Is Cuba really the country that we think it has changed in to?

by admin on Jan.02, 2010, under Uncategorized

Everyone had been lulled into a false sense of security that Cuba slowly became a freer and holiday like country. The Cuban police need to be careful what they do now, recently they have made a massive slip up.

Cuba is showing us once again how much they are prepared to stop the general public speaking about them, by locating a Blogger and attacking her on Monday! A Blogger called Yoani, whom is a very influential Blogger in the Internet was beaten quite badly earlier this week. Cuban police quite often patrol the streets in plain clothes and after they had spotted her, attacked her and two other friends.

The Cuban government has only recently opened its arms to tourists and has not always accepted visitors. Now that Tourism is one of Cuba’s biggest money spinners, incidents like these can’t go unwatched, and especially with someone influential on the Internet.

Cuba is famous for keeping freedom of speech on a tight leash and preventing those that want to be outspoken by detaining them. Attacking an Internet Blogger that is quite established in the Internet world, is probably one of the worst possible ideas, surely speaking to her about the issue is better off, this won’t look good for Cuba at all. Not to mention that she can spread her message to the entire world after it has happened.

Holidays have been damaged by the recession in the past couple of years, but now they are returning on the increase, Cuba has to get these holidays or lose money and income, so what do you say would you like to go on a Cuba holiday, or maybe Maldives holidays, or different Caribbean holidays sound like a better idea this year. Recently I travelled on Sri Lanka holidays, and that’s not exactly a quite place, but I would prefer it to Cuba at the present time.

Why are all holidays for Christmas booked in September and October, but no later!

by admin on Nov.19, 2009, under Uncategorized

Have Christmas holidays already started to drop in bookings? These Christmas holidays are no longer as easy to book near Christmas as they have been in past years. Christmas time for the holiday’s district, sales reach a peak in September and October, then fall dramatically in November.

So what is the reason for these dramatic falls in holiday searches and bookings? If you want to try and get the Christmas holiday that you want, you should try and book in advance. Booking a Christmas holiday should take place a good few months before the 25th of December. Many don’t want to book holidays close to Christmas because it can be very stressful even just around Christmas time. Having to pile on the stress of booking a holiday just before Christmas can be annoying even for the most organised of people.

So the best option is to look at these holidays around September and the latest October, then to just forget about it. Not only are these holidays difficult for someone to find, but they are very popular and get booked fast. Cuba holidays or Egypt holidays are very difficult to arrange towards Christmas time. We all know that it isn’t easy to get the holiday you want around Christmas, because people book these holidays fast and early.

Barbados and St Lucia have also been popular this year, people have been trying to book holidays to these places in September, only to find they are all booked up. There are only a few select places around where you can still find holidays to Exotic and luxury locations still available. Many tour operators have had to cancel holidays that they have been offering, because they are already sold out.

Hopefully you have your Christmas holidays already booked, otherwise it could be very difficult to get one now, especially seeing as we are getting so close to the recession, and not to mention the deals were so good.
