BBC Radio 4 - Wonderful Ways to Beat the Recession, Episode 3

Joe Queenan meets the brains behind the businesses bucking the downturn.

The American writer Joe Queenan investigates the virtual holiday - a new idea for travelling abroad in the comfort of your favourite armchair.

If you're thinking of going on holiday - but no longer have the cash - then one of Claire Wade's virtual holidays is definitely for you. Her company Holidays From Home offer you the opportunity to travel to New York or Sydney without chewing up the environment or getting jet lag. Instead you get a series of imaginative props, plus a full seven day timetable as to what to do every day. Has to be heard to be believed. The producer is Miles Warde.
