Introduction

Travel Counsellors want you to have an enjoyable holiday but please remember that when you are in a foreign country you should exercise more care than you do at home. Part of the enjoyment of travelling is to experience different ways of life and different cultures. It is important to be aware that transport and holiday accommodation standards differ greatly throughout the world, and may not be to recognised UK and European standards. So to help you prepare for your holiday, we have put together some tips and information which we hope that you can take the time to read and will find useful. Have a fantastic trip!
