Brits Starting to favour long Haul

A growing number of British leisure travellers are choosing to take their holidays in long-haul destinations, according to a newspaper report.

The www.Dailymail.co.uk stated that destinations such as Cape Verde were being promoted more widely by travel companies because of their increasing popularity. Firms in the industry were said to be offering a much wider selection of holidays outside of Europe than they had in the past.

The Daily Mail observed: "The companies' travel programmes for 2008 reflect the increasing popularity of long-haul holidays over the traditional sun, sea and sand of the Mediterranean." Cape Verde was singled out as one of the destinations that firms in the sector were widely marketing, along with some South American countries. The west African archipelago was also recently highlighted as a popular holiday destination by advice website BuyAssociation, partly because of its good climate and easy accessibility.

According to the online portal, these factors have also made it a favourite location among overseas property buyers.
