New technology means tourists today have a better choice than ever of where to go in the world - and who with. Which means the travel industry has to be constantly evolving to meet today's tourists expectations.

When preparing to go on vacation, remember to pack your manners. No matter where you end up travelling, the locals are going to base a lot on your behaviour, including how they perceive your culture in general, on how you behave.

Spain and her islands are as popular as ever with tourists for summer holidays - but increasingly so for the winter months too.

The new age for travel is well and truly here, and anyone with internet access can book their own holiday. But the traditional package holiday is still going strong, even in 2008.

Europeans have known for years that Spain can be the best country for a family holiday - and now the country is attracting new tourists from beyond Europe for her culture, history and great beaches.

2007 has proved to be a good year for Spanish tourism, and with Majorca doing particularly well, the sister island of Menorca is doing her best not to be overshadowed. With official figures some way off, the general feeling in the hotels and holidays trade is that, like Majorca, an increase in the number of visitors compared to 2006 is likely.

Gone are the days when family members would all live in the same town or village - people are more mobile now than just a couple of decades ago, but the number of airlines offering low cost flights have too, allowing families to visit each other no matter what the distance.

Travel agents have had to adapt fast to an ever changing holidays market - and those that have can provide holiday details to almost any destination in the world.

The Spanish island of Menorca has long been regarded as the quietest of the three islands that make up the Spanish Balearics, but the holiday isle, much favoured by British and other European tourists, is set to steal the limelight for a while at least with the King's Cup for Classic Yachts.

If you're wondering where to go on vacation this summer, the Spanish island of Menorca is sure to delight tourists and could be a good choice.
