The web is a great place to research and book holidays, but sometimes the sheer volume of choice can be overwhelming and confusing. There is too much information out there, and not enough hard-earned wisdom. That’s why we created 101 Holidays, to provide a unique selection of some of the world’s greatest travel experiences. Each of the holidays on this website has been carefully researched, and individually chosen by two of Britain’s leading travel writers, David Wickers and Mark Hodson. Launched in January 2009, 101 Holidays was named by The Times as one of the year’s 10 Hot Websites.

Why it’s in the Showcase: 101 Holidays uses WordPress as a content management system to show pictures, highlight quotes, categorize vacations by experience, price, and destination, and more.
