Holiday outside the box

Holiday outside the box

It’s that time of year when we all start to think about the experiences and memories we’d like to make in the months ahead.

It’s that time when daydreams turn into plans and “one day” starts to feel a lot like this year. The question is… will you book the same holiday again, or are you ready for something a little more ‘Outside the Box’?

At Hays Travel, we love the classics; who doesn’t? Beach holidays in Spain, the Canary Islands and Greece will always be firm favourites, and city breaks to Paris, Rome and New York never lose their sparkle. But alongside the tried, tested and loved, there’s a whole world of unforgettable experiences waiting to be discovered. And our award-winning travel experts are here to help you find them.

As the UK’s largest independent travel agent and the nation’s favourite, as voted at the British Travel Awards for high street travel, cruise and foreign exchange, we know how to add that personal touch that turns a great holiday into an unforgettable one. With more choice, better value and endless possibilities for 2026, 2027 and beyond, there’s never been a better time to book outside the box.
