Despite the current economic climate, it seems when it comes to holidays, exotic destinations are still thriving with visitors such as Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia and Thailand.

Trips to such destinations still make cheap holidays and offer a sense of adventure that can only be attained by travelling so far from home. Many holidaymakers however remain unaware of the need to have the right vaccinations and ideally some time before travel, so as last minute holidays hold such attractive prices it is advised that people should protect themselves earlier rather than later.

According to an article in the Daily Mirror by Dr Miriam Stoppard, an alarming one quarter of visitors to Africa, the Middle East and Asia have not had any vaccinations. Her advice was to plan trips outside of Europe a little earlier to ensure vaccinations can be given.

Travellers can check with their pharmacist or GP to find out which destinations need which vaccinations, and even boosters.

If exotic holidays appeal to you and you want to take advantage of the cheap holidays available, then it is important to get all the advice for such places before looking round and then the world can be your oyster.

A recent announcement from the Tunisian tourist board has revealed that they expect an increase in holiday makers to their country following the signing of a new open skies agreement.

The open skies deal is set to open up Tunisian airspace to airlines that fly to America, Europe and Arabia and it is a deal that has been finalised after many years of negotiations, which gives the additional carriers no restrictive policies to airspace.

New plans for an airport to be built at Enfidha are also included in the agreement.

The airport is due to be located between Sousse and Hammamet, and is going to be ready for service towards the end of this year. This is Tunisia’s ninth airport and has a long term capacity of 30 million passengers a year.

Current airlines that do fly to Tunisia include Tunisair and British Airways but this is due to increase shortly.

There are over 700 miles of golden, sandy beaches in Tunisia and it is only 2 ½ hours of flight time from the UK.

Tunisia is located in North Africa, a popular holiday region which includes the destinations of Morocco and Egypt.
