Men and Women Different When it Comes to Holidays

There's more to a holiday than sun, surf and sex; if you are female that is. According to research in America, males and females have significantly different hopes for both how they'll spend their holiday. A survey of 534 students show that female students place greater importance than males on attractive prices and destination image when deciding where to go on holiday. Females also have higher expectations regarding lodging prices, service quality and availability of nice restaurants at their final choice. So what are men looking for in a good holiday ? The availability of partying, alcohol, drugs, and sex of course ! (So think carefully when taking your girlfriend away for a romantic break - Canvey Island will probably not go down too well !)
