European destinations 'should cut prices'
Travel industry news brought to you by C & M Recruitment, specialists in business travel jobs.Holiday destinations on the continent should aim to cut their prices if they wish to continue attracting visitors from the UK, one sector commentator has claimed, in a statement that those working in the travel industry may be in agreement with.
A spokesperson from the Association of Independent Tour Operators said that during a recession and with people travelling less, it was more important that resorts considered letting a holidaymaker stay for 70 or 80 per cent of the original cost, rather than having a vacant room.
However, the representative was still positive about Europe as a getaway favourite.
"Europe will always remain strong and it is always a default destination. It is easy to get to, it's convenient and there is a comfort that you are not that far away from home if needs be," he said.
According to the Post Office Holiday Costs Barometer, at around £42 for ten holiday items - including drinks and meals - Bulgaria's Sunny Beach resort was two and a half times cheaper than Antigua - the most expensive destination surveyed.
