Good quality customer advice from travel agencies valued by holidaymakers

Customers can work out if a special offer really is special – what makes them decide about booking a holiday is practical advice and guarantees that they are getting value for money. This is the experience of online travel agency www.holidays-direct.co.uk.

People are still booking holidays but being ever more careful about what they book and where. The over-55s, and especially retired people, are the strongest holiday booking group with particular concern for the type of resort they are booking into.

A trend towards lower hotel prices and the increased desire for people to make the most of the investment they are making in their holidays has led to a slight increase in five star and all-inclusive bookings.

Spain in general, but most particularly, the Canary Islands are proving to be the most popular holiday destinations among these holidaymakers. Lanzarote especially is home to a large number of resort hotels that offer all the facilities holidaymakers need – and with great value for money.

Jon Pearce of www.holidays-direct.co.uk says: “Holidaymakers appreciate the no-nonsense, practical holiday advice from Holidays-Direct". Especially in the current economic climate, people seem to appreciate good quality customer care more than cheaper prices.


According to www.holidays-direct.co.uk Lanzarote is still a very popular destination for the reason that it has something to offer for everyone. There is easy access to the majority of tourist attractions, making it attractive to people with mobility issues. Sports such as windsurfing, trekking and diving make the island very attractive for the sporty and adventurous holidaymakers.

With over a hundred restaurants, many pubs and clubs, Lanzarote is very popular with those who want good night life and with quiet beaches for everyone who likes to rest during their holiday, the island is perfect for every occasion.

Many who want their holiday this year to be as diverse as possible to get the best out of it, have found that Lanzarote has everything they require.
