The latest data from the travel industry shows that British holidaymakers are returning to traditionally popular destinations in the Mediterranean as a result of unrest in the Middle East and financial constraints in the current economic climate. This trend is also being driven by the disappointing summer weather in the UK, which is putting a dampener on the drift towards ‘staycations’.

There has been a sharp increase in last-minute bookings to destinations like Ayia Napa, Malta and the Canaries compared with recent years, indicating that Brits are seeking safe, familiar locations that offer good value for money. There has also been a surge in bookings for adventure holidays and tours.

By contrast, the tourism industry in destinations such as Morocco, Egypt and Tunisia is suffering, with 80% of hotel rooms lying empty and airlines reallocating flights to elsewhere.

2011 started slowly for the British travel sector, with the royal wedding and excellent weather persuading many people to stay at home during the Easter period. In June, nearly half of the UK’s travellers had yet to book their holidays, but in the last few weeks, there has been a major rush with people eager to snap up last minute deals. This is a reflection of the tightened budgets people are working with at the moment – many are waiting as long as possible to get the best cheap holidays on offer.

Whistler is known as a four-season resort, with activities for all the family available all year-round. If you are planning a trip, when should you come?

First we must divide this question into two parts. If you are coming for the legendary skiing on Whistlers 8000+ acres, you have to choose sometime between November and April. Although there is skiing available later than April it is not for serious skiers, due to the combination of marginal snow conditions and limited mechanized uplift. Within this time, you should definitely avoid November, as although occasionally there is good snow, more often than not it is too thin on the ground. So your choice is between the months from December to April. What are the main characteristics of each month?

December is a game of two halves. The early part will find the slopes deserted, great deals on accommodation and restaurants and a lottery with respect to snow. If you have come in a great early snow year, this will be a fabulous time to visit. If not, bring your rock skis and plan to spend some time in Whistlers great spas. Later in December, and especially over Christmas and New Year, you will pay the steepest prices of the season, have trouble getting a table in any of the good restaurants and stand in some brutal line-ups on the Harmony Chair. However you will experience the rush which goes with peak season in a top resort: the buzzing nightlife, the parades, the fireworks and the thrill of First Night in the Village.

January often has the best snowfalls of the year (Jan 2006 was the snowiest month in Whistler for 25 years). It also offers discounted accommodation (you can safely wait to the last minute to get a great deal on a beautiful chalet or condo), and no lift lines, except on weekend powder days, when the locals will crowd the lifts lines at 8.00 to catch the fresh tracks. But it can be cold, and it gets dark early. January is the best month for hard-core skiers.

February and March are more crowded, but more mellow. Avoid Presidents Week in February and Spring Break in March and you could have the best of all worlds: plenty of time for snowfall accumulation to have built up, plenty of buzz in town but easy access to the best tables.

April is mainly for the British market, who come over in droves during their Easter holidays. The peculiarity of the April snow is that there is more of it at the top of the mountain, but less at the bottom, so dont bother to pay the premium for a ski-in, ski-out condo as it may not be possible. Last minute Whistler accommodation discounts are widely available in April.

In the non-skiing season you can pretty much write off the autumn: too cold to swim in the lakes and too much rain. May and June can be fabulous weather-wise; perfect conditions for white-water rafting in the snow run-off and great golfing weather. But you will probably have to leave it to July and August if you are looking for warm water in Whistlers beautiful lakes.

When you travel, you don’t always have the luxury of taking your car with you.  Even if you take a car, it can fail along the way, forcing you to take out a payday loan to get it fixed so you can keep on traveling.  If you plan on renting a car when you travel, then take these tips into mind to save money.

Rent Away from an Airport

If you rent at an airport rental spot, you may end up being charged an “airport” fee. This fee is just a convenience fee that adds nothing to the quality of the rental. By going a little further out, you can get a rental that does not include this fee.

Rent the Smallest Car

If you reserve a car, reserve the smallest car you can get. The reason for this is two-fold. First, if you get to the rental place and their out of your size car, they have to upgrade you for free. Secondly, if you stick with the smaller cars you end up spending less in gas since they typically have better gas mileage.

Look for Coupon Codes

Some rental places will have deals online that will allow you to add a coupon code that will give you a discount on their rates. Do a quick search before reserving a car to see if one is available.

Pay with a Credit Card

Your credit card offers some insurance benefits that allow you to decline extra coverage. Extra insurance coverage costs a lot at a rental company, but is usually free with major credit card companies. Make the rental with a credit card and decline coverage.

Return the Car Where You Rented It

Try to avoid trips that have you drop off the car somewhere else as it can cost more to rent it. If you absolutely have to do more than one city, it can be cheaper to rent a car in each city, rather than renting one in one city and dropping it off in another.
