Over half of us are planning to take short breaks here in the UK this year, with more than four in ten more likely to holiday in Britain this year than previously. While this is potentially great news for British tourism, new research has revealed some serious knowledge gaps about precisely what is on offer, right here on our doorstep. According to the study by destination marketing agency NewcastleGateshead Initiative, when confronted with an image of Hadrian's Wall (the UK's greatest Roman monument) over half were unaware it was even in Britain. 27% assumed it was in Canada, 16% plumped for Finland and a confused 10% placed the photo in Alaska. Over a third of the polled respondents admitted to putting more into research of foreign tourist destinations than UK hotspots and 29% admitted they are more likely to visit historic landmarks when they go abroad. For those of us keen to holiday at home this year, it's clear we need to do more research to get the most out of our time away.

While British beach donkeys are regulated - no passengers over eight stone, a day off each week and a one hour lunch break - overseas it is a different story. Egypt and Jordan have been recognised by the Brooke, the UK's leading overseas equine welfare charity, as popular tourist destinations that widely use horses and donkeys for tourist trade. With recent ONS statistics showing that the number of Brits travelling to Jordan doubled last year and that nearly half a million British people travelled to Egypt within the first nine months of 2008, it is important that British travellers are aware of the issues concerning the use of working animals abroad. Horses and donkeys are used to taxi tourists across difficult and dangerous terrain to historical landmarks. The animals are often over-worked, under-watered and under-fed, and have the added burden of frequently carrying passengers who are too heavy for them. Haggling is common as credit crunch tourists negotiate rock bottom prices and quibble over the last pound. Owners, whose livelihoods are dependent on these earnings, are often left short changed and are tempted to overwork the animals in their desperation to bring in enough money to feed their family. The Brooke has released video footage and images from popular British tourist destinations including the Temples of Luxor and the Ancient City of Petra, showing that many tourists disregard the welfare of animals whilst they have fun in the sun. The Brooke is calling on all tourists to take action against this anguish by following a simple code when using working horses and donkeys abroad. Key points include: * Match your size with the size of the animal - if you are heavy or tall, think whether a small donkey can really take your weight * Pay a fair price for a ride - bargaining means the animal will have to work harder and longer to bring in an income * One person per animal when riding * The number of people shouldn't exceed the number of wheels when using a carriage horse * Don't be distracted by decorations - check for hidden sores, wounds or prominent bones Kimberly Wells, from the Brooke's Animal Welfare Team, who wrote the code states: "It may seem obvious, but it's being ignored. We see first hand the painful results - exhaustion, injuries, dehydration, heat stress, beatings and wounds - overworked animals suffering for tourism. Tourists can have a hugely positive impact on how communities treat their animals so we are urging them to play their part and work with us to reduce animal suffering across the world. Every tourist has the power to reduce animal affliction - both by following these simple guidelines and also by flagging up concerns to local authorities and tour operators, which will encourage a needed change in poor animal welfare practices." The Brooke's lifesaving work helps ease animal suffering across the developing world while supporting the livelihoods of the owners who depend on their animals to bring in an income.

The poll commissioned by European camping holiday operator Eurocamp questioned 1179 children from all over the UK to find out what they are looking for in their forthcoming holiday for 2009. According to the survey, top on the list of holiday priorities among children aged 6 to 9 was 'Playing Outside'. 'Good beach and sea', 'exploring the local area', 'lots to do nearby' and 'good swimming pool' were also amongst the kids' favourites - completely at odds with their parents' top two choices of 'escaping everyday routine of home' and 'good food and drink'. While today's children are increasingly deprived of the freedom to play outside by worried parents and a lack of public leisure areas - the survey shows that this generation now looks to their holiday to give them the independence and adventure they crave at home. So how do you choose a holiday that's best suited to you and your kids' needs? The answers to this question is revealed in our exclusive Holiday '09 podcast hosted by family travel expert and author, Emma Mahony and her 3 young children Humphrey, Michael and Millie.

The romance and glamour of air travel demanded that travellers cut a stylish figure as they ascended the stairs into the plane that would take them into the wide blue yonder. Most people will tell you that style is forgone in favour of comfort when travelling these days. Nowadays it's considered acceptable to arrive at your long haul destination looking like a sleep ravaged zombie clutching a bag of duty free and lugging your near to bursting suitcase behind you. No more! One man is prepared to stand up to this worrying trend and say enough is enough, and that man is none other than fashionista and stylist to the stars Gok Wan! By following his fabulous 'Style in the Sky' guide, written in partnership with long haul specialist, Air New Zealand, you will learn all you need to know about 1st Class travel tips so that you too can look like the type of air passenger that always turns left. Gok's top tips - for men and women - covers everything from what to wear on the plane, how to look after your skin and ensure you don't arrive at your destination with hair Like Russell Brand or Amy Winehouse! Tips for Her Flying for hours and not looking like you have been is one of the hardest things to do! Here are my essential tips for you ladies: Make-up - You don't need 20kg of make-up so get strict with yourself, empty out that make-up bag and pack just what you need. To achieve a fresh natural looking finish, all you need is: 1.Tinted moisturiser - Keep it as similar to your natural skin tone as possible. Apply sparingly and don't try and get the complete foundation look as you will probably be applying too much! 2. Blusher - Cream blush is better for flights as application is easier (clean hands are better than a brush). Pinks work better on ivory skin tones and for more olive skin tones, try bronzes. 3. Mascara - A girl's best friend and always will be! For a more natural finish, try using a dark brown instead of black. If you are usually heavy handed with the wand and have sometimes been accused of looking like ZZTOP then instead of applying three to four coats, use an eyelash brush after your first application and only apply two layers. 4. Concealer - Match to the lightest natural skin tone on your face (never choose concealer by testing the colour on the back of your hand, your face and hands are totally different colours!) Use around your nose and chin to lighten and also under eyes to make you look fresh faced and healthy! 5. Eye shadow - Neutral shades and light pinks are best for the natural look. Apply lightly to the almond of the eyes to give a youthful finish. AND A FEW TIPS FOR HIM... The key to travelling in style is to plan for your trip in two phases, one on the ground and one in the air. Here are a few pointers for you gorgeous men and boys: 1) Don't be ruffled! - In your hand luggage, pack a really good cotton track top, some sweats and some cashmere socks and change once you get on board. Not only will you be more comfortable, but your original outfit will stay crumple free. 2) Suitably smooth - If you don't have a change of clothes and are wearing a suit, ask a member of cabin crew to hang your jacket in the cabinet, or place it gently in the overhead bins. 3) Feet have a tendency to swell in flight. Remove your shoes for comfort and make sure you take regular walks around the cabin. 4) Hair Style - To avoid looking like Russell Brand on a bad hair day, the trick is not to put product in your hair before the flight, especially on overnight journeys. If you do use products, just before landing nip to the loo and style away. Don't use too much though - there's nothing worse than a chip shop mop! 5) Skin care - Keeping your skin looking good is as important for guys as it is for girls! Keep yours looking healthy and happy by drinking lots of water and using a touch of moisturiser before you arrive. Air New Zealand cabin crew Allys Goyne says, "Brushing your teeth and drinking a glass of water before landing is my top tip to arriving feeling refreshed. There's also nothing worse than the feeling you've dragged your bag halfway across the world, so if you haven't already, invest in a wheelie!"

To achieve a fresh natural looking finish, all you need is: 1.Tinted moisturiser - Keep it as similar to your natural skin tone as possible. Apply sparingly and don't try and get the complete foundation look as you will probably be applying too much! 2. Blusher - Cream blush is better for flights as application is easier (clean hands are better than a brush). Pinks work better on ivory skin tones and for more olive skin tones, try bronzes. 3. Mascara - A girl's best friend and always will be! For a more natural finish, try using a dark brown instead of black. If you are usually heavy handed with the wand and have sometimes been accused of looking like ZZTOP then instead of applying three to four coats, use an eyelash brush after your first application and only apply two layers. 4. Concealer - Match to the lightest natural skin tone on your face (never choose concealer by testing the colour on the back of your hand, your face and hands are totally different colours!) Use around your nose and chin to lighten and also under eyes to make you look fresh faced and healthy! 5. Eye shadow - Neutral shades and light pinks are best for the natural look. Apply lightly to the almond of the eyes to give a youthful finish. AND A FEW TIPS FOR HIM... The key to travelling in style is to plan for your trip in two phases, one on the ground and one in the air. Here are a few pointers for you gorgeous men and boys: 1) Don't be ruffled! - In your hand luggage, pack a really good cotton track top, some sweats and some cashmere socks and change once you get on board. Not only will you be more comfortable, but your original outfit will stay crumple free. 2) Suitably smooth - If you don't have a change of clothes and are wearing a suit, ask a member of cabin crew to hang your jacket in the cabinet, or place it gently in the overhead bins. 3) Feet have a tendency to swell in flight. Remove your shoes for comfort and make sure you take regular walks around the cabin. 4) Hair Style - To avoid looking like Russell Brand on a bad hair day, the trick is not to put product in your hair before the flight, especially on overnight journeys. If you do use products, just before landing nip to the loo and style away. Don't use too much though - there's nothing worse than a chip shop mop! 5) Skin care - Keeping your skin looking good is as important for guys as it is for girls! Keep yours looking healthy and happy by drinking lots of water and using a touch of moisturiser before you arrive. Air New Zealand cabin crew Allys Goyne says, "Brushing your teeth and drinking a glass of water before landing is my top tip to arriving feeling refreshed. There's also nothing worse than the feeling you've dragged your bag halfway across the world, so if you haven't already, invest in a wheelie!"

Leisure & Travel/ The fallout from the banking credit crunch is making would-be homebuyers worried about their chances of getting on the UK property ladder. Despite the cut in the Bank of England base rate to five per cent, the cost of many mortgages appears to be going in the opposite direction.

For the average price of a one bedroomed flat in London (£305,000) you could bag yourself a four bedroomed stone house in Normandy and an alpine ski apartment not far from Grenoble.
