Brits look abroad after terrible English summer

The fall of the pound against the euro, the increasing cost of a holiday abroad, more security at the airport, recession and concerns over employment and the promise of a good summer led to many holidaymakers declaring their intention to holiday in this country in an attempt to cut down on costs. Greece and Spain were predicted to be hit the worst by the stay at home Brit.
Sounds fantastic and the UK travel industry recorded record numbers holidaying in this country with hotels fully booked, camp sites busy and the roads full of holidaymakers making their journey to the seaside destinations throughout the country. Everything in the Uk travel industry seemed to be booming with the Brits swapping sangria and paella for Cornish pasties, beer and cider.

Sadly for the tourist board, hotels, seaside businesses and holiday camps the weather hasn't been kind with the wettest summer on record. Many holidays have been totally desolated by the continuous downpours seen on an almost a daily basis. The stay at home Brits had made the this decision to cutkeep down costs but for most this has turned out to be a false economy having to spend more than originally intended trying to entertain the family.

Bad weather drives stay at home Brits to look for cheap holidays abroad as bad weather looks set to continue. Late bookings for August have increased considerabaly as Brits seek guaranteed sun. There are still many cheap holidays around and notwithstanding the economic conditions travellers aren't prepared to risk a holiday wash out. With so many late bookings travellers looking to travel to the airport by car need to book Gatwick airport car parking, Heathrow airport hotels and Manchester airport car parking as quickly as possible because as space becomes booked the price at all car parks and hotels will rise.
