Candidates battle it out for dream holiday job

More than 3,000 applicants from across the UK have applied for a dream travel job to spend twelve months holidaying around the world. lowcostholidays.com, the online travel company, has announced the ten finalists who will now begin campaigning for a majority of public votes.

The winner of this public election is guaranteed an annual salary of £20K and a holiday abroad every month for a year as the official lowcostholidays.com real holiday reviewer.

The reviews will include Spain Holidays, covering the Balearic Islands, Holidays to Turkey, Italian cities, tropical destinations such as the Dominican Republic and Egypt Holidays.

The finalists from across the UK include a burlesque model from Scotland, a stand up comedian from London and a recruitment consultant from Essex.
