 Students taking off on their gap year travels are looking to get more than simply a golden glow, it has been claimed.

Many students taking flights to Spain could be doing so in order to learn the language, after a spokesperson for the company revealed that picking up a new language is top on the list of gap-year travellers' priorities.
"Twenty-four per cent hoped this would be a new language, while 11 per cent of respondents said they hoped to learn to cook the cuisine of a new country," she added.

 UK travellers remain more concerned about the price of their Spanish holidays than the impact of their travels on the environment, it has been asserted.
According to the Association of British Travel Agents (Abta), sustainable tourism is viewed by many holidaymakers as "more expensive".
A study by TNS Online Omnibus recently showed that 65 per cent of Brits would not change their travel plans in order to alleviate the environmental impact of their holiday.
"If you ask someone if they are concerned about the environment it is unlikely they will say 'no', [but] from a customers perspective it is price that's driving them," Abta's Sean Tipton commented.
