Brits want more exotic holidays reports Freedom Direct

British holidaymakers want more from their holidays according to online travel agency Freedom Direct. Instead of the traditional lazy sun holiday they want to combine beach holidays with new experiences and culture. The wider availability of cheap holidays in exotic countries has led to new favourite holiday destinations in different countries.

Simply lying on the beach during a holiday is not enough for British holidaymakers; more and more Brits want an exotic holiday where they have the chance to see historical sights or experience a new culture. Cheap holidays in Turkey, Egypt,Morocco and other exotic locations have recently grown in popularity.

Part of the reason for the growing interest in more active holidays is that exotic holidays are no longer expensive; there are plenty of bargain holidays available in exotic destinations. Especially if you book early.

Nick Jackson from the online travel agency Freedom Direct says: “People want to make the most of the time they have off for a holiday. They want relaxing on the beach, good food, exotic cocktails, and also a chance to experience a new culture and see new sights.

“We offer bargain holidays in Turkey, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. They all offer a very different cultural setting to the popular European holiday destinations – and unique history which has left them with many exotic historical sights to visit. These are also great destinations for family holidays, as there is something for everyone."

Freedom Direct offers bargain holidays in many popular European and Caribbean destinations, and also in exotic destinations. Holidaymakers can book their holiday online at www.freedomdirect.co.uk
