2014

Here at Holsure we sincerely hope that you had a wonderful Christmas break, and weren't too affected by the storms and floods if you live in the UK.

We hope too that you have a most fantastic 2014 and reach some of the destinations to which you aspire.

We have just heard that Michael Schumacher's condition has improved slightly after his skiing accident and, along with many others, we wish him a full and speedy recovery. Michael was wearing a helmet at the time of his accident and we can only reiterate the need for full safety equipment to be used when taking part in any wintersports activity that requires it. Michael is an advocate of safety both with The Grand Prix Drivers' Association in Motor Sports and in his love of skiing. Always at the forefront of ensuring driver security in the car and on the track, he carried this concern into his other sporting loves - we should follow his example, for ourselves and our family.

A Happy New Year to all our followers and readers, and most certainly to a hero of our time - good luck Michael.

It seems that many British Winter travellers have been conned into paying money to non - existent chalet holders on the basis that the chalets were owned by these fraudsters and by dealing directly with them posing as owners, these chalets offered much cheaper accommodation. 

Consensio Holidays have asked for dozens of listed chalets to be removed from the Internet on various rentals websites and Abta - the Travel Association have commented that "it is a growing problem".

Remember when booking your holidays to make sure that the company is a member of a Travel Association such as Abta and pay by Credit or Debit Card - not by transfer. 

Finally, remember that is something looks too good to be true....well, it probably is...
