Q We like to plan ahead for our extended family summer holiday: my daughter says having it booked gets her through the winter. We are looking at booking an all-inclusive hotel in Tunisia for 2024. Do you think it will be safe?

A Anticipation is a valuable element of planning a holiday, and the further ahead you book the more you benefit. So committing almost a year in advance can be a wise decision. Your choice of destination is also shrewd: Tunisia is a beautiful, fascinating and friendly nation, with excellent beach resorts on the east coast. Personally, I would not holiday there in July or August because of the intense heat: the Met Office says the average daily high in both months is above 34C. But I recognise that some like it hotter than I do.
