Big is not always best for family holidays…

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

… well certainly not where holiday operators are concerned.  According to the latest survey by consumer watchdog Which? the large tour operators including Cosmos, Thomas Cook and First Choice were at the bottom of the customer satisfaction table.  While head of Thomas Cook UK expressed concerns in “finding these results difficult to accept” it doesn’t make happy reading for the major tour operators.

So if you now looking for your 2010 summer holiday why not check out some of the smaller operators such as Eurocamp, Hoseasons, Keycamp and Haven – who all offer great value family holidays.  Click here if you are looking for family holidays in France, Spain or Italy with Eurocamp or Keycamp or why not try a Spanish villa with a smaller operator.

Texting on holiday set to be cheaper

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

For all those holidaying in Europe this year the good news is that sending texts home via your mobile phone will cost just 9p. For most people that is a 60% reduction on exisiting rates thanks to MEP’s who voted to cap the costs of roaming texts from July.

Rules set in July 2007 had already reduced the excessive costs of phoning from abroad but texting had remained a profitable loophole for the operators.

This is great news for all us setting off on our summer holidays – knowing that the odd text to family and friends to let them know we have arrived safely isn’t going to cost a small fortune.

Eurocamp holiday parks returning to the UK

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Some great news for those looking for family holiday parks in the UK… Eurocamp has announced that it plans to re-establish itself in the UK this year. The holiday parc operator has focussed its family holiday efforts in recent years on its European network, particularly in France, Spain and Italy.

However, with the effects of the recession being felt across the UK and British families increasingly looking for holidays closer to home, Eurocamp felt it was the perfect time to relaunch a UK holiday solution.

More details about this will be announced in the coming weeks but we are definitely hoping that they bring their full Eurocamp experience to the UK including the highly successful kids clubs, quality sites and on-site couriers, mobile homes and tents.

With operators such as Hoseasons already in the UK, the relaunch of a UK Eurocamp offering should put a further emphasis on improving holiday park services and pricing – good news all round.  You can seach for great value holiday park accommodation right here: Search for UK holiday parks

Air passengers to get a new champion

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Good news for holiday travellers as the Transport Secretary has announced new Government plans for a new champion for air travellers when things go wrong with flights. Rail watchdog, Passenger Focus, will become responsible for upholding passengers rights.

In further good news for holiday travellers and a further rebuke to the Civil Aviation Authority, the minister Geoff Hoon said that the CAA has to put travellers interests first and do more to meet environmental obligations. Feedback from travellers has been that they want more toilets and baggage carousels and these are the issues the CAA will be expected to address.

UK holiday boom predicted

Friday, February 13th, 2009

The weak state of the pound could lead to British holiday makers choosing to take more holidays in the UK this year a tourism chief has suggested.  The VisitBritain chairman believes that tourism is one of the few industries that could show growth during the current recession and highlighting that by 2018 the industry could be worth as much as £133 billion (currently it is around £114 billion).

It certainly seems true that athough the recession is receiving daily coverage in the news media, holidays appear to be the last thing that people are currently prepared to sacrifice.  Bookings for UK holidays ranging from B&B and guest house accommodation to self catering, boat holidays and holiday parks have all been experiencing a very positive start to the year.
