Luxury travel operator Kuoni came up with its latest report that deals with the opinions of British public when it comes to holidays. Based on its results, more than fifty percent of the respondents said that life changing decisions have been made during holidays – which in turn make significant changes in their everyday living.

Kuoni UK Managing Director Joanna Edmunds said they came up with the report in a bid to understand the emotions of holidaymakers and determine its role in making life-changing decisions.

The 24-page long report provides informative results on what people do during the holidays. In one part of the report, about 36 percent of the respondents said that their love lives have significantly changed (positively and negatively) during these days.

Nearly 75 percent of the respondents said that a romantic holiday getaway can make or break their relationships.

Popular fashion designer Giorgio Armani will be launching his first hotel in the world’s tallest building, the Burj Dubai tower, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The launch of the building has taken place on Monday. However, the building’s offices, hotel and flats will be officially completed by March this year.

Dubbed as the Armani Hotel Dubai, this will be the first of a series of resorts and hotels that will be developed by Armani in partnership with Emaar Properties. The hotel will have 160 rooms and suites, spa, nightclub and two restaurants. The hotel will occupy the first eight floors of Burj Dubai including the 38th and 39th level. The 169 story building is measured about 2,600 feet high, about a thousand feet more than Taiwan 101 building, the previous world record holder for the tallest building.

The second Armani hotel will be launched in Milan, Italy later this year. The first Armani resort will be built in Marrakech.

An increase in search for luxury holidays has been noted by an online holiday site recently, specifically for the coming winter months.

The website reported that Egypt topped the list of most preferred holiday destinations for the aforementioned time period. Other top areas include the Balearics and Canary Islands. The reason behind the sudden influx of booking is the weak pound. This has made traveling to European destinations more expensive for patrons.

Patrons are scrambling to avail of the promo rates for the top destinations since the value added tax will be making a grand return early next year which makes traveling at that time noticeably more expensive than ever. However, there are a lot of online sites offering attractive package rates for luxury holidays.

The summer season in the United Kingdom this year did not meet people’s expectation and are now looking forward to some sun in other countries such as Egypt.
