Travel deals for new years

BRITS are booking more holidays to Spain in the past week than in the "history of tourism" according to hoteliers. Toni Mayor, President of the Valencian Hotel Association (HOSBEC) said that the soaring demand was following pent up demand from UK holidaymakers who have missed out on previous holidays due to the pandemic. While he didn't have exact figures, he told local media that the reservations were being made on a "massive scale" to areas in Valencia which includes Benidorm. This is despite the UK government yet to give an official date for when foreign holidays can resume. The announcement, due to be on April 12, is expected to be for the summer with May 17 the earliest possible date, although is more likely to be June 21. Mr Mayor said, due to bookings already rolling in: "We might open on May 1 instead of May 17."

YOUTUBE is launching a PG version of its service so adult's can take more control of what older children watch. The new 'Supervised’ mode should appear in the account options section later this year in over 80 countries. It's aimed at parents of tweens or teens who think their child has outgrown YouTube Kids but don't want them to see the full blown weird world of YouTube just yet. Parents will need to set up the account for their child. The child won't be able to post videos or comments and various content filters can be applied. James Beser, YouTube’s director of product management for kids and family, said on a blogpost: "We’ve heard from parents and older children that tweens and teens have different needs, which weren’t being fully met by our products. "As children grow up, they have insatiable curiosity and need to gain independence and find new ways to learn, create and belong." Supervised accounts will first launch in the beta version of YouTube. … [Read more...] about YouTube adds genius new ‘Supervised’ mode for parents with app-addicted kids and teens

BENIDORM is relaunching their beach "squares" which tourists have to reserve, despite them causing long queues last summer. The scheme was originally launched to allow social distancing at the popular beaches, and is restarting from March 1. Mayor Toni Pérez explained it was an "an extension to the organisation and operation model that we implemented in June 2020 under the ‘Benidorm Beach Safety’ project." While the initial plans will only be in place from March 1 to April 30, due to the busy period with two local holidays, it is likely to be introduced again during the peak season when Brits descend to the beaches. The proposal includes "the subdivision of the sandy areas, with spaces of 16 square metres (4×4 metres) to ensure physical distancing and personal observance of these measures," which is the same as last year's initiative . Sunloungers and umbrella rental services will also be suspended. Mr Pérez said: "The implementation of all these services is one … [Read more...] about Benidorm to restart beach ‘squares’ which tourists have to reserve – despite hour long queues last summer
