Online websites helping people decide on trips to Florida villas?

When it comes to choosing where to stay when booking up holidays, such as to Florida villas, Brits have different techniques to making their minds up.

According to a new study released by sunshine.co.uk, 98 per cent of people will research a destination before splashing the cash on a getaway.

In order to get the insight necessary, 62 per cent of respondents said that they search through review websites.

However, 49 per cent of those on the internet are instead opting to make their decision by looking at comments on social network sites.

Meanwhile, 33 per cent will choose to get advice from their travel agents, while 26 per cent are swayed by word of mouth, perhaps from friends or family.

Chris Brown, co-founder of sunshine.co.uk, noted: "Research is a vital part of booking a holiday. Word of mouth recommendations can often be few and far between, so don't be afraid to do your homework and look at past reviews of resorts and destinations."

A writer at TravelBite.co.uk recommended trips to villas in Florida, as the US state has "all the elements of the quintessential beach break", they advised.
