Holidays as the Rand Tumbles! 16 April 2008 In this update:
Introduction
Places to go: Exotic Bali MauritiusThailand Mozambique Namibia South America Introduction As higher interest rates, food, petrol & electricity prices connive to give consumers economic nausea it is the outbound travel industry that is challenged to offer holiday solutions to the stressed individual looking for a desirable holiday that will offer a worthwhile return on his holiday investment. A 7 night package to an exotic destination that may have cost under R10000 last year is now hard to find, even a 3 star resort in Mauritius are in excess of R12000 for a pay for 6 stay for 7 night package. |

| Exotic Bali, the original island paradise! Remember those outrageously low packages in the nineties when Bali was the flavour of the month and South Africans were flocking there in their droves. Well Bali is back and even better! If you are looking to do more than just laze on the beach then visit Bali’s interior region, where you can visit remote villages and attend a local festival procession. Continue to Ubud, renowned for art galleries, cafes, shops, secret walkways surrounded by traditional Balinese villages and lush rice fields. Enjoy river rafting, mountain biking, cooking classes, shopping tours or visit temples, villages and markets = so much to see so little time! |

| Mauritius Mauritius is always on most South Africans wish list for a relaxed hassle-free holiday….it’s a short flight to one of many great resorts, no visas, no malaria tablets and the friendliest of people who have mastered the art of leisure tourism. Troux au Biches is one of the legendary grande dames of the island – I was there on honeymoon a long, long time ago, Brigitte Bardot happen to be staying there at the same time as were some famous UK politicians, so it had established a reputation way back then in the mid seventies. Since then I have visited several times and the location always takes my breath away its laid back sophistication is the draw card for many of its regulars. The resort was to be closed for a refurbishment but that has been delayed until after the 2008 festive season and Beachcomber are offering a never to be repeated offer valid from 1 May to 30 June 2008. You won’t be disappointed make that booking enquiry now before its too late! |

| Thailand To get the best return on your hard earned, receding, rand one must obviously go to destinations which have a healthier foreign exchange rate. That is Thailand where you get about 3.7 Baht (BHT) to the Rand (1 ZAR) Shop up a typhoon with ‘one night in Bangkok – where the worlds your oyster’! Make sure you visit the colourful floating market of Damnernsaduak. Thereafter hit one or several of the laid-back exotic islands, such as Koh Samui, Krabi. Phi Phi, Koh Lanta or popular Phuket for a bit of R&R during the day and fun entertainment in the evening. You won’t be disappointed. |

| Mozambique Flamingo Bay Lodge is built on wooden stilts in the crystal clear, azure waters of the tidal bay of Inhambane, Mozambique. This eco paradise is home to flocks of flamingoes, elaborate mangrove waterways and the very rare Dugong. Boasting some of the most spectacular coral reefs in the world Flamingo Bay offers the perfect experience for visitors and honeymooners in particular. The lodge is unique, the only one of it’s kind in Africa. Because of its exclusivity and undisturbed eco-friendly, peaceful and pristine setting children under the age of 12 years are not allowed to stay at the lodge.
