The most important advantage of an historical property is their potential to turn out to be a highly profitable investment. These historic properties can be made to a museum or tourist attraction.

Foreign Real Estate - Speculative but Profitable

A would-be real estate investor at a conference in Puerto Vallarta in April said he'd researched the Costa Rican property market for five years, considering making a buy. Meantime, prices appreciated, maybe, 200% in that period. The market became too expensive for him and he never did act.

Another investor at a Real Estate Forum in Puerto Plata, explained that he'd been watching the market in the Caribbean island nation of the Dominican Republic, for more than two years but was still uncertain as to whether or where to buy. He lamented the rate of appreciation of property values during those 24 months.

Two pieces of advice: First, yes, do your homework. But, second, don't become paralyzed by the analysis. Nothing is guaranteed. You'll rarely identify a "perfect" time to buy. You'll never know you're making the right move. In any market, at any time, you could lose everything you invest.

If those things make you uneasy...you shouldn't be thinking about investing in international real estate. This is risky business...often speculative...in unregulated, Wild West markets. Dealing with people you wouldn't do business with if you had any choice (sometimes you don't). If something goes wrong, you'll likely have little or no recourse.

That's the game. Investing in foreign real estate is more risky and more complicated than investing in U.S. real estate. Recognize these truths. Choose your markets. Do your research and due diligence.

You must have the answers to the six primary factors to consider when making a real estate investment--and how each one affects your level of income: 1. Why you're making the investment. Do you intend to use and enjoy the property? Or, are you only looking at the investment potential? That's important to your initial outlay and your long-(or short-) term returns. 2. What's your tolerance for risk? Learn your Risk Comfort Level, is this investment within those parameters? 3. Your options for financing. Cash or credit? Your answer helps determine your investment. 4. What fits well in your existing portfolio? To be well-balanced, your portfolio should have a range of assets including real estate--and your portfolio should include a range of properties. 5. Your level of experience in the market. Experience is the roughest teacher--because it gives the test before it gives the lesson. 6. Your desired level of involvement. Your level of participation will help you determine your type of investment.

Then act. Take a first step. Don't invest money you can't afford to lose. Control the circumstances as much as possible. But don't wait for a sign from above that the timing and the opportunity are ideal. The sign won't come...and the market won't wait. For a first deal, you should probably invest no more than $50,000. Here are six buys you could make right now (May '06) with that budget:

1. A small apartment for short-term rental in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Three years ago, in the wake of the peso devaluation, you could have bought a big apartment in a prime neighborhood for less than $50,000. Values in this market, however, have more than doubled in that period. Still, you can buy a decent apartment in a neighborhood appealing for the short-term renter for about that amount today.

2. A colonial apartment for short-term rental in Montevideo, Uruguay. Our Roving Latin America Scout Lee Harrison reports that Uruguay's is the best buy real estate market in the Americas right now. Real estate costs about the same in Montevideo as it does in Buenos Aires, except in the Old Towns. Today, you can buy an apartment in Montevideo's Old Town--just beginning to be rediscovered--for as little as $540 per square meter. Compare this with $2,000 a meter or more for a similar buy in B.A.

3. A condo in Panama City, again rentable on the short-term market. Here, though, to stay within the budget, you'll have to finance...which is possible in Panama. Put $50,000 down on a $150,000 apartment...and your rental income could cover your monthly mortgage payments. At today's values, that $150,000 could buy you a one- or two-bedroom condo in a new building, which is a good product for this rental market.

4. A sea view apartment in Croatia, again for the short-term rental market. You can find a good buy on a renovation in some parts of this country for less than $50,000, but it'll likely require substantial further investment to make it what you need for rental...perhaps as much as another $100,000. Instead, look for new-build. Specifically, right now, there is an opportunity on the island of Ciovo (note that the locals don't consider it an island, as it is connected to the mainland by a bridge that you won't even notice driving over). This is a destination for middle-class Central Europeans who drive down easily from Hungary, Austria and Slovenia for vacation. It also boasts easy access to the Split airport, which offers flights each day connecting through Zagreb and a few direct flights from outside Croatia. There's a new-build studio apartment on this island available for $58,000. Yes, it's a little outside the parameters of the budget suggested above, but it'd potentially make a good rental.

5. Cyprus is struggling with reunification problems. But, with some of the remarkable real estate opportunities --and the EU about to impact--the rewards may well be worth the risks. In the popular resort town of Kyrenia, northern Cyprus , you can get a three-bedroom sea-view apartment-- for just $55,000! (To put that into perspective, a similar property would cost you $110,000 in southern Cyprus...$250,000 in Corsica...and $330,000 on the island of Mallorca.) Property taxes are almost non-existent. Inheritance taxes have been abolished. And capital gains taxes don't even kick in until your gains are in excess of $20,200.

6. Bulgaria is a quiet, picturesque country--once home to world-class European ski resorts-and it has become one of Europe's fastest developing nations. It could easily become one of your fastest growing investments. Bulgaria's mountainous countryside is studded with ancient farmhouses begging for restoration. Many compare it to Tuscany in the 1970s. And, if you act now, you can pick up an abandoned farmhouse nestled in the verdant hills-- for just $9,800!

Borovets is the oldest and largest ski resort in Bulgaria . It's also one of the hottest Alpine investment opportunities in the world. And right now, you can get a two-story, 1,200 sq. ft. house situated in a peaceful village minutes from Borovets...with a large garden and views of the slopes-- for under $30,000!

Good luck.

Hotels in Sofia

Sofia's motto is "Ever Growing, Never Aging!"

The city of Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria and it lies in the Sofia Plain, enclosed by the Balkan Mountains to the north, the Lozen Mountain to the southeast, Mountain Vitosha to the south, the Lulin Mountain to the southwest. The plain is open to the northwest in the direction of Yugoslavia, and to the southeast to the Thracian Lowland. Sofia is situated 55 km from the Serbian border at Kalotina checkpoint, 113 km from the Gyueshevo checkpoint with Republic of Macedonia, 183 km from the Greek border at Koulata, 315 km from the Turkish border at Kapitan Andreevo, 211 km from the Romanian border at Vidin, 324 km at Rousse, 392 km from our maritime border at the port of Bourgas, and 470 km from the port of Varna. The Iskar River flows by the city, and several smaller rivers cross the city, the most popular of these being the Vladaya and the Perlovo Rivers. In close proximity to the capital city lie Pancherevo Lake and Iskar Dam.

The biggest sight of the present-day city is the Alexander Nevski Cathedral, which represents the central Patriarch's cathedral of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. The cathedral was finished in 1912 after the design of the Russian architect Pomerantsev. The square around the cathedral is also a popular sight among tourists for its Monument to the Unknown Soldier where an eternal flame burns. One can also visit there an open-air market for national costumes, embroideries, paintings, crafts and objects of antiquarian value. The St Sofia Church, dating back to the 4-6th century AC but restored and open to visitors, also stands out in the same square. The eastern part of the square hosts the building of the National Gallery of Foreign Arts. There are a large number of other places that are worth seeing such as the National Library, the Sofia University, the National Assembly square, the Slaveykov square and its book market, and many more.

The main shopping areas in Sofia are on Vitosha Boulevard (now pedestrian and closed for vehicles), Graf Ignatiev St., Rakovski St. and Pirotska St. The largest shopping malls in the city include TzUM, City Center Sofia, Mall of Sofia, Sky City Center and the recently opened Serdica Center. All of them host stores of world famous brands and offer many bars, restaurants and entertainment facilities such as the IMAX 3D movie theatre and a bowling centre.

Traveling to Sofia involves choosing a place to stay. The Sofia hotel you choose can made a tremendous difference in your enjoyment of your vacation or business trip, yet it's difficult to find a Sofia hotel that meets your needs if you haven't been to the city before. Taking into account service, quality, price, and location are important, but Sofia hotels can offer so much more - such as views of sites steeped in history and easy access to transportation.

The city of Sofia offers many accommodation opportunities. Currently there are about 50 hotels in Sofia from different category. Most popular ones are the world famous brands like Sheraton Sofia Hotel Balkan, Kempinski Zografski Hotel, Holiday Inn and Radisson BLU Hotel. There are also smaller and cosy hotels like Art 'Otel and Meg Lozenets Hotel.

Sofia is a joy to visit, whether for pleasure or business. Just keep in mind that, when you make your Sofia hotel reservations, you choose a Sofia hotel that has the quality, service, and location that you need.

Rent Your Holiday Home in Spain Or Bulgaria

Spain and Bulgaria offer some of the best vacation options in the world. Sunny beaches, exciting cities, and centuries of history make these holiday destinations ideal for families, couples, and single people. Whether you want to motor a boat on the exquisite waters, play a round of golf, ski down dramatic slopes, drink in the sun's warm rays beside a palm-graced pool, visit museums and historic sites, or amble along the craggy cliffs, Spain and Bulgaria have it all.

But this isn't news to the thousands of people who have already decided to buy a vacation home or rental property on Spain's Costa del Sol, Sunny Beach in Bulgaria, or any of a number of other ideal holiday destinations. If you are one of these fortunate people, you know there are always plenty of holidaymakers willing to pay for the convenience and luxury of fine homes for their vacations.

Property management services make renting villas and apartments in Spain and Bulgaria both easy and profitable for the property owners. Full-service real estate companies handle all the marketing and letting details in the Costa del Sol cities of Benalmadena, Fuengirola, Mijas Costa, Eliviria, Marbella, Nueva Andalucia, and Puerto Banos. From Bulgaria's capitol Sofia to coastal towns of Borovets, Bansko, Pamporovo, Obzor, Saint Vlas, Nessebur, Aheloi, Pomorie, Ravda, Sunny Beach, Sarafovo, Bourgas, Sozopol, Primorsko, and Tzarevo, comprehensive property management services do all the work of holiday letting.

Property management involves a strategic relationship between the agent and the customer, catering to the needs of high-end property owners. Niche marketing combines a global real estate and holiday rental network with advertising and Internet exposure that target the appropriate consumer base.

If you own a holiday home in Spain or Bulgaria, you want to know that your property is safe and well maintained. Property management companies conduct regular property inspections and handle meter readings and utility payments. They attend to electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, swimming pool, and appliance repairs. Quality property managers provide all cleaning services, from deep cleaning to change over cleaning to maid service.

Property managers in Spain and Bulgaria do more than rent your property. They can also oversee building refurbishment and renovation, including interior and exterior remodeling. From small jobs like painting to major projects such as building additions, they make sure the work is completed on time, on budget, and to your satisfaction. They can arrange for the design and installation of kitchens, bathrooms, and swimming pools.

If you are considering buying a holiday rental property in Spain or Bulgaria but are concerned about how you will manage it, talk to a property management company that has both local presence and worldwide advertising. They can help you find the ideal property, furnish it, rent it, and maintain it. And when you come for your vacation, you will find your property in perfect shape so you can just relax and enjoy your gorgeous surroundings. With housing property prices in Bulgarian cities falling, now is the perfect time to purchase a holiday property and contract with a management company for rental services.

Mad Cow Theater - Some Serious Entertainment in Orlando

There are a lot of entertainment choices available to you if you are vacationing in Orlando. For example, you can go to the night clubs at Universal and Disney or take in one of the many dinner shows on Orlando's International Drive. However, if you appreciate top-flight theater, then you should definitely plan to spend one evening at the Mad Cow Theater.

The Mad Cow Theater started in 1997, housed in a former blueprint studio in Maitland, Florida. Starting with a simple two-show format, the theater began to attract the attention of both critics and audiences alike.

After an initial period, where it was housed in other Florida institutions, the theater put down roots in downtown Orlando where it has become an important of the city-center's cultural scene. In this location, the theater has maintained a high level of performance and was acclaimed as the Best Theater in Orlando two years in a row by Orlando Magazine.

The Mad Cow Theater has treated audiences in Orlando to classic works as well as some of the best contemporary plays. With a repertoire encompassing both American works and world literature, plays by Chekhov, Williams, Pinter, Shaw, Brecht, Ionesco and Pinter have been performed during the last 12 years.

These plays have been produced by Central Florida's best actors, designers and directors. Working in process that combines in-depth rehearsal with fertile collaboration, the theater company has been the recipient of many prestigious awards such as Arts Innovator of the Year by United Arts of Central Florida and Umbrella Awards at The Orlando International Fringe Festival.

It is not only critics that have embraced the Mad Cow Theater, the public has given the theater a consistent "thumbs up" and ticket sales have increased steadily over the past years.

In addition to presenting works in downtown Orlando, the theater company also offers a touring program aimed a young people, performing original works for students in Florida's elementary schools. Mad Cow maintains an active education department and offers theater classes for young people and adults as well as a summer internship program for high school students and puts on performances in high school drama classes.

What's on the bill right now? You will have to check their website or call them at 407.297.8788 to find out exactly what will be showing when you are in Orlando. I took a peek at the schedule for the summer of 2009 and saw that three plays will be featured: The Matchmaker, I Am My Own Wife and Forbidden Broadway. During the year there are also some special events such as a Christmas program, a cabaret festival and other special performances.

Ticket prices currently range from $15 to $28 and there are discounts for senior citizens. The Theater is located at 105 S. Magnolia Avenue, Orlando, FL 32801. So there you have it, world-class theater awaits you in Orlando, Florida. All you have to do is reserve some time for it on one of your evenings. Do it and you won't be disappointed

Leave No Stone Unturned With a Camel Ride in Ladakh

Have you ever wished to roll on the back of a camel exploring the remotest areas and villages of the Nubra Valley, or alongside Pangong - Tsomoriri Lakes, or the Tegger - Panamic villages? This could be the most remarkable experience of your Ladakh adventure tour. The high altitude mountain desert of Ladakh is simply beautiful, desolate and striking in each perspective. It has a lot of variety and beauty to offer, which can be easily explored by camel rides. Camel safari in Ladakh is the best possible way to wander through the never-ending plateaus, admiring the fluttering prayer flags, ancient monasteries, snow-capped peaks, and lively rivers.

Camels in Ladakh are not the average desert camels. These are double-humped, and are shorter and stouter. Their humps are plump and pliable, which collapse in winter when food is scarce. These double-humped Bactrian camels can carry two to three adults at a time and can travel for miles. These camels take you to the high altitude passes, scenic valleys, and ancient trade routes which connected this Himalayan region to China, Tibet and other places.

Earlier used by traders as pack animals to load spices, fruits, clothes etc., these double humped camels are now used for safaris through the ancient passes and the villages. Short camel rides are also organized through the desert around Leh. Ladakh is known for its unparalleled beauty, and that can be cherished to its best with double humped camel ride. All this will definitely leave an indelible imprint on your mind.

Holidays on a Budget - The Four Latest Easy Access City Breaks

While everyone loves a good holiday, most people do not love how much it costs. However, everyone should be able to plan a holiday on a budget they can afford. One great way to get more out of a holiday budget is to rely on budget flights.

In the past, budget flights were rather limited, with few routes of interest for holiday-seekers. However, in recent years, the budget flight industry has exploded, and now it is possible to find cheap flights to most destinations across Europe. Consider these four latest easy access city breaks to help plan the perfect holiday.

1. Oslo. As the capital of Norway, Oslo has much to offer curious tourists. Oslo is one of Europe's premiere global cities, with numerous attractions of all varieties. Guests may enjoy perusing Frogner Park, which is a short distance from the centre of town and is hailed as the most pleasant park in all of Norway. Other recreational options include museums, shopping, and winter sports opportunities.

2. Lviv. Many people who travel to Lviv liken it Prague with its Hapsburg charm and quaint ambiance. This modern Ukrainian city has much to offer in the way of history and culture, and guests are stunned by the gorgeous sunsets from the High Castle. Lviv has all the benefits of most European wonders only without the crowds that hamper so many other destinations.

3. Palma. As one of the major cities on the Spanish island of Mallorca, Palma is widely visited by tourists looking for a pleasant beach holiday. The area is well developed for tourism, with many resorts and clubs to make a stay convenient and entertaining. In addition to the beautiful beaches, Palma has a lovely historical district that is worth checking out.

4. Hanover. Hanover has been an important city for governmental reasons for many years, but this German city has recently seen an upswing as a tourist destination. This thriving city has many museums and galleries, making it a wonderful stop for the culturally inclined. One must see is the Herrenhausen Gardens, which is highly regarded throughout all of Europe.

While cheap flights certainly make these cities accessible to the modern tourist, finding cheap hotels can make the holiday even more affordable. Interested individuals can peruse online databases to check both for cheap flights and discount hotels, making it easier than ever to plan a stress-free and under-budget holiday.

2007 Real Estate Property Investment Prediction Series

2006 has been an exciting year for real estate speculation in many of the world's emerging nations with a good few pleasing surprises emerging from some of the more established countries in the world as well.

Furthermore, as more people become aware of the attraction of real estate as an investment commodity and as an alternative to pension planning for example, so an increasing number of property investors have been born in 2006.

So, in 2006 profits have been made by many investors and these people have reaped the financial rewards of their efforts - but still, don't we all wish that we could see into the future and be able to second guess governments and policy makers' decisions that could affect the economy of a nation or its overall attraction for a property investor?

What if we'd all had a crystal ball that foretold London winning the 2012 Olympic Games Bid - prior to the decision we could all have bought properties in the run down areas of the city that are now benefiting from millions and millions of pounds worth of regeneration investment and we could have made ourselves property millionaires overnight!

Well, the good news is that the forthcoming 25 part 2007 Real Estate Property Investment Prediction Series will offer property investors and potential real estate speculators insight into the likely 2007 residential and commercial property market movements in Australia, Bahrain, Belize, Bulgaria, Canada, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Dubai, Egypt, Estonia, Ghana, Latvia, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Northern Cyprus, Poland, Romania, Thailand, Turkey and Ukraine.

Each of the single nation focused reports in the 25 part series will cover everything from developments affecting the foreign freehold ownership of real estate in each given country, it will highlight relevant recent, current and future expected or forecast political, economic and social developments likely to affect the attraction of a country's residential and commercial property markets and specific advice will then be given relating to factors likely to create property investment hotspots on a country by country basis.

Finally, each of the 25 reports in the 2007 Real Estate Property Investment Prediction Series to be published throughout December will give speculators, investors and interested readers an overview of the property investment potential of each country meaning that each report is applicable even for an investor at the initial stages of their research into the viability of a given country for their own personal real estate property investment objectives.

Philippine Flights and Travel Tips - 4 Modes of Transport to Go Around in the Philippines

The experience of riding the different modes of transportation on your Philippine flights and travel is already a unique experience worth remembering. For any foreigner, this could be one of the highlights of his trip that he can regale his friends with back home.

Here, we list 4 of the different ways you can move around in a city. These transportations range from your most common taxi to something named after orbiting satellites.

1. Taxi - The easiest, most convenient form of transportation anyone could have in the country. It is comfortable, you get shielded from the dust, heat or rain and it you are very familiar with it.

Another plus with getting a taxi is you get a chance to talk with the driver who could prove to be a very big help in giving you tips on the places and unique characters of the locality. However, just like in any country around the world, there may be some drivers who are out to take advantage of you, so better be careful with your dealings with them.

Economical tip in getting a taxi at the airport: If your Philippine flights and travel is on a tight budget (e.g., you are on a personal trip, not on company expense) don't get a cab from the arrival area in the airport-the taxi driver will charge you a fixed astronomical price regardless of your destination. You can walk to the adjacent departure area, where you can get a cab that just dropped off a departing passenger-they charge they way it is supposed to be: by the meter.

2. Jeepney - this type of transportation is a Philippine icon that started appearing after the American G.I.s left the country with surplus military jeeps. This works like a bus but the passengers are seated facing each other in two long rows running the length of the vehicle.

What is good with this type of transportation that could definitely help you save on your Philippine travel is, unlike the taxi, you pay relatively low fixed price for each destination. You also get to be close to the locals and may strike a polite conversation.

3. Tricycle (motorcycle with a sidecar) - while the jeepney is much cheaper -about as much as 90% less than what you would pay a cab -it is limited to dropping you off along the route. The tricycle is much like a taxi, it picks and drops you off to your destination "door-to-door." Tricycle is much cheaper and it could transport you through alleys and heavily congested streets. This is a motorcycle with a passenger cab attached to it, and it can transport a legal passenger capacity of 6 but in some remote areas, it would be a common sight seeing one with as much as 10 to 12 passengers (on the roof, hanging by the sides and back, etc.)

4. Skylab / habal-habal - if your Philippine travel brings you to remote barrios in the country, there is a good chance that you will see (or even ride!) one of these mode of transport worthy of entry in the Guiness World Record for the highest number of passengers on a single motorcycle. This may even rival the stunts of the acrobats of Cirque du Soleil.

Imagine an ordinary motorcycle with a wooden plank fixed across the seat (right behind the driver) where passengers (about three on each side) ride with their feet dangling on the road. Add another two in front and more behind. It definitely is a spectacle to see. Riding on one of these is like riding a rollercoaster.

Oh No! Something Has Happened In Florida

The Florida housing market has attracted many foreigners to invest their hard earned money in the sunshine state. The British have for a long time favored Florida for buying a second home. Many use their Florida home as a holiday home for friends and family. Some may rent it out on a casual business basis, renting out their Florida home from adverts they have put up at work or in the local shops. Most British buyers dream of owning the home outright and eventually using the house for their retirement.

Fragile Buyers. Despite the attraction of buying in Florida i.e. cheaper prices and a wonderful climate it does not take too much for a British buyer to get cold feet. Real estate agents in 2004 reported a rush of British buyers canceling their sales owing to the hurricanes that hit the region. Reports in 2005 concerning fatalities concerning shark attacks again spark similar worries and may affect the fragile buyer's attitude towards the region.

Why so fragile? It is all about choice available to the European Buyer. The British for example have cheap air fares and short journeys to the most popular places to buy a second home such as France and Spain. Now emerging markets in Turkey, Egypt,Croatia and Bulgaria not only offer cheaper property prices and cheap air fares but sound short term investments. Recent house price rises in Florida are now making the region a long term investment area not one for short term gains.

Bad News Travels Fast. Negative reports about a region will always affect the perspective of those who do not live there. So when bad news hits the sunshine state its no surprise that it affects the minds of those looking to buy overseas.

Skiing Brits Find Eastern Property Promise In Bulgaria

Bulgaria is cementing its lead as an investment property hotspot for skiers and snowboarders looking to own a slice of the slopes. The country's recent accession in the EU, together with the low prices and plentiful property facilitated by the building boom, are leading many British skiers and snowboarders to leapfrog their traditional favourite ski spots in France, Switzerland and Austria, in favour of Bulgaria's more modestly priced mountains.

The boom in property development in Bulgaria's best resorts have meant that brand new ski apartments can be snapped up for less than £30K. These low prices, combined with the preventive costs of getting on to the British property ladder, means that many young buyers are choosing Bulgaria for either investment property, a holiday home or a way of generating some extra income through rental returns.

As Bulgaria's premier ski resort, with the best snow record and longest ski season (mid December to mid may), Bansko has become the most popular location for British property investors to purchase. Previously perceived by some as being a budget ski destination, the $40 million investment in Bansko mean that in terms of size and facilities, the resort is now competing with other more established favourites in Western Europe.

However, it's not just Bansko that's big with the Brits; other prominent ski areas such as Borovetz and Pamporovo are also attracting interest. Borovets is Bulgaria's oldest ski resort which dates back to 1896 and offers pistes up to 2600m above sea level. Pamporovo's claim to fame comes in the form of its weather, and it's said to be the sunniest ski resort in Bulgaria.

There are also around a dozen other less well known ski areas in the country, such as Vitosha, Semkovo and Uzana, which are currently more geared towards local weekend skiers rather than the international snow sports market, but these are likely to grow in size in the coming years. The new development around Razlog is getting property investors excited as it will be combining a ski area with an 18 hole PGA golf course just 4km from Bansko, and is likely to attract a lot of interest from British buyers.

Though other European nationals have showed interest in buying property in Bulgaria, the British are leading the charge with an estimated 40,000 Britons now owning property in the country. And it's not just snow seekers who are looking to buy; the Black Sea beach resorts are also attracting adventurous Brits searching for a Bulgarian property investment with a healthy dose of sun and sea; the most popular places to buy are around the Varna area, in towns such as Kavarna and Albena Beach.

As Bulgaria's economy and infrastructure continues to develop, it's likely that it will grow even more popular with the property buying Brits - after all, when you can buy a plush ski apartment, town penthouse or beach villa in Bulgaria for the same price as a conservatory in Britain, it's not surprising that many are heading to the country in search of eastern property promise.

Top Long Haul Destinations For the Ultimate Holiday

Travellers are increasingly discovering the joys of flying to far away locations and holidaying outside of mainstream Europe. There was once a time when most holiday makers would be perfectly happy in classic European destinations such as France, Spain or even UK resorts such as Blackpool. But recent years have seen a boom in the availability of reasonably priced flights to all kinds of destinations, giving travellers more options when booking their annual break.

Generally better currency exchange rates can found outside of the eurozone and improved access to information about long haul destinations through television, travel books and the internet has meant that holidaymakers now have a thirst for the exotic.

USA & Canada

Of course many holiday makers are likely to settle for where they feel most comfortable. So destinations such as USA, Canada, Australia and the Caribbean are much safer options because they are mostly English-speaking countries and the culture is similar to the United Kingdom. As you would expect, each of these destinations have their own unique features that make them especially exciting, but if you want to jump out of your comfort zone completely it might be better to head to somewhere like the Middle East.

Africa

This region offers lush beaches, ancient landmarks and sites of historical importance as well as plenty of religious and cosmopolitan festivals and events. The biggest draws in the Middle East at the moment are probably the big cities such as Dubai and the resorts of Sharm El Sheikh. However alternative African destinations such as Jordan or Yemen offer a combination of stunning scenery, majestic palaces and age-old temples. Flights to Sharm El Sheikh in particular are very competitive at the moment.

South Africa is also fast becoming a favourite for those looking to travel even further afield. The vibrant atmosphere of Cape Town is infectious and the rest of the country has much to offer animal and nature lovers with national parks, reserves and safari trips. The country is also hosting the 2010 Fifa World Cup which will offer a unique trip of a lifetime for football fans.

Asia

Asia on the other hand offers a truly exotic experience. The food, languages, architecture and people are vastly different to life in the western hemisphere and offers a truly unique long haul holiday. Places you'll want in Asia include the Goa region of India, where the weather is at its best between November and February, Singapore for its complex mixture of the old and the new in its buildings and festivals, Malaysia for its melting pot of Malay, Indian and Chinese elements, and of course the backpackers' favourite, Thailand.

Australia

Australasia is another popular choice for UK holidaymakers, thanks in large part to its amazing sunshine, breathtaking scenery, cosmopolitan cities and vast outback. However New Zealand is experiencing a spike in visits from overseas due to the massive amount of publicity generated by the incredible scenery in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy Cities such as Sydney, Perth and Adelaide are hugely popular but undoubtedly Australia's main draw is its immense natural landscape encompassing rainforests, sandy beaches, deserts and snow-capped mountains.

Cheap Flights

Luckily for travellers, flight costs are coming down all the time and major airlines like British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have announcing the expansion of their long-haul fleets so the choice for travellers is improving all the time. The strength of the pound against currencies such as the Thai baht means that travellers will be able to get by on much. This is backed up by research last year by The Royal Bank of Scotland which that found distant destinations tend to have a much more favourable rate against the British pound than the euro.
