Despite the credit crunch and the strong Euro, Brits can still get their hands on some great holiday deals according to online travel and leisure retailer lastminute.com. Here are some expert top tips on how to bag yourself the best value for money holidays on the market.

For short haul summer holidays, think non-Euro destinations where the pound is still strong. Hotspots such as the Balkans, Turkey and Northern Cyprus are proving particularly popular.

Shopaholics should head to the US. The dollar is still very weak and there are some great deals to be had. The beaches of Florida are also tipped to be a great hit this summer.

Choose an all-inclusive holiday it will save you money when in resort.

It is not always cheaper to book at the last minute, some of the best value deals are on sale now.

Expect great bargains in May and June as the Euro 2008 kicks in when the rest of Europe will stay at home, the sun-beds will all be empty.

Packages using low cost airlines are notably cheaper and often fly from regional airports bringing overall travel costs down.

When booking flights remain flexible in terms of dates and use lastminute.com’s calendar flight search, by changing a departure date by just one day, you could save literally hundreds of pounds

For a luxurious treat, use lastminute.com’s Top Secret Hotels which with savings of up to 45% on room rates in four and five star hotels will save you a packet.

When booking city breaks, buy flights and hotels together as the overall price is cheaper than buying both separately.

Capitalise on early July bargains if you can. School holidays only start at the end of the month.

More Ideas About Cheap Travel

About Cheap Travel

If you have not brought your own wood on the trip, gather wood that is already dead and lying nearby. Make sure that any leaves close to the fire pit are raked several yards away and that there are no paper products lying on the ground. Throw those in the trash.
Once the fire is started, let it build slowly with smaller twigs and dead branches, only placing larger pieces of wood on the pile as the flame grows. Make sure small children remain several feet away from the flame, as the heat can become intense while it grows. And they certainly should not be close enough that they could slip or trip and fall in.
And finally, never leave a camp fire unattended. When leaving the area (say for a walk) or going to sleep for the night, extinguish the flames. Use a lot of water to douse the flames, saving your clean drinking water when at all possible. Stir the ashes and use more water until the remains are cool enough to the fingers.

Located in the Cappadocia region in the center of Turkey, you can easily take off and explore the region�s elaborate underground cities, hidden cavernous churches and enchanting rock terrain.

Spain’s Party Island Detoxes

Ibiza Dumps Ecstasy for Facials as Spain’s Party Island Detoxes
By Gareth Gore

April 2 (Bloomberg) — On a hilltop in Ibiza, interior designers wearing hardhats are fussing over the position of pillows as they prepare a brochure for Aguas de Ibiza, the Spanish island’s newest resort. Just out of camera range, workers are still building the hotel’s roof.

Ibiza’s transformation is also a work in progress. Aguas de Ibiza, a luxury spa facility, is part of the Mediterranean island’s effort to discard its reputation as a magnet for drug- taking nightclubbers and attract wealthy vacationers to stave off competition from cheaper destinations in Turkey and Greece.

“From the outside we’re seen as a pure party island and that needs to change,” said Albert Torres Gutierrez, 26, whose family is backing the 30 million-euro ($47.3 million), 112-room hotel overlooking Santa Eularia harbor. “Tourism used to be a badge of pride. That pride is gone.”

Ibiza, Spain’s clubbing capital, is in detox as officials try to curb after-hours parties and block permits for hotels below five-star standard to lure a more prosperous — and quieter — class of customer.

“We sold the world a fractured image of ourselves and now we want that to change,” said Josefa Mari Ribas, Ibiza’s head of tourism and economic cooperation. “There’s a long tradition of low-quality tourism on the island and we need to be able to compete with some of these new resorts.”

Drug Crackdown

A police crackdown on drugs last year led to the temporary closure of the clubs Amnesia, Bora Bora and DC-10, a former aircraft hangar famous for its after-hours revelry. As preparations for this season get under way, Mari has asked local lawmakers to consider banning all-night, after-hours dance parties, where music fans often take ecstacy pills to stay awake.

Visitors to Ibiza, the smallest of the three main Balearic islands some 120 miles off Barcelona, have ballooned since the island’s first tourism boom in the 1960s. Some 4.8 million people passed through Ibiza’s airport last year, mainly headed for budget apartments and beachfront margarita bars in towns such as Sant Antoni on the island’s west coast.

Those visitors block roads and jam facilities used by the island’s 114,000 permanent residents, many of whom have called for a crackdown on loud partygoers.

The campaign to lure the rich has already had some success. At Ibiza’s shoreline airport there are more private jets than commercial planes, and the island was visited last year by Hollywood actress Penelope Cruz, hotel heiress Paris Hilton and retired soccer player Zinedine Zidane.

Cheaper Shores

After a worldwide tourism slump in 2000, visitor growth began to slow, even after disc jockeys including Paul Oakenfold and Pete Tong cemented the island’s reputation for dance music at clubs such as Pacha in Ibiza Town.

Now, Europe’s holidaymakers are heading for cheaper shores. While Ibiza’s tourism figures have been almost flat since 2000, trips to nearby Morocco rose 14 percent last year, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization. Visits to Turkey, home of rival party town Bodrum, rose 18 percent.

“We just can’t compete with these places on price,” Mari said from her office in Ibiza Town, where beer can cost more than 6 euros a glass, 24 percent more than five years ago. “Some of our facilities are 20 or 30 years old now and are past their best. We need to improve.”

Tourism is the single-biggest economic driver in the Balearics, with hotels, clubs, and restaurants bringing in 17.4 billion euros, or 72 percent of gross domestic product on Ibiza and the neighboring islands of Mallorca, Menorca and Formentera. The UN has designated Ibiza a World Heritage Site for its combination of biodiversity and culture.

`Not the Same’

Since 2004, Ibiza’s economy has expanded an average of 1.4 percent annually, less than half the rate on the Spanish mainland, where a housing boom has helped the country beat the euro zone’s average growth rate every year for the past decade.

“Things have changed a lot,” said Vicente Mari Serra, 40, a bartender who’s been serving glasses of Ibicencan herbal liquor since 1997 at the Can Anneta bar in the northern village of Sant Carles. “Everything was so new and exciting 20 years ago, but it’s just not the same any more.”

Island bosses are hoping developments like the Torres family’s resort will reinvigorate Ibiza’s tourism industry. It will be the third luxury hotel on an island that until last year had only one. In July, the Mirador de Dalt Vila opened in Ibiza old town displaying local art in the rooms of a 19th-century villa.

The regional Balearic government is also contributing money to build a 45 million-euro convention center to attract business visitors and is negotiating with British Airways Plc, Europe’s third-biggest airline, to introduce winter flights from Britain.

Those moves are necessary, said Alex Reyners, director of Atzaro, a 21-room spa that competes with the new Aguas de Ibiza.

“When it comes to a matter of reputation, the better our businesses and the better the product offered, the better the guest that comes will be,” he said.

Is Turkey’s shining star getting dim

Are alarms ringing in the Turkish economy? Given that two key institutions issued warnings one after the other on the same day, this could be the case

Gila BENMAYOR

  Are alarms ringing in the Turkish economy? Given that two key institutions issued warnings one after the other on the same day, this could be the case.

  The first warning came from the Turkey Trade Union Confederation (TİSK) and the second from the Turkish Industrialists’ and Businessmen’s Association (TUSİAD) followed.

  First, let’s hear from TISK’s Tuğrul Kudatgobilik:

  “Despite the fact that seven months have passed since the elections, the government has made no move in the economy. 2008 will be difficult for Turkey facing high current deficit and serious debt burden. If the growth rate slows down any more, unemployment will rapidly go up. We are worried that we might lose in 2008,” he said in a TİSK meeting titled “Social Policy Agenda”.

  Elsewhere in Istanbul, TUSİAD was concurrently having a meeting titled “Turkey’s Communication on the Way to the EU Membership: The Case of TUSİAD”.

  The subject was not the economy but communicating Turkey to the European Union (EU). But Arzuhan Doğan Yalçındağ, the TUSİAD chair, answered economy-related questions posed by reporters.

   “We are concerned about the economic data. Inflation figures and employment data are not looking good at all. Internal markets are shrinking and unemployment on rise. We have to wake up.”

  Should be ‘handled with care’:

  Yes, we hear pessimistic voices of economic circles that are getting louder everyday. This is exactly why we have to “handle” Turkish tourism “with care”, creating $18 billion annual revenue as the shining star of the economy.

  Tourism is a good source of income as it brings social and economic developments and opening Turkey to outside world. However, sector players are not happy, to the contrary of what is believed.

  I attended a conference last weekend organized by the Turkish Union of Chambers and Commodities Exchanges (TOBB) in the Mediterranean city of Antalya.

  Leading tourism agencies along with Culture and Tourism Undersecretary İsmet Yılmaz attended two-day sessions at Ela Quality Hotel. The targets, demands and deficiencies of the sector were discussed and a conclusion report was released

  The tourism sector aims to attract 50 million foreign and 20 million domestic tourists by 2023; jobs for 5 million people and $50 billion income. Why not?

  Sector representatives whom I talked with are men of vision. Especially the successes of the owners of luxurious hotels in Antalya are world-known.

  We can achieve our goals, but Ankara has to lend an ear to some of the demands, deficiencies and flaws we are addressing, they say.

  ‘All inclusive’ system

  The tourism sector has concerns about the stagnant income against a declining number of tourists. Turkey is a country famous for the “all inclusive” system in hotel accommodations.

  In Antalya, specifically, an excessive number of hotels built randomly caused owners to lower prices thus narrowing the profit margin. One of the key conclusions reached at the conference suggests that tourism agencies and hotel owners unite under an “association”, but no legal infrastructure exists for that.

  At this point, all they want is to be heard in Ankara. But Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu as TOBB chair is cold to this suggestion.

  He believes the sector’s problems should be resolved under the TOBB’s roof.

   “If you have problems, I will fight for you,” he says. Why shouldn’t a sector bringing $18 billion annual income and polishing the image of the country have a voice of its own?

  That’s what I am having trouble understanding.

Turkish Riviera

For most Europeans, Turkey is known for two things when it comes to holidays: the historical city of Istanbul and the Turkish Riviera, packed with **** and ***** hotels along the coast line. They’ve come to enjoy their mega-cheap holidays in Turkey, and I must admit, the value-for-money is great in Turkey. Together we’ll take a short look at what Turkey has to offer, TURKEYlimiting ourselves to the main attractions.

So, okay, most people either visit the beaches or this one great historical city called Istanbul. What’s so special about Istanbul? Well, quite a lot! First of all, this city is the only city in the world that’s actually located on two continents: Europe and Asia. The Bosphorus is the natural border. There’s also quite a lot of cultural sight-seeing to be done: if you visit this city you get to see some of the world’s most amazing mosks, and in the Grand Bazaar you can shop for great authentic carpets and jackets and less authentic branded clothing. A small hint: do not pay what they ask: it’s only worth half of what they start at!

The Turkish Riviera is famous for beaches and all-inclusive resorts, and that’s about it. Don’t go looking for something special, but it’s great fun for a week of relaxing by the sea…

Food Glorious

I never realised when I spent all my years out in Turkey how much I had become ‘used to’ the way of life out there. Styles of bread being limited’ very little ready made food. Even tinned beans were hard to find on a regular basis. In the season as there were more tourists and foreigners around in was a little easier but in the winter things just vanished.

I learned how to make typical Turkish meals as a lot of the time there was quite honestly no alternative. What a culture shock I had when I arrived back in the UK. In the ten years Id lived in Turkey Id only really been back once and that was with my husband when we were arranging to come back here.. that was all hotels and eating out so I still wasnt used to the uk.

WOW when I moved here I was so shocked when I went in a supermarket. I wandered around for what seemed like hours just looking at the vast range of products. How many breakfast cereals are there??? Turkey when I first moved out there was nothinbg and even now there are really only cornflakes, coco pops and museili, here wow thousands of them. How many different brands of sauces and mixes. The choice!!! After many months wandering around these shops at the weekend Id almost settled back into the English way of life again and wam my kids arrived for a stay at Christmas. They were three and six when we moved to Turkey so they cant remember anything. I took them into the Asda the second day they were here and it took me hours to get out again! So if you live here dont take things for granted and if youre planning to move across to Turkey then make sure you are armed with brown sauce, salad cream ( these are the two things my children can now not live without!) and all your favourite things which you will have little chance to find over there. Things are changing but slowly slowly…..

When I call my children on a weekend now they dont ask how I am anymore they add things to the list of ‘things I have to bring’ when I go out on holiday in April to see everyone..

Ive booked my ticket and my bag is already half full of tinned beans, brown sauce, salad cream, noodles etc etc etc…. I dont think any of my clothes will be travellin gwith me this time.. Theres no room my bag will be full of necessities!

Turkish Delight

For those looking to further their wealth, the option of property investment is one that cannot be ignored - particularly in Dubai where we’re inundated with investment options on a daily basis.

Taking nothing away from Dubai - a market still offering excellent investment opportunities - one should embrace the perhaps cliché word, diversification. After all, you wouldn’t want to put all your eggs in one basket, would you? One country offering fantastic property investment opportunities is Turkey. This large country offers scenic coastlines, excellent weather and value for money.
The Bodrum peninsula on the western coast of Turkey offers potential investors the full criteria, making the area highly attractive. The peninsula is a beautifully rugged area with an historical past and glamorous present. Staying open all year round, the coastline favours a strong boating community with numerous world-class marinas in towns such as Bodrum and Yalikavak.
Outside of Istanbul, Bodrum airport is currently the busiest in Turkey with connections through 24 different airports in the UK and Ireland. Flying times from Dubai to Turkey are also around the three-hour mark. It’s therefore no wonder that plans are underway to expand the airport - all of which bring in new interest to the region.
Ascension to the European Union is by no means a given - it may happen in the years to come, perhaps not. But this is not the be all and end all for Turkey. Its economy is firing on all cylinders, with various sectors of the country’s industry performing exceptionally well recently. Turkey has gone through profound transformation in the past five years and the economy is now the 16th largest in the world and has been identified by the US Department of Commerce and the World Bank as one of the ten most promising emerging economies.
Turkey also offers some tax incentives that are of high interest to property investors, such as its regulations regarding capital gains tax. If you sell your property after four years, there is no capital gains tax. Property that is sold before the period is over will be charged at the standard rate of income tax (between 15 per cent and 35 per cent), calculated on the difference between the buying and selling price.
Turkey’s strong economic growth has delivered better job prospects, improved real wages and higher GDP per capita, which has fuelled demand for higher living standards. This increase in wealth and demand for high quality properties, coupled with the fact that 70 per cent of the population are under 30 years old, indicates a huge domestic demand for housing.
The Turkish property market is still in its infancy and has recently undergone a period of radical transformation following a number of significant reforms. The housing deficit, new mortgage legislation, increasing personal wealth, a change in attitudes towards debt and a strong expanding economy indicate that the Turkish property market is set to continue its considerable capital growth in the years to come.
As Turkey is large, the young population’s wealth will continue to grow, and this will put strong upward pressure on property prices. Specialising in international property investment, Mackenzie Macmillan advises a solid client base throughout the GCC. Partnered with Braemore-Gemini, a UK/ Turkish developer with multiple international awards, Mackenzie Macmillan will host a three-day Investment Interactive this week, giving potential investors of all levels the unique opportunity to sit and discuss investment options directly with the developer and gain invaluable property investment advice from the company.
