HOLIDAYS: WHERE SHOULD YOU GO THIS SUMMER ? | 1 Jour 1 Doc | M6

Once again this year, despite economic and political uncertainties, more than half of the French are planning their summer holidays well in advance — between late December and early April — to make the right choice, secure the best deals, and avoid missing out on their dream getaway.
But every year, there’s always a twist that reshuffles the deck.
In recent weeks, it’s been the conflict in Iran.
In Lyon, Philippe Le Fur, who runs France’s largest travel call center — with 80 to 100 employees constantly on the phone advising future tourists — sees it every day.
Destinations such as Dubai, but also Tunisia and even the United States, are suffering, with bookings on the decline.
The French are now looking for shorter journeys, safer destinations, and the reassurance of being able to return home quickly if needed.
As a result, Southern Europe is booming: bookings are up 32% for Greece, and an astonishing 220% for Portugal.
Nearby, another destination is fully benefiting from this shift: Cape Verde, an archipelago of ten islands known for its natural beauty, which is already fully booked by the end of March. Its winning formula? All-inclusive holidays — vacations with no financial surprises. Today, 60% of travelers are opting for these all-inclusive packages.
On Sal Island, at the Melia Tortuga resort, it’s a full-scale rehearsal ahead of the summer season.
Welcoming guests, serving meals, organizing activities and entertainment — there’s no room for mistakes.
Meanwhile, in Hattigny, in eastern France, future activity leaders have just one week to become the best possible hosts.
Learning how to break the ice from day one, mastering Zumba and fitness routines in just a few hours — they have one week to get it right.
Their goal: to give you an unforgettable holiday.
