"Marry me (I need a holiday)..."


This follows the news that Thomson and First Choice have predicted the top trends for 2010, and these include:

The rise of the all-inclusive
10 and 11 night holidays
Mid-haul is the new short-haul
More first time cruisers
Getting away from the football during the World Cup and
Getting Married Overseas which they say is "A big trend, already evident from bookings next summer, is couples getting married abroad. Thomson and First Choice have seen bookings rise by 35% in the last year as more and more couples look to get married on the beach, beside a traditional Greek Chapel or in a medieval Italian monastery...


Getting married overseas is a cheaper option than getting married at home, according to a recent survey by Mintel. The survey found that the average cost of a wedding in the UK was £20,000, while overseas it was just £6,500. This is because generally you will have less people to cater for, extras like photographers and flowers tend to be cheaper and the cost of venues tends to be less. On top of that you also have a much better chance of sunshine, if you book with Thomson and First Choice you’ll have a wedding co-ordinator to sort it all out for you, and after the wedding you are already on your honeymoon..."
