UK holidaymakers are planning to travel further afield this winter to destinations such as Dubai, Hong Kong and The Caribbean.

Longer haul destinations are favoured due to the poor exchange rate for many European resorts, giving a wider choice for UK holidaymakers to try somewhere new and get better value for money.

Holidays-Direct believe researching holiday destinations before travelling is a great way to discover some of the culture and language as well as local values of countries where UK tourists are first timers.

Holidays-Direct also offer; Cruise holidays, Ski holidays and a great choice of City Break destinations.
