Are you planning ahead and starting to think about next year’s holidays? If so then have a look at this before you book anything. Many families and couples alike tend to opt for holidays in Spain, Canaries or the Balearics. Holidays to Spain all offer great beaches, soaring temperatures, a family friendly atmosphere and are only a short flight away. However, as more and more Brits travel here it is increasingly becoming more commercialized and prices are being bumped right up!

This year with the recession hitting us all hard, many people are struggling to afford holidays abroad, and when taking into consideration spending money etc, are coming to the conclusion that they may not be getting away this year or next. There are however ways and means around this if we just open our eyes and look beyond Spain.

We all tend to think travelling to Spain, being such a short flight would be the cheapest option for our family holidays, but that’s not always the case!

I recently travelled to Goa, India and was blown away by the prices! Not only getting there but the cost of living when there. Comparing this holiday to recent years when I have repeatedly travelled to Majorca, completely opened my eyes and now there’s no looking back for me! Goa has everything your average Spanish holiday has and even more, from fantastic beaches to friendly faces to superb local restaurants, and all at a fraction of the cost you would pay when in Spain. Realistically yes families may be put off by the long flight, which is a shame when you are getting such great value for money. With so much culture to see and so many trips to take part in, you can afford to do it all in Goa.

I travelled in April this year and would recommend going this time of year as it’s the end of season therefore is very quiet, very hot and you get the best prices!

With so much to see and do whatever the price range, budget Goa holidays really have got something to offer everyone. I had an unforgettable experience and will be returning as soon as possible, I got a great deal this year and will be looking for the same next year.
