Monologue: Different Kinds of holidays.

Good afternoon. I've been asked to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the different kinds of holidays.

I am sure you will agree holidays are a very important period during the year. These periods are important for relaxation, they provide us relief of monotony of your daily routine. Besides, vacation are important for our mental and well-being health.

Taking that into account, I am going to evaluate the pros and cons of the different types of vacation.

- Package holidays. They are holidays arranged by a travel company. Their main advantage is that include many services at a reasonable price: meals, accommodation, entertainment, flights and so on are included in the price. Moreover the drawbacks are: you spend most time in the hotel resort and so you can miss the attractions of the place you are visiting,  You haven't freedom to do what you want during your holidays.

- Adventure holidays. It is also an organized holiday in which people do a new and exciting things like a trek or a safari for instance. The main benefit is the excitement you get doing something different than usual. On the contrary they use to be expensive and dependind on the adventure they can be dangerous.

- Activity holidays. In this type you spend your holidays doing a particular activity like painting, walking, singing, and so on. What makes this vacation pleasant is that you are doing something that you like. On the contrary you can not travel with your friends or your family if they don't have the same hobbies as you.

- Beach holidays. The point of these holidays is to travel to coastal destination and spend your time in the beach. Lots of package holidays can be considered beach holidays. The main pros are that you can travel with your family, friend and so on, they are usually cheap and they may be a relaxed vacations. On the other hand you have to choose very well the beach destination because it can be noisy and crowded.

There are other types of vacations: nature watching, hunting, self-catering holiday and so on.

Eventually, my favorite kinds of vacation are city breaks. I love to visit cities like New York, Paris, etc, and go to museums and monuments. But during the last years I've been doing beach holidays, the main cause is that I have two little children and they like the beach.
