By: DavidAllen | - Bench is a brand founded in the late 1980's in the UK and very reflective of the Brit Pop scene that occurred back in the 1990's.

- Spanish Holidays Hit A Cold Front
By: Henry Ashworth | - Just how deep the fall in visitor numbers to Spain from other European countries has been revealed by figures showing the number of arrivals at Spain's airports earlier this year - and it hasn't set a good precedent for 2009 as a whole for the Spanish holidays industry.
At first glance the figures for Spanish tourism look impressive - 11.08 million arrivals for January. But it's when it's compared to the same month for 2008 that the figures start to look less good - down nearly 12 ...

- Menorca Holidays Shake, Rafa And Roll
By: Menorca | - Not since the days of Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe has the world of tennis been as exciting as it is today, as Rafa Nadal from Spain's Balearic Islands and Switzerland's Roger Federer make the game watchable to a mass audience again.

- Ibiza Hotel Owners Slash Prices To Attract Recession-wary Tourists
By: Henry Ashworth | - It seems that Brits aren't spending as much time in Ibiza compared to the same time last year. Ibiza hotels experienced lower-than-normal occupancy rates from July to September of 2008 than the previous year. Many Ibiza hotels have dropped rental rates in response. The hope is that dropping rates will lead to less of a loss than not being able to fill rooms at all.
Ibiza is the third largest of the Balearic Islands, located about 80 kilometers off of Spain's coast. Ibiza has a ric ...

- British Couples Cut Wedding Spending
By: Henry Ashworth | - Up until last year, an increasingly important part of a wedding for many British couples had been the stag and hen parties - and with easy credit and unemployment rarely a worry in recent years a party abroad with friends for a few days was all the rage.

- Hotel Prices Cut In Spain
By: Henry Ashworth | - The media seem to warn everyday that there's no money in the economy, that no-one has any money, and if any does have money they certainly aren't spending it.
This is often reported from shopping malls with hundreds of people laden down with shopping bags walking past the journalist.
And so it has been with the travel industry - people aren't booking holidays, and if they are it's not in the Eurozone areas including Spain, but to Turkey, Egypt and Morocco.

Changes to the law in 2001 allowing foreign investors to take the proc ...

- Low Cost Flights To Reach End Of Runway In 2008
