Travel Packages To Aruba - Villa Holiday or Package Holiday

Have people found a better way to enjoy their holidays costing them a fraction of travel agent prices? Is the tide turning though? Package holidays have been around for years and I am sure everyone will know someone that has went to a travel agent and booked a holiday through them. Most common holiday, the safest. Yes we are talking about the age old Package holiday. Everybody knows someone who has been on one and an awful lot of people have been on one themselves.

For the first time since villa holidays came on the scene more holidaymakers are booking their holiday direct with the owner or through a website that offer villa holidays than with a Travel Agent. Villa Holidays is now becoming the main way to book a holiday.

100 per person; 414 that is over £ 786 saving you £ 196.50 now the total cost of the holiday for 4 people is £ 59 so the total price of the holiday booked direct with the villa owner is £ an average price of a flight to the Costa Blanca is about £. The days of the internet are upon us and even flight companies are offering cheap flights to their customers. Just for the accommodation; 137.5 per person, that is £ 550 but that is for the apartment, 2 weeks at the height of the season in July or August would cost £. Okay now lets look at the pricing for a similar apartment in Costa Blanca. 1200 and that is including flights; if 4 people are going on that holiday that would cost £ 300 per person for an apartment in Cosat Blanca, a travel agent could easily charge about £. Let's say for example you were wanting to go on holiday to Spain. Instead of paying a per person price for your holiday you pay for the villa or apartment as a whole no matter how many people are travelling. You deal directly with the person that owns the property therefore you cut out the middle man, on the other hand if you were to book a villa holiday then you don't have the guarentee of the governing body. Travel Agents charge customers per person for their holidays. You do have the added gusrentee that if anything is wrong with the holiday you have some governing body to complain to and for that peace of mind you pay a premium for this. Most people know this as the safest way to book a holiday because travel agents are ABTA approved and feel more secure booking holidays through a travel agent. Firstly the Package Holiday. Let us have a look at the Pros and Cons of both types of holidays.

" In Summary if they follow these simple rules then they are assured a great holiday. We can put them in touch with the villa owner directly or if they would rather deal with a company we would make the booking for them. Our Company LastMinuteVillaHoliday.co.uk always ensure that our customers are happy before they book the accommodation. If you are still feeling unsure about booking with a certain villa owner contact the website you found it on and speak to them directly. Always make sure you get emailed confirmation of the reservation of the villa or apartment before you send a deposit or the full payment. If you do not feel comfortable with the answers then you do not book the villa or apartment. Before you phone make sure you have a list of questions written down that you want answered, it is better than just talking by email, firstly always speak to the villa owner by telephone. You can save a lot of money by booking a villa or apartment rather than booking with a travel agent but I would advise on following these simple guidelines to make sure you have the guarentees you are looking for. People are wanting to go on holiday and have more money to spend when they are on holiday, we spoke with Peter Hartley the Managing Director of Last Minute Villa Holiday who said " Villa Holidays are a boom at the moment. If you follow a few simple steps you can have the guarentees in writing. Now I hear you cry but you have no guarentees!

I would always go for the one that saved me the most money and allowed me more money to spend on Holiday. So is it a Villa Holiday or a Package Holiday this year.
