Top Tips for Booking with Confidence this year It’s been a while since many of us have travelled abroad, so we know there is huge pent-up demand for holidays, with lots of people eager to book a well-deserved break.

If you’re dreaming of your next chance to get away but are unsure what steps you need to take, the following advice from ABTA takes you through everything you need to know to book with confidence this year, so that you have a holiday to look forward to.

1. Use the expertise of an ABTA Member to help you plan your trip Our Members are experts at finding the best holiday to suit their customers’ preferences, and at a competitive price. They’ll look after you every step of the way, including doing all the research, giving you the latest advice for your destination and keeping you up-to-date on any restrictions or measures that you need to be aware of.

2. Book a package holiday Booking a package holiday provides the best form of protection for your travel plans, as your holiday will be protected under the Package Travel Regulations. This means you have a right to a replacement holiday or a full refund if your holiday is significantly altered by a change in the situation at your destination.

3. Check the Foreign Office advice for your destination and sign up to the alerts You can keep up to date with Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office travel advice for the country you’re visiting at www.gov.uk/foreign-traveladvice, which includes local rules relating to coronavirus and the latest entry requirements. We recommend signing up to receive country specific email alerts so that any important updates go straight into your inbox.

4. Flexible booking policies are available On top of the existing protections that come with booking a package holiday, many ABTA Members are also offering additional benefits or flexible cancellation and rebooking policies, such as allowing you to change your arrangements free of charge at a later date if needed.

5. Book early for the most choice and best prices There is massive pent-up demand for holidays, so by booking ahead of others you’ll be able to take advantage of the best deals such as free child places or room upgrades and secure the accommodation and resort of your choice.

6. Take out travel insurance Make sure you take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover your specific needs as soon as you book your trip. Many insurance policies now include different types of cover for coronavirus, so read the policy details carefully to ensure it has the level of cover you want. For more advice on travel insurance, visit www.abta.com/ travelinsurance.

7. Make sure you have the documents you need Many destinations require you to have at least six months left on your passport, so check it will be valid for your travel dates and allow plenty of time to renew it if necessary.

You should also apply for any visas you need in plenty of time and visit TravelHealthPro to find the latest travel health advice for your destination.

8. If you’re travelling to Europe, check to see if there are any additional steps you may need to take Now that the UK has left the EU, it’s important to familiarise yourself with the extra steps you may need to take to get ready for your trip. This includes checking you have a valid passport and the right documents for driving or taking your pet abroad. Visit our advice page at www.abta.com/brexit for more information.

9. Plan and pack for a safe journey As your departure date nears, make sure you’re up to date on the latest measures and documentation required for travel, both for your journey and once you arrive in destination. Revisit the FCDO travel advice pages for the country you are visiting and if you have any questions about your holiday, your ABTA Member travel provider will be able to offer you further support and guidance.

10. Look forward to your holiday Having more time to enjoy the excitement of heading off on holiday is one of the most common reasons why people book in advance, so once your trip is booked, you can sit back and look forward to heading off on your much-deserved break.

A Greek island

paradise

With a glorious 137-mile coastline, Rhodes – the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese islands – is a beach lover’s dream. But while its golden sands and striking pebble shores, bathed in sun for some 300 days of the year, are undeniably intoxicating, Rhodes holidays aren’t just about sun, sea and sand. It’s a place that suits history buffs and water sports fanatics just as well as couples or families on sandcastle-building missions.

Rhodes’ medieval old town, where the Byzantines, Greeks and Venetians have all left their mark, is thick with history, and the atmospheric ancient cities of Kamiros and Ialyssos are well worth a visit. Holidays to Rhodes also offer masses of opportunities to get out into nature on an adventure. Hiking trails criss-cross the island, and you can meander along coastal paths, through olive groves and flower-filled meadows to crumbling ancient monasteries.

Head to Rhodes’ interior and soak up the views from the top of its highest mountain, sip wine on a vineyard tour or stroll through a valley filled with butterflies. Once you’re done adventuring, retreat to a traditional taverna or a cool contemporary restaurant and dine on Greek food galore, followed by cocktails in a trendy bar. Bringing together ancient history with the best that nature has to offer, whether you’re a group of pals or a family looking for adventure, Rhodes has something for you.

LINDOS

Historical gem

in Rhodes

With an ancient clifftop acropolis, golden sandy beaches and heavenly cuisine, it’s no wonder Lindos holidays are popular. Set on the east coast of Rhodes, Lindos is a great choice for those who want to explore the island, plus there’s masses to do in the town itself. The acropolis has remnants of Roman, Byzantine and Doric architecture, a Greek Orthodox church, a castle and Hellenistic walls – the stuff that history fans’ dreams are made of.

Meanwhile, the town’s beaches, located in a sandy bay, are ideal for the whole family.

There’s also a fine selection of restaurants, serving Mediterranean seafood at price points to suit every wallet. So whether it’s a cultural hit, lazy time at the beach or great food you’re after, holidays to Lindos are sure to be memorable.
