Travel Tips – Shoulder Season is Best
Two of the biggest factors in most people’s holiday decision making is where to go and how much can they afford to spend.
Indeed, the chosen destination will often be dictated by the holiday budget, but it’s crucial to also remember that travel prices fluctuate with the seasons – so a third factor worth considering is also when to go on holiday.
As a general rule of thumb, summer is more expensive for holidays than most other seasons. This is due in part to the fact that summer secures the best weather across Europe and the rest of the world, but it’s also because it’s a time of year when many millions of children are at a loose end when schools close.

The Importance of Travel Insurance
Even the best planned vacations can be interrupted by glitches and emergencies. You lose your luggage. You slip, or catch a bug, and need medical treatment. These not only disrupt your itinerary, but can cost you a lot of money.
That’s where travel insurance (also called travel protection) comes in. Specially designed to address the situations and risks involved in travel, it provides coverage from the moment you leave, to the moment you return to your home.
For example, travel insurance can reimburse you for any baggage or items that you may lose during your trip. This is particularly important if you plan to buy anything of high value, such as local antiques, or are carrying very expensive jewellery or electronic equipment.
