LONG HAUL TRAVEL: Go for the long haul in 07 - Cruising and Adventure await!

The holiday market is changing rapidly and nowhere more so than for the older traveller. With time on their hands and money in the bank, more and more over 50s are heading off for exotic destinations and embracing holiday experiences.

The good news is that there is more choice than ever before. Tour operators like Saga Holidays have responded to the wanderlust and thirst for adventure of the over 50s by offering holiday experiences that reflect their changing values and aspirations. Mature travellers now want scuba diving, trekking and wildlife adventures and we'll guide you through some of the destinations available including Borneo, Peru, China, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and South Africa.

Cruising continues to be a popular holiday option for the over 50s and the benefits are clear to see. No waiting at airports, just take your luggage to the portside, hop on board and head off to some spectacular destinations including New Zealand, Galapagos, Egypt and Iceland. As you sail the high seas the level of service and breadth of activities will ensure a luxurious and stress free trip.

So now that Christmas is out of the way and the New Year is in full swing, it's time to shake off the winter cobwebs, and start planning your dream holiday for 2007. Today we bring you a show that will provide you with everything you need to know about getting away from it all this year, whether its a whirlwind city break, two weeks relaxing on a sun kissed beach, adventure holidays or more exotic long-haul destinations. Join the face of the travel industry, Keith Betton for more on both of these holiday experiences
