How to choose Where to go on Holiday in 3 steps, and Supported Holiday Services – Altogether Travel

 

How to choose Where to go on Holiday in 3 steps

Step 1 – your favourite things and activities you enjoy. What might you like to do on holiday? From there you can decide if these interests overlap, and attractions could narrow down a few locations.

Step 2 – how are you feeling? If you were to go tomorrow, would you want to relax and recharge or be busy exploring fun and new things? You then might know if you’d prefer a city location with lots to do, or be away from the hustle and bustle. You could also choose to visit a city outside of peak season with less visitors, or have some chill time between attractions.

Step 3 – time and money. You may decide on a shorter holiday closer to home, to avoid a longer journey and make the most of a weekend or Monday to Friday trip. Or perhaps a week or so away with flights if you have more to spend – you may also want to check out possible travel insurance costs and work out a daily spending budget. However you decide to balance time and money, you should now have arrived at your destination decision or have a ‘where to go next’ list.

Where will you go?

December’s holidays made some festive memories around Christmas, with Blackpool and Edinburgh. The pantos were so much fun, with Sleeping Beauty at The Grand Theatre Blackpool and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre. A weekend break in Fife with car hire included the guys enjoying fish and chips on the coast and the hotel’s pool table. Also visiting the Lille Christmas markets in Place Rihour, plus enjoying local landmarks, shopping and food on a day trip in France.
