Holidays in Spain and other popular destinations are seen as an essential rather than luxury expenditure, it has been claimed.
Speaking recently, a spokesman for the Association of British Travel Agents (Abta), said that for many families, holidays are part of every day life and will not be sacrificed as a result of the credit crunch.
"We've been going abroad in large numbers since the 1970s and for most people it's something they don't regard as a luxury anymore," he commented.
In addition, he added, holidaymakers have access to some excellent deals on flights and holiday packages.
Sometimes a week in the sun just isn't enough and with more freezing weather expected in the UK, it could be time to take an extended break at La Manga Club in Spain.

One of the reasons holidays in Spain are so popular is the fact that the country has a long-standing reputation as a quality holiday destination, it has been suggested.
Furthermore, the government's plan to double long-haul passenger duty in the future could mean that holidays on the continent are more popular than ever, Homes Worldwide reports.
Commenting on the popularity of Spain as both a property investment and holiday destination, Victor Sague, sales and marketing director for Taylor Woodrow de Espana, said that Spain was likely to remain a must-visit destination.
"Despite the continued competition from newer emerging markets such as the Far East, Spain has and continues to be one of the most popular choices for holidaymakers and those looking to buy a home abroad," he added.
Children can vastly increase their chances of becoming accomplished golf players in the future by taking classes from a young age.

The academy runs courses from Monday to Friday and during school holidays, and what's more, children are taught by professional golfers.
Introductory courses, specifically designed with young players in mind, are also on offer and as well as developing new skills, attending the courses is a fantastic way for children to make new friends.
La Manga club is the ideal destination for children looking to develop their tennis skills.
The resort is home to 28 multi-surface tennis courts and expert tuition is available to youngsters throughout the year.
