Overseas Hotels Slash Prices After Little Bookings
We all realise that the economic crisis has become a lot worse in 2009 and although the travel sector expected to be hit they did not realise that they were going to be hot this bad. Holiday accommodation abroad has been majorly slashed in an attempt to get British tourists revisiting foreign destinations. 2009 has seen a large increase in family holidays, simply because a lot of people are fearing going abroad because of the falling power in the pound.
In my honest opinion this is what probably has led to the UK crash in the first place, British people have been going abroad for years and spending thir money in foreign economies leaving their own to struggle. Now overseas countries are starting to panic because they increased costs to stupid amounts because they knew they could get away with it and now they are rushing to reduce them all because there is a huge shortage in tourist bookings.
We could also see tons of more holiday companies go bust as they fail to sell package holidays which has already seen a 11% reduction this year and is also putting fear into people travelling abroad amid fears that they could be stranded there.
Although peak travel costs have yet to be slashed a huge amount as travel operators are wishing things will pick up, I am sure they are going to fall very soon.What overseas countries are trying to do is kick start there ailing economy, by giving near to nothing free accommodation they are hoping that travellers will spend their money in the cities in restaurants and such. But the entire globe is going to be stuck by the economic downturn and there is no escaping. Finally the countries that will come out most successful will be the ones which have the governments that take the lead and control.
