Good news for families looking to book  holiday villas abroad is that the planned Flight Tax rises that were due to come in next month look to have been scrapped.  This about-turn could save families up to £40 when going on long haul flights to popular destinations such as Orlando, Florida.  Even shorter haul European flights to Spain or Italy would have been hugely affected.  This could boost the number of families wanting to get away from it this summer and enjoying relaxing holiday accommodation in the sunnier climates.

Looking for a last minute break in Spain?  This modern holiday apartment is beautifully appointed, including full air conditioning. It has a roof terrace with retractable sun awning and BBQ enjoying spectacular views of Quesada Golf Course and this mountainside development. There is a communal swimming pool to the back of the property and the blue flag beaches of Guardamar is only 10 minutes away. This holiday home is ideal for golf breaks with 14 golf courses within 30minutes driving distance.  Click here to book this holiday apartment in Quesada.

Applications on mobile phones will have the biggest impact on holiday booking trends in 2011 according to ABTA with it expected to overtake PCs by 2014 in overrall European percentage penetration. It is also forcasted that by 2015 over half of European travellers will use ’smartphone’ applications to search for or book holidays.

This gives a brand new meaning to booking a holiday ‘on the go’ as a traveller will effectively be able to travel to a resort and book the most suitable holiday accommodation available while travelling or even walking around.

An estimated four million Brits will be packing their cases and leaving their hats and scarves at home as they travel overseas for the festive period in search of warmer climates.

Many Brits will be travelling to sunnier destinations with holiday homes in Spain proving the most popular destination with the all-year-round warm weather of the Canary Islands proving really popular.

With more and more leaving Britain for good, there is also a sharp increase in the number of Brits travelling to see friends and family and enjoying the festive break with them in warmer climates.
