1 . The British people have just discovered a new country. It’s called the UK! More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in their own country rather than travel abroad.

In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays (July-August). After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of Britons leave the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget is the “package holiday”, where the cost of flights and accommodation are offered as one discounted price by travel agents.

In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy. As a result, the Club 18-30 holiday became popular. Young people started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once at their destination, they socialised with other groups of young people and had one long party.

British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don’t always feel they need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economies rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.

In recent years, British hotels in areas such as the English Lake District have seen a large increase in bookings. That rise is mainly owing to the British staying in their own country for their holidays. In addition, for some foreign tourists, the UK is a cheaper place to visit than previously because of changes in the value of the British pound.

The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself.

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, which has beautiful beaches as well as busy and lively city life. Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo (单独) travelers go there. Melbourne is incredibly easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!

Thailand

Thailand is great for solo travelers-perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mentality, which promotes equality among the sexes. Thailand is known for its friendly hospitality, and as a travel hot-spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers. Overall known for being very cheap, especially in the north, it's a good choice if you want to get away on a budget.

Bhutan is one of the most cultural countries in the world. It is also home to the world's highest unclimbed peak，Gangkhar Puensum. The mountain is sacred（神圣的）and entry is only possible on a pre-booked tour，where you are accompanied around by your own personal guide.

You'll never get a chance to feel lonely because there's an abundance of exciting adventures to experience!

Here's a pick of the best in Beijing!

Mutianyu Great Wall

Your trip to Beijing isn't really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World” ，the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride, Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half-day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also, the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated （把….定名为）

a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
Summer Palace

Located in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city's most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.

798 Art Zone

This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.

Located at its foot is Falknästet, a remarkable one-room hotel—with a round bed hanging from the ceiling and panorama（全景）windows offering a front-row sunset view. Works well for wedding nights.

Fabriken Furillen

Fabriken Furillen is a creation of concrete and hardwood in the middle of an old limestone quarry（石灰菜市场）. The buildings reflect the rough industrial setting, yet act as comfortable shelters from it. Besides, this hotel's remote location on the island of Gotland's Furillen peninsula makes for a special stay.

Salt & Sill

Salt & Sill is a hotel close to the sea. Six two-storey houses combine to make a floating hotel steeped in Nordic minimalist design. The hotel is located on the small fishing island of Klädesholmen, which is only a 45-minute drive north of Gothenburg.

Utter Inn

In Lake Mälaren, outside Västerås, floats a lone red cottage. It marks the entrance to Utter Inn, an underwater hotel. Above water you'll find cooking equipment.

9 . A volunteering or gap year trip

Safe, Supported Volunteering and Gap Year Trips for First-Time Travelers

A volunteering or gap year trip is a great opportunity to explore other countries, to help make a difference, and to further a future career. Frontier aims to provide an authentic volunteering experience in many of the world’s most spectacular countries, while making sure that safety, support and accountability are of primary importance. With more than 20 years’ experience in running and supporting volunteering projects worldwide, and with dedicated teams of staff in the UK and the USA, we are able to provide peace of mind for volunteer and their parents, as well as unforgettable experiences.

How does Frontier support its volunteers and their families? We take the safety and security of our volunteers extremely seriously. With this in mind, here are just a few of the policies we follow:

• All field staff trained in health & safety procedures

• We offer a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week, emergency phone line

• Weekly “Situation Report” emails for Frontier group projects, to keep friends and families of volunteers informed of news and developments on our camps.

• Before accepting a volunteer onto a placement, we require them to undergo an interview with one of our travel advisers, to ensure that the volunteer understands the project, and is comfortable with all of the responsibilities required.

Travel Buddies

Volunteers often feel more confident (and their parents more reassured) when travelling with someone from their own county and/ or of their own age. If requested, we will find a placement on which there are volunteers of similar ages and backgrounds. If both parties wish, we can put them in contact with each other so that they can gel lo know each other before leaving, and even arrange to fly out together.
