The Great British Holiday
1/4. Turkey

Award-winning director Patrick Forbes - fresh from probing the genteel nooks and crannies of the National Trust - starts his revelatory voyage into another national obsession; time off work.

The British tourist is fickle, demanding and mean. But in Sunsail's Andy Hancock, it appears we may have met our match. 26-year-old Andy has four months to save a billion-pound business. Bored with package holidays, fed up with the bucket and spade, we Britons are going on activity holidays in record numbers, from white-water rafting to sailing and climbing. Sailing holiday specialist Sunsail have already got the world's largest yacht fleet, now they are ploughing millions into their resorts.

The flagship of this investment programme is Club Phokaia. Its setting is idyllic; a rocky outcrop of Turkey's Aegean coast, but the hotel is rather less beauteous. It is run-down and, in some places, even dangerous. Sunsail have leased it - now they want development manager Andy to transform it into a five-star resort in just five months. Some strong language.

Many years ago when I first went to Marmaris we met a couple on a boat trip who were staying at the Hotel Amos.We went to visit them there one day as is was near the hotel we were staying in.It was a lovely hotel but the guests were told that was the last year Thomson were there because it was being sold to Sunsail.I passed it last May on the way to Icmeler and it didnt look any different to when we had visited.It will be interesting to watch this programme.
