Significant changes in current UK Outbound bookings

I blogged recently about the challenge of resilience for businesses in tourism.

“Business as Usual” is going to get a lot more difficult for tourism – our world is hotting up

ABTA has reported that bookings to safe destinations are surging with year on year

Spain up 27%, Portugal up 32%, Cyprus up 14% and Malta up 15%

ABTA told the Times that “increased global insecurity has led people to head for tried-and-trusted places, principally which they have been to before, mainly in the western Mediterranean”

Meanwhile in Turkey hundreds of hotels are up for sale.
