This summer Britons are predicted to spend £6 
billion on package holidays. According to a new 
survey, the happiest holiday -makers are those who 
book with small, specialist companies. The survey 
suggests that choosing the right tour company may 
be more important than choosing the right resort or 
hotel. So, how can you make sure you end up with 
the sort of holiday you had in mind? If your budget is 
tight, work out exactly what you can afford. Then, 
find a travel agent who has time to listen to your 
requirements. This can be hard though, as many large 
high street chains set sales targets for heir staff, and 
may even limit the amount of time employees spend 
per customer.
