Many people will want the best deals when looking for a holiday or getaway.
With New Year beginning, and the pandemic coming to an end, more people will be looking to get away this year and knock some new travel destinations off their list. Appearing on BBC Breakfast, travel expert Simon Calder has given his best holiday destinations for 2023.
Simon was asked where people can get the best deals on trips abroad and he had two answers for the question. He said: "In Western Europe, it has to be Portugal and in Eastern Europe, Bulgaria - obviously a very popular package holiday destination."

The travel advisor said that three tiny south eastern European countries, Albania, North Macedonia and Montenegro have been tipped by easyJet as up-and-coming holiday destinations. Simon said these holiday spots are growing in popularity because they are "very cheap" with Montenegro and Albania offering beach holidays by the Adriatic for a fraction of the price of holidays to Croatia or Italy.
He said: "North Macedonia is going to be on the holiday map from May because holiday company TUI is putting on flights from Manchester and Gatwick to Lake Ohrid which I have been to, absolutely gorgeous, not proper sea, but extraordinarily good value."
The expert added some information on the best way to book a holiday. He said: "I stress that package holidays are definitely the way to go in terms of consumer protection.”
