#HolsDirect is changing to #BookHolsDirect

#HolsDirect, the Twitter Hour run by Book your Holiday Direct Twitter Hour is getting bigger and changing its name to #BookHolsDirect.  It runs every Monday evening from 7pm to 8pm (UK time) and 8pm to 9pm (in France)

The aim of #BookHolsDirect is to help show everyone the advantage of booking holidays direct with the owner.  In this way both holiday home owners and holidaymakers avoid the booking fees that many online listing sites charge.  Have you seen how much these are?  If not have a read here.
