Get planning your next holiday
View(s):Planning your holiday can be an exciting time; with the promise of a far off beach and lazy days away from the stress of urban living that is hard to resist. Most often we fail to plan our holiday and suffer disappointment with the chosen destination. Giving proper consideration to what you want out of a holiday may help in deciding on the perfect destination. Simple steps to guide you through would be:
1. What do you want from a holiday destination – is it a beach, peace and quiet, culture or action-packed adventure?
2. How far do you want to travel – are you comfortable with taking a long-haul drive or prefer a closer option?
3. What type of climate would you prefer – warm or cold?
4. What is your budget?
For HSBC holidaymakers, the options may spoil them for choice, as with over 40 of the best hotel properties offering the perfect holiday experience, cardholders can choose their favoured holiday hotspot. They can combine their holiday to include a bit of culture, beach and hill country experience with their family and friends, with extended lodging deals valid until 30 October, 2013.
As the South is most likely to be the pick of choice, with its energy and life force, best beaches and a myriad of exciting things to do, cardholders can choose to make their abode at several popular hotels. With HSBC’s Cardholder Dines Free offered at Club Bentota- Bentota, Tree Resort- Bentota and Cocoon Resorts- Induruwa cardholders are benefited of a 50% discount on double rooms.
