Where to go......

At this time of year many travelers seek respite from the winter weather by venturing on a sun chasing vacation.

But where to go?

So many of the traditional winter hot-spots are in turmoil. Egypt. Tunisia. And now even within the Arab states with Barhain joining the list of scary places to be.

So your "Global Tourism Issues" team has looked at the safest, best bargains for your winter get away and has come up with "The Gambia....."

With current "rave" reviews on "Tripadvisor," The "Gambia Experience" say that "Although when lying on the beach or relaxing by the pool you could be in any tropical destination, it is also easy to experience the local culture and feel as though you’ve truly arrived in Africa.

Travel to rural villages to watch palm-wine tappers, drive through the African bush to hear the monkeys chattering and watch flocks of colourful birds fly overhead; even from the comfort of your hotel you can listen to the drums of local entertainers and watch incredible energetic dancing. For first time visitors to Africa The Gambia is a good introduction as it is English-speaking, flights are less than six hours and the hotels are all fairly close to the airport so transfers are also short."
