Tourists 'either looking for self-catering or all-inclusive breaks'
Travel industry news brought to you by C & M Recruitment, specialists in business travel jobs.The continued difficulties in the financial markets are causing more holidaymakers to either opt for all-inclusive breaks or self-catering holidays, it has been suggested.
Paul Riches, sales and marketing director at Youtravel.com, claimed: "As financial fears continue, people either want to have the most inclusive holiday possible, or to strip everything out completely."
Those choosing a self-catering holiday, it was stated, will be able to have total control over their eating options meaning that they do not waste food, TravelWeekly reports.
Meanwhile, tourists on an all-inclusive trip have already a set price for their break and "can use this as a budgeting tool for the rest of the holiday".
Between March and April, the firm saw bookings for self-catering properties up by 105 per cent in comparison to September and October 2007.
Meanwhile, all-inclusive hotel bookings were up by 70 per cent during the same period of time.
Such news might be of interest to those with jobs in the travel industry.
