Despite the emergence of AirBnB, there is still much to be said for booking into a hotel knowing that everything will be looked after for you.
At Travel Begins at 40 we understand that we all have differing tastes and criteria for our accommodation, which is why we have reviews and features of a variety of places from the boutique to the luxury five-star. We also endorse the trend towards the end of single use plastic in hotels and resorts and endeavour to support those establishments that have taken the pledge.
Another of our key principles is to promote ethical, sustainable and responsible tourism, as such we highlight those places that are adopting these principles, especially eco-lodges and community-based tourist initiatives and homestays.
In our Special Offers section, we have the most up to date deals from travel companies on trips and stays. We also have a Hotel Booking Portal, where you can book your accommodation at a flick of a switch.
