Grab some winter sun
Now that autumn is upon with winter not far away, we’re already starting to feel the chill at home. While most people will no doubt stay at home and wait out the long, cold times ahead, there are still plenty of winter sun holiday destinations to take advantage of. There are many advantages to taking a break at this time of year, in particular the chance to escape the stresses of the main tourist season, with the added bonus of a cheaper holiday; this applies particularly toall inclusive holidays. Here is a selection of the best winter sun holiday destinations, all of which thomascook.com operate in.
Thailand: This is an extremely popular destination and it is no surprise as last year Thailand attracted 15 million international tourists. This beautiful country has so much to offer, from insane nightlife in the cities to the architectural and historic wonders in the country such as Phanom Rung; it is truly a humbling country. No wonder it is known as the land of a thousand smiles. Thailand can cater for just about any tourist whether it’s backpacking, sun seeking, adventure or just some relaxation you can find it here. However, prices are on the increase in Thailand so it is advisable to go sooner rather than later to make the most of your holiday.
Mexico: Mexico is catching up quickly with its big brother in the north and has seen an explosion in its tourist industry in recent years. Mexico boasts some of the world’s most stunning beaches such as Cancun and Acapulco, great food and an enchanting culture. This country has all the allure of the Caribbean but with probably the richest culture and history in the Americas. From Aztec and Mayan temples to more recent historical monuments it is truly an awe-inspiring place to see.
Egypt: If you want guaranteed sun, you can’t go far wrong with Egypt, this is a country that basks in the sun all year round. Much like the previous two destinations, this country is steeped with history, being home to some of the first centres of civilization and one of the few remaining ancient wonders of the world. With sandy beaches lining almost the entire country and incredible diving spots this is definitely a sun seeker’s paradise.
