to travel from June to October.

If travelling through the potentially uncomfortable off-season is not on the cards, signing up for alerts on online travel sites can help. Being able to remain flexible with your dates, and advising you are willing to go on standby can also significantly help find cheap flights, as the operators are always wanting to fly full.

As with many areas of the world these days, going ‘all inclusive’ helps to keep in control of costs. Whilst this is true, it does limit the experience somewhat and can convince you not to explore the country so much. To get around this, there are deals to be had where more multiple Thailand hotels in different areas can be worked into the same package.

Getting the best deal to explore the beautiful and intriguing country that is Thailand is possible, but it may take a little work, and compromise. However, though it may also take a little time, it will be well worth it; making for memorable trip that you’ll talk about with your friends and family for many years to come.

A quick glance at various sites online will probably bewilder you with the wide range of possible cheap flights to India, as well as cheap hotels available for your planned trip.

Amongst the many flight deals on offer, you will find a wide disparity in prices, reflecting both the range of different carriers operating flights to India, but also seasonal variation in seat availability. You will also find considerable price variation in your destination choices.

Competition amongst the airlines is fierce, so you can expect to find flagship carriers such as Air India and British Airways vying with younger companies such as Britain’s Virgin Atlantic, and India’s own Jet Airways. This last company has been in existence for less than twenty years, but already operates an extensive domestic service across India, as well as connections to and from capitals in Europe and the US.

In recent years, India has opened up to foreign visitors at a spectacular rate: it is no longer just the destination for hippies or Himalayan trekkers. Quality beach resort holidays are now popular in places such as West-coast Goa; hill resorts such as Kodaikanal in the south have similarly seen a steep rise in holidaymaker numbers over recent years.

As India’s economy competes in growth with that of China, it is readier than ever to meet European and US expectations of comfort and security in its provision for tourists. In fact, there is so much that is now available, it makes looking for flight deals and cheap hotels feel like getting lost in a maze.

If you want to be sure of the best flight deals you can get, and how to make the most of your money for your trip to India, then don’t just chance it on the internet: get the best advice available, from the people that really know.

The more progressive employers have found that holidays are vital to their employees’ well-being. In turn, anything that increases the mental health of one’s employees is of direct benefit to the business.

Sadly many employees still forget the benefits of taking regular holidays and even those that appreciate the benefits seem to get themselves in a tangle when deciding upon how to go about booking their holiday. This article sets out to help you, and reduce unnecessary stress by giving some tips and advice on how to find your cheap holiday.

Many people rely on high street chains when booking their holidays, this is not a good idea as, not only are the chains limited in the options they offer, but they are geared to selling you many extras such as insurance. Many people will accept what they’re offered without considering if it’s best value. They also offer very uncompetitive rates on foreign exchange.

Clearly some people find this a convenient means of travel but it is certainly not the way to get cheap holidays. In many shops, the staff effectively do an internet search for you. This is something you can do yourself in your own time, and you can see what cheap holidays are available. Maybe you will find a deal for a location you had not considered. You can research a location via the internet in your own time and at your own leisure.

Many people have their main holidays and also book short stays throughout the year. This is where cheap holidays come into their own, as even a modest 33 per cent saving on the total cost of your holiday can mean you are able to afford four breaks instead of three.
To summarise, the best tips on finding cheap holidays are to use the internet and keep as open a mind as possible on your ultimate destination and travel dates.

Gran Canaria could be described as a mini continent in itself with a range of diverse beaches and not to mention landscapes. With over 60km of beaches along the distinct coastline that it constitutes, it becomes obvious why it has been a summer hotspot for a multitude of tourists from all around the globe for many a generation and many generations to come.

Maspalomas beach: Well known for its numerous dunes neighbouring the sea and the idyllic climate, the Maspalomas beach is perhaps one of the most popular on the island. Not only does it offer its coastline to the visiting tourists, but also numerous attractions and a vibrant nightlife. Amongst its identifying landmarks is the Maspalomas lighthouse.
La playa del inglés: Just next door to the Maspalomas beach is the playa del ingles. As one of the main tourist beaches, it is appropriately lined with restaurants and souvenir shops for its visitors to enjoy.

When planning your holidays to Sharm El-Sheikh its best to research where all the fantastic activities are within the city, especially if you are a love being under water. In Sharm El-Sheikh there are around fifty different diving sites, and benefits from deep clear water ranging in temperature from 20°C to 27°C. The area is host to a wide range of marine life and brightly coloured coral, so it’s easy to see why this is such an attractive diving location and great place to.

With so many fantastic diving sites to choose from, it can be difficult knowing which to choose.

Jackson Reef – This reef is the most northern in the Strait of Tiran. It has steep walls and beautiful corals, and strong currents ensuring a fascinating range of marine life, including barracudas and several types of shark. This is an extremely popular reef.

SS Dunraven – This is one of the Red Sea’s most popular wreck sites. The Dunraven was a Victorian ship wrecked while carrying goods including cotton from India. It sank in the upside-down position, and over the years its contents have been stripped away, leaving a dramatic cavernous space.

Shark and Yolanda Reef – These two sites are normally combined into one trip. Shark Reef is home to several types of shark, occasionally including hammerheads, and features a steep drop and a stunning soft coral wall. The neighbouring Yolanda Reef was named after a vessel which sank there.

Thomas Reef – This is a small reef in the Straits of Tiran which features a deep canyon that is suitable for experienced cave divers. Thomas Reef features beautiful coral formations and species including barracudas, reef sharks and huge cod and tuna.

SS Thistlegorm – This ship sank while carrying British army supplies to Alexandria, and many of her contents can still be seen. This well-preserved wreck makes for a very exciting dive, and most divers make a day trip out of the Thistlegorm, planning at least two dives there.
