Vacations
Vacations can vary in a mass of shapes and sizes. Taken as well deserved to summer hotspots, winter sports adventures or one of your must visit places! City breaks and stag and hen doos abroad are also great vacation getaways. Some vacation may even be for business rather than leisure purposes! Whatever the reason vacation need to be enjoyed, and affordable. Here at Fleetway Travel we can find your perfect vacation at your perfect price. Vacations can be taken pretty much anywhere in the world, with seven continents and many countries within them too, vacations are a great chance to see all the far fetched corners as well as the frequently visited. For Brits the most popular destinations to visit are to continental Europe and North America. The sunny shores of Spain and fun filled Florida being the most popular. Some people venture out to the climes of Africa, Asia and Australasia to. With the Arctic easily reached via Scandinavia it is regularly visited yet Antarctica rarely gets a look in. Being so far away and generally more expensive!
The continent of Europe is the most dynamic on the planet. Boasting about 50 countries, all with their own unique characters and cultures. Lifestyles and languages completely change within a matter of miles. For us Brits summer vacations always used to be vastly restricted to these familiar destinations. A two week trip to a full board hotel in the Spanish Costas was a yearly event. An annual ski trip to the Alps was a high–light for the lucky view and maybe a city break to Paris in the mean time. In the past few decades however, with the introduction of package vacations, low cost airlines and the general loss of worry and snobbishness to other cultures, the Brits are adventuring! Top vacation destinations in Europe still remain as the chic resorts of Spain, in the Costas, The Balearic Islands and the Canaries. As well as the traditional realms of Portugal, Italy, France and Greece. With the "newer" countries of the continent becoming firm favourites in the British summer vacation industry. Many Brits will now take a summer holiday in the better value for money resorts of Bulgaria and Croatia. For city breaks the usual stagnant cities of Western Europe are being overridden by the hip, youthful cities of the Baltic States, Poland and Russia. Yet Stockholm, London, Paris, Rome and the gems of Spain will always remain popular. For skiing the slopes of Bulgaria and even Cyprus are rivalling those of the French, Austrian and Italian Alps.
The best kept secrets of the Caribbean have also recently been opened. Jamaica, Cuba, Barbados and the Dominican will always remain popular yet the smaller, more remote and unspoilt islands of Tobago, St Lucia and St Kitts are definitely becoming great hits. With much of South America also opened up to package vacations, making it cheaper for eager Brits to travel here on a break from the norm. Mexico and Brazil are proving to be full of excitement, tasty dishes and great historical sights, not to mention the great shopping and outstanding beaches. North America has always been a favourite place to go, entertaining Florida, cool California and the ever wonderful New York. Skiing has also become a hit, with emptier pistes than those of Europe, fast efficient lifts and great après–ski opportunities. The Southern states of the USA as well as many other cities like Boston, Las Vegas, Chicago and the countries amazing national marks like Yellow Stone and Yosemite are great places to visit to!
South Africa, jungle tours and the North African countries of Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt have allowed African travel to really boom! The exciting cultures, deep history and lovable cities have allowed for wonderful vacations. Gorgeous beaches and top amenities have been drawing in Brits for the last decade in their thousands. The Maldives, Dubai, Mauritius and especially Thailand have become great places for couples and families. Falling at the more expensive end of the market but utterly worth every penny. Holidays of a lifetime with everything you can imagine and much, much more. Without forgetting Australia and New Zealand, the home of neighbours, home and away, kath and kim as well as Sydney, Perth, Canberra, Cannes and the famous great barrier reef. New Zealand hosts the famous adventure holidays along with the fabulous set of Lord of the rings and wildlife that just cannot be missed!
Types of vacations as well as their destinations vary dramatically from one end to another. Camping holidays across the UK and much of Europe are an old favourite. They are a great chance to go back to nature and perfect if you are travelling on a budget. Caravanning holidays and lodges in holiday parks are a slightly more comfortable way of enjoying the great outdoors to. Parks in England have a reputation as being great, with plenty of day time and evening entertainment! As well as being complete with cooking facilities and a plenty with bars and restaurants. Water parks and adventure activities can even be found. Self catering vacations are a great idea for those fussy eaters, and even better if you are on a budget. They can range from Villas, apartments and even houses! Villa vacations allow for a home from home and are very popular with families. Many can be found with their own swimming pools and sometimes tennis courts and games room. Villas in Florida are always impressive! Apartments often come with great central locations; they are great for throwing guests into the life of the locals! Self catering vacations are also great if you are more of a fan of restaurant food than hotel buffets – there is never any money wasted and the choice is always your own. Hotel vacations can also vary greatly, some are large and luxurious whilst others are locally ran. Vacation villages are a great option for families. With different types of board basis´ to chose from to! Boasting a lesser hotel feel yet with all the hotel conveniences!
