Dismal
UK
Weather!
“The terrible weather over the second bank holiday
weekend was a sharp reminder of how unpredictable the
weather in the
UK
is. Having had a taste of a few days in the
sunshine, consumers weren’t content to stay in and
watch DVDs with the family and they went online in
their droves to snap up some sunshine overseas.”
Reports Paul Furner from “
Travel
Republic
”
The dismal weather on the recent bank holiday in
Britain
boosted holiday sales by more than a third, according
to TravelRepublic.
Traditional short-haul destinations saw
strong increases, with booking levels for
Spain
up 34%.
Paul
Furner also added “A recent report by the
Confederation of British Industry confirmed that the
British public are still keen to book holidays despite
the credit crunch and ongoing financial worries.
Travel was the only consumer services sector to report
growth in the first three months of 2008 which
illustrates just how important our annual break is –
particularly in such a tough economic climate”.
Suggested locations for last minute breaks include
Menorca,
Mallorca
,
Spain
and the
Algarve
.
