As we already know we are in the midst of one of the largest credit crisis's in decades, one of the worst affected sectors has been the overseas travel industry and things do not look like they are going to be getting better any time soon.

A huge majority of people are still planning to spend their holiday in the UK, which could lead to a big bout of cheap summer holidays. People are hugely cutting back amid fears that the pound has become incredibly weak compared to other currencies.

But things are not all doom and gloom because All inclusive package holidays have actually taken a huge rise in bookings as people look to lower their costs, especially to countries such as Turkey and Egypt. On the other hand non all inclusive destinations which include Spain and Portugal are suffering a lot, so this summer you could potentially get a great bargain.

Again things are not all bad, because huge amounts of money are being pumped back into the UK economy, with caravan and UK family holidays being booked up in the dozen. Some places have even run out of spaces.

Although prices are currently very low, officials have strictly warned that people are taking a risk by booking late as prices could go up a huge amount.”

So if you are planning to go away this summer I would look at booking it within the next couple of weeks, so that you can effectively keep your costs down, as the economy has the tendency to change in an instant.

The majestic Glencoe in Scotlands West Highlands is a truly dramatic landscape that is unequalled anywhere else in the UK. Recently voted by Accommodation-Talk, a leading travel article and news site as the most spectactular holiday destination in the UK Glencoe is a must see location for those interested in the great outdoors.

Glencoe is home to some of Britains highest and most spectacular mountains as well as a haven for a wealth of diverse and beautiful animals such as Red Deer and the Golden Eagle. Beacuse of its beauty the area has been the setting for many famous films including Highlander and the Harry Potter films.

The area is Britains favourite for mountaineers and ‘ridge walkers’ who flock to the Glen for an experience that cannot be equalled anywhere else in the country. The stereotypical ‘pyramid’ mountain Buchaille Etive Mor stands as a mighty and impressive guard to the head of the Glen and is the peak that sadly killed several experienced climbers at the beginning of 2009 when they were caught up in an avalanche.

Drama in the glen isnt limited to the present. In fact the macabre history of Glencoe is infamous in Scottish history and has been the scene of treachorous murder and tragedy. A small visitor centre is a great place to discover the natural and human history of the area situated in the middle of Glencoe.

Also in the middle of the Glen is possible Britains most fantastic beer garden! The Clachaig Inn is surely in the most remarkable location of any other Inn in the UK and many holiday makers as well as mountaineers use it as their base to explore the area. It is the place in the West Highland for climbers and ridge walkers to stay. Watching the diverse range of explorers, climbers, tourists and nature lovers is a good passtime here!

Glencoe itself is sandwiched at one end by the UK’s highest moor, Rannoch Moor and Glen Etive and to the North the small village of Ballachulish at the head of the beatiful Loch Leven.
