Is it time for you to take a vacation? You probably don’t need convincing, but if you do, here are 10 great reasons people go on vacation.

1. To relax: sometimes there is nothing better than sitting by a pool or on a beach and reading a good book. Those who do feel instantly relaxed.

2. To take a break – Every once in a while, it’s not that we want a vacation, it’s that we need it. If life is too hectic at home, people often use vacations to get away.

3. Experiencing a new culture: From museums and galleries to rich history and amazing people, new countries offer new cultural experiences and (unless they’re Karl Pilkington) they are thoroughly enjoyed by tourists.

4. For adventure – Traveling is good for the soul and there is no better adventure than one in another country.

5. To do your Christmas shopping: Many people travel abroad in October and November to grab bargains on board before the festive season.

6. To enhance your tan: Sun worshipers are everywhere and while it’s essential that you’re covered in sunscreen, there’s nothing better than coming back from vacation with a nice tan.

7. To exhaust the annual vacation: It’s hard to believe, but some people go on vacation reluctantly. If you have plenty of days to use and don’t want to use them on your couch, a break abroad is just the ticket.

8. To watch a sporting event: From football to athletics, the world (and Europe in particular) has a plethora of sporting events that people flock to see.

9. To visit loved ones: People’s friends and family are now often located all over the world, which means that seeing them requires a flight abroad.

10. For nightlife: There are many European tourist and holiday destinations that offer a wild and eclectic nightlife that draws many crowds.

So if you’re ready for your own vacation, why not look into flights to Menorca or flights to the Netherlands?
