Despite troubled times in the finance world and even more troubling times for the travel industry many Britons are simply refusing to let the financial black hole take their summer holidays off them.
This situation has arisen because mainly the lending arrangements of American banks has left both the UK and USA a bit bankrupt, or at least the papers would have us believe over the past two months alone.
The travel industry has suffered for a good part of the past year because fuel costs soared, and whilst they have fallen a couple of pennies for us at the petrol pumps it hasn’t been the same case for airlines buying their gallons and gallons of jet fuel. As a result airlines have either had to cut back on the quantity of flights they operate or be forced to shut down all operations.
But despite this a survey has found that next year none of these changes and obstacles will overcome the Great British tradition of going away for a fortnight on our <a href=”http://www.travelsupermarket.com/c/holidays/”>holidays</a>. 83% of travellers recently surveyed said that they will be going away next summer in 2009 which is forecast to be an even more desperate time apparently.
The headlines are proclaiming the end of our <a href=”http://www.travelsupermarket.com/c/holidays/”>cheap holidays</a> phase and that with fuel surcharges as well as limited flights or close downs like XL holidays last month you can see their point. But an interesting statistic found from the survey is that 30% of travellers have had three or more foreign holidays over the past year.
It’s looking less and less likely that this will be the case for most of the country next year but there are still bargains to be had for those of you who are planning on taking your holidays next year abroad.
You may be best looking into <a href=”http://www.travelsupermarket.com/c/holidays/late-deals/136/”>cheap late deals</a> where you leave the booking until a short time before you plan to leave this is because some people will unfortunately have to cancel their trip and so a seat on a plane and a room in a hotel suddenly become free. With the airlines wanting to cut back on under-occupied flights you’re more likely to get a cheaper holiday now than ever before.
