With the increase in VAT and rising petrol price, many people are under the assumption that there will not be too many cheap holidays to find in 2011. However, that is not the case at all. There are some great bargains around, and hotel prices as well as transfers and attractions in other countries are not affected by the VAT increase at all, so the prices still remain the same, giving you the same bargain holidays for 2011 that you have enjoyed over the previous years.
As a travel agent, I put together cheap holidays for clients on a daily basis, and I know exactly where the best bargains can be found. You will find the best bargains on all inclusive holidays and package deals, that package together flights, accommodation and transfers in one price. In my experience, the five best short haul cheap holiday destinations from the UK are Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia.
Turkey has always been a favourite amongst Brits, mainly because of the fact that it is not in the Euro zone, so prices are still very low, I have even seen a 7 night all inclusive package for GBP199! When you hear the phrase 'all inclusive', this means that flights, hotels and transfers are included, as well as three meals a day and all soft drinks and alcohol. This is proving the most popular type of cheap holiday, as you can literally leave your wallet at home as everything would have already been paid for up front.
The sunny Greek Islands offer some incredible deals as well, and flight times from the UK mean that you can be in your sunshine villa in no time at all. Egypt is hugely popular as well, with direct flights to Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada and Luxor proving the most popular. There are also incredible bargains to be found on Nile cruises. The North African countries of Morocco and Tunisia are the two biggest up and coming destinations for cheap holidays, with all year round sunshine and great beaches, and not much more than around four to five hours from the UK.
However, do you want to know a sneaky trick of the trade? Don't always trust one package holiday quote as the cheapest way to go on holiday.
