The falling value of the pound abroad and credit crunch at home does not mean total gloom and doom for the holiday maker this year. Most travel commentators are now indicating a boom in camping holidays in the UK and caravans look likely to make a comeback this this summer.
Figures from the National Caravan Council reveal a 20 percent rise in camp site bookings for July and August, while trade in caravans is steadily rising. With many people nostalgic for seaside holidays that they remember from their childhood, it is not surprising, given the increasing costs of taking a holiday abroad, that there is now a huge demand for holidays in the UK.
The Solent is a stretch of sea, c.30 mi (50 km) long and between 3/4 to
5 mi (1.2-8 km) wide, separating the Isle of Wight from the mainland of
Britain. On the mainland shore are major ports including Southampton
and Portsmouth.

And now itâ??s official, well according to Thomas Cook it is. With over
30 tour operators and more that 20 airlines failing in 2008, the head
of Thomas Cooke has predicted that up to 15 more British travel
companies will collapse in the first quarter of 2009.
This is being put down to cash flow problems during the leanest
months of the year. â??If companies can survive the next three months
they should be fine, but this period is crucial,â? he said.
The financial crisis is likely to claim more victims so it is
important to get some protection. Some insurers offer Passenger
Protection Insurance, often termed Dynamic Packaging Protection, sold
separately or part of a , require their members to protect their
customerâ??s money in the event of an AITO member going into
liquidation.
Sailing is a participant day out where teamwork of the crew is the key of success corporate days out on the water can give some of the best bonding experiences for the staff and clients of a firm.
Perhaps the best place to conduct such corporate days is in the centre of UK sailing, the Solent. The is a highly refined trade sailing craft and a day spent experiencing the power and complexity of the rig of these sailing barges involves significant amount of communication and participation by all those involved. Thames sailing barges vary in size being between 70 an 120 ft long and they have very large deck areas and a large internal cabin space with 7ft 6 ins headroom, this makes them also ideal for static corporate events. They have significant accommodation often with many berths, ideal should it be expedient to stay overnight. A , the power of the Sailing Barge coupled with the speed of the RIB makes the day one neither the staff or the clients will forget. The resulting corporate benefit though not precisely measurable can be best judged by the enthusiasm that will exude from the participants after the day out.
Riots, civil unrest, civil war maybe! The New Year headlines are full
of commotion in Pakistan and Kenya and even the odd national strike
nearer to home. All are reminders of what can happen unexpectedly on
holiday. What can start as a normal holiday break can quickly
deteriorate leaving holidaymakers isolated, often helpless and in some
cases endangered through no fault of their own.
Bags do go missing, as witnessed during last year’s disastrous opening
of Heathrow’s Terminal 5, but regrettably the high incidence of theft
abroad goes largely unreported.
But it is a growing problem and affects thousands of holidaymakers
abroad each year. Generally when we go abroad, our guard is down and
this is what the professional gangs and pickpockets look out for.
Whilst baggage that is lost, whilst under the control of the
airline, may be attributed to theft, generally this will be marked down
as lost in transit and a claim against the carrier and , High Commission or Consulate who
will be able to issue you with an emergency replacement passport to get
you home.

Condensation in diesels tanks is the most common problem and it is
recommended to avoid any space being taken up with moisture all tanks
are filled for the lay- up periods. As , under
the tank with a drip tray or leave a 10 % clearance space at the top of
the tank to allow for expansion especially in the summer months. If
cruising outside the U.K. in warmer climes you may need to increase the
clearance space mentioned above to prevent spillage due to increased
expansion!
