Used to fly to the Canaries or Portugal 15 - 20 years ago. It was cheaper then and we took UK models. Only had to shoot a set in the morning and one in the late afternoon to make it pay. In fact 3-5 "Five Girl Razzle Romps" would contribute to the over all costs a lot.
Problems with shooting video were many, noise from traffic, builders, people in the next villa, wind, etc were annoying. But we managed to make it pay. ;)
Doing it now and flying in non English speaking models must make it a nightmare. You don't have a clue what's she's like until you pick her up at the airport or pull out a camera.
Simon you missed the major costs, paying models and feeding them.
