In it for the Long Haul.

Go further for less than you might think - that's the message from Hays Travel this summer. As the UK's largest independently-owned travel agent, Hays have managed to secure some amazing deals on unforgettable holidays to some of the world's most exciting locations.

Whether you're looking to discover new cultures, take in spectacular scenery or simply relax on a dreamy tropical beach, there's a faraway holiday to suit you. Many of the deals are exclusive to Hays Travel and include scheduled flights with popular airlines like Emirates and Virgin Atlantic.

"With the Euro so strong, long haul holidays often work out better value for money than those closer to home,\" says Emily at Hays, \"In some destinations, accommodation is incredibly inexpensive compared with Europe, meaning many travellers can afford to experience a level of luxury that would be beyond their budget in the Mediterranean, for example."

Travelling further afield also gives you the chance to tick some pretty impressive sights off your list. Hays Travel recently released a special deal on a Cape Town holiday. ...
... The South African city came first in Tripadvisor's 2011 Traveller's Choice Top 25 and it's not difficult to see why: As well as fascinating history, cosmopolitan nightlife and great shopping, holidays in Cape Town offer the chance to go whale-watching, wine tasting and even on safari.

Hays Travel's hand-picked faraway holidays focus on popular destinations and often include flights from regional airports.

"Many of our customers are based in the north east and other areas of the UK. If you're travelling a long way for your holiday, the last thing you want to do is have to trek to London before it's even begun,\" says Emily, \"Where possible, we offer good deals with flights from a selection of regional departure airports."

Indeed, the Cape Town holiday included flights from either Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow, or Birmingham Airports - as well as from London Gatwick.

Hays Travel's huge choice of inspirational destinations includes city breaks to New York and tropical beach escapes to hotspots like Barbados and Thailand. They also offer a selection of twin centre holidays, with recent deals taking in Dubai and the Maldives, Las Vegas and LA and a magnificent Malaysian adventure that took in capital Kuala Lumpur and beach paradise Langkawi.

As well as their exclusive faraway deals, Hays Travel also offer tailor made holidays.

"We can personalise holidays to perfectly suit traveller's needs," says Emily, "Whatever your dream itinerary, we can usually put it together."

Tailor made holidays are a great way of fitting multiple stops into one trip - and perfect for a dream honeymoon. Try a twin centre holiday and combine a city break with a romantic hideaway. Throw package holiday rules out of the window and go away for however many nights you wish - ideal if you're limited to the amount of time you can take off work (or lucky enough to be taking an extended holiday!)

Established for over 30 years, Hays Travel know a thing or two about long haul and luxury holidays.
