There are so many beach holidays on the market – from the Maldives to Tenerife you can have a beach holiday anywhere in the world. Many people believe that the term ‘beach holiday’ does not fully describe a holiday experience however. There are even beach holidays in the United Kingdom, but people would not consider these to be beach holidays, in fact they would probably argue that these types of holidays are not the same in anyway. Which is my point exactly, ‘what constitutes a beach holiday and why are such different destinations categorised under the same heading?’
Like many other types of holidays the beach holiday has grown in popularity over the last few years. Now there are hundreds of people looking for a holiday by the sea, so they search for a beach holiday. Like all inclusive and other types of similarly wide sweeping terms the beach holiday is unidentifiable, well apart from the fact that it takes place by the beach.
In the modern day there are so many different types of holiday, I suppose that it is easy to have them all under similarly ambiguous headings. But as the world opens up to the modern traveller there is a definite need to qualify the title of a holiday, after all not every beach holiday is the same. The world is welcoming the holiday, the beach holiday, the all-inclusive holiday, but they all need to be whittled down to a place and a time. The modern holiday needs an identity and soon.
