Holidaymaker's handbook : the essential guide to a successful holiday - and what to do if it all goes horribly wrong

Each year around 30 million of us go on holiday and each year over 3 million of us experience some sort of problem - whether its poor quality accomodation, bad health, late flights, theft or lost luggage.

This practical guide helps you make sure your holiday goes as smoothly as possible and provides invaluable advice on what to do if things go wrong.

Pre-travel advice includes information on planning to stay healthy and how to find the right insurance policy.

On-holiday advice tells you how to complain, discuss safety abroad and how to deal with disease and injury.

The post-holiday section includes the law, the role of ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents), and information on Holiday Travel/Watch.
