Travelmatch: Family Trips to Holiday Villages Surge in Popularity

LONDON, May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

According to travelmatch.co.uk, Holiday Village hotels are proving very popular this summer thanks to the great facilities they offer for children and adults alike.

Travelmatch, a new travel discovery engine, is reporting a significant surge in the popularity of Holiday Village hotels from First Choice. Spots such as Holiday Village Rhodes ( http://www.travelmatch.co.uk/holidays/detail/holiday-village-rhodes-kolymbia.html) have received a large amount of visits during the past few months as families opt for stress-free luxury holidays.

There are numerous Holiday Villages in spots around the Mediterranean, and customers booking with travelmatch.co.uk can choose to visit the likes of Cyprus, the Red Sea, the Balearic Islands, the Algarve and Turkey (http://www.tourismturkey.org/). The hotels offer a wide variety of activities and amenities suitable for children and adults alike: Holiday Villages are equipped with kids' pools, playgrounds, sports academies, gorgeous restaurants and comfortable rooms.

According to travelmatch.co.uk (http://www.travelmatch.co.uk/), the popularity of these hotels is only increasing as the school holidays near, and the company expects the Holiday Village chain to have its most successful summer yet.

Alex Francis of Travelmatch comments: "Over the past few months we have received a huge number of bookings to Holiday Village hotels around Europe. Speaking with our customers it is clear that the combination of gorgeous locations, great facilities for children and lovely food is exactly what many Brits look for in a holiday destination. We expect this to be a great summer for people heading to Holiday Villages."

Francis continues: "In many ways these hotels are the perfect place for a busy family as the kids can enjoy themselves with a wide variety of activities while parents relax beside the pool. Best of all, you can make all your arrangements through one simple booking - at Travelmatch we believe going abroad should be easy, and this is certainly the case if you choose to visit somewhere like Holiday Village Costa del Sol ( http://www.travelmatch.co.uk/holidays/detail/holiday-village-costa-del-sol-benalmadena.html), or the Holiday Village Algarve."
