Blog Conclusion

Multipurpose dining rooms are popular in 2025 driven by social trends: consumers wanting more from their dining space than its traditional usage of catering for special family occasions, transforming spaces into an all-purpose corner of the home with various uses from dining – working office. Customers require more than just a makeshift space, repurposing their space for office working, watching TV or as a hobby table. Customers are making their homes multifunctional using creativity to maximise space keeping their rooms ready to share with friends and family when hosting gatherings enjoying evenings in dining rooms.  (Oak Furnitureland – 2021)

Why Spain Package Holidays Are Immensely Popular With UK Tourists?

2nd May 2025 | Declan McCarthy | Leave A Comment

Blog Introduction – Introducing Why You Should book Spain All-Inclusive Package Holidays & Voyages in 2025

Are you desperately searching for packages which will keep you the centre of attention when booking Spain holidays, excursions, cruises and enjoy seeing a clear comparison between trendsetter travel companies: On The Beach, Riviera Travel and P&O Cruises?. If your answer to the question is yes, look no further than this voyage blog. (On The Beach Holidays – 2007 – 2025). Tranquil beach holidays are at the heart of tempting articles. Blog aims to inspire, themed around a 2024 ABTA survey where results found 57% of age 45-54 years old booked holidays abroad in 2024.  (Tanzer – 2024, Page 5),

ABTA survey found holidaymakers have placed the spotlight on All-inclusive holidays and consumers require budget-friendly breaks with all holiday planning catered for: 32% of UK tourists booked 2024 all-inclusive holidays. This is compared to traditional full-board options which require planning the holiday yourself without travel agent: booking flights and hotels. For this reason I would recommend booking an all-inclusive holiday for peace of mind catered for by professional travel agents who research deals on your behalf, packaging all amenities together in a single bundle price.  (Tanzer – 2024, Page 5)

Costa Del Sol is known for being “soothing and relaxing” associated with being rich in culture, art, outdoor sports, water sports. (La Manga Club Resort – 2025)

Spanish Package holidays incorporate amenities: “being in a privileged beachfront position” or “being in a stunning beach spot to catch the warm summer sunshine”. Spain welcomed a record-breaking number of visitors totalling 21.8 million and 77% tourists booked a Spain beach holiday during the summer season. (Mintel Group Ltd – 2024)

Spain is internationally-renowned for its world-class beaches and bustling nightlife with holidaymakers enjoying wandering the idyllic Spanish vineyards and I recommend Spain as the destination to impress holidaymakers any day of the year. (The Blonde Abroad – 2025)

Over half of UK holidaymakers said they would pay more to stay in unique accommodation. Airbnb promote unique property staycations, capitalising on a 2025 boom. Quirky makeshift properties are popular. (Mintel Group Ltd – 2024)

Airbnb accommodate memorable experiences, catering for an immersive break which is ideal for sharing on social media platforms. (Airbnb – 2025)

 

Blog Conclusion 

Finally, when planning your Spain package holiday, I would recommend the ideal time to visit Spain is during the Autumn and early winter season. Autumn season “September – November”. The Blonde Abroad’s idea for the perfect time to visit Spain being “September – November” as a result of “there being fewer crowds with cooler weather combined with a world-renowned wine harvest season which is a Spain delicacy in the regions of Rioja, Ribera. Summer season is when holidaymakers soak up the scorching temperatures, enjoying lovely long days travelling up and down Spain’s beautiful 5,000 miles of coastline. (The Blonde Abroad – 2025)
