Thailand 'is a winter hotspot'

Owners of tourist lodgings in Thailand could be set to receive a high volume of British visitors this winter.

According to the Times, many people from the UK are looking at spending the winter months in a hot and sunny location overseas.

Thailand was flagged up as one ideal destination for this group, as it offers excellent weather conditions at this time of year.

In addition, it was also said to be highly affordable, particularly during the fortnight before Christmas.

"After a dismal summer we're all craving some winter sun," the Times commented.

This suggests that investors who own rental accommodation in hotspots such as Phuket could be set to benefit from higher occupancy rates.

The publication added that people who venture overseas at the right time could stand to save "significant" amounts of money.

Earlier this month, the Times highlighted Thailand as a very popular location among second home buyers from the UK.

Tourists set to flock to Turkey

Owners of rental accommodation in Turkey could be in line to benefit from an influx of British visitors.

New figures from M&S Money have revealed that Turkish lira have been in high demand among consumers in the UK.

The organisation has attributed this development to exchange rates in the rest of Europe, as the euro is currently much stronger than the pound.

As a result, British leisure travellers can get more for their money by travelling outside the eurozone to places which offer more favourable rates.

This trend is likely to be good news for property investors who have invested in Turkish tourist hotspots, as it means demand for rental accommodation is likely to go up.

Fraser Millar, head of travel services at M&S, commented: "As the pound has weakened against the euro, travellers are looking for value-for-money holidays in non-euro resorts."

This comes after the Association of British Travel Agents recently reported a surge in the number of summer bookings for Turkey this year.
