Foreign travel bookings up as Britons tire of the “staycation”
If holidays are anything to go by, consumer confidence seems to be growing - By Kunal Dutta Sunday, 12 June 2011. Independent Online
Staycationing may be an inelegant description, but it was music to the ears of Britain's beleaguered tourism industry, heralding, as it did, a chorus of ringing cash tills. For the past three years, seaside towns and B&Bs across the country have enjoyed an unexpected revival as cash-strapped Britons shunned their usual foreign holidays.
But no sooner has it been granted a place in the Oxford English Dictionary, than the US-devised marketing buzzword looks set to become a thing of the past: British holidaymakers look set to return to the skies.
Dreary British weather, greater economic confidence and falls in package-holiday prices are contributing to a resurgence in foreign travel. In the first three months of 2011, the number of Britons travelling abroad jumped by 4 per cent to 13.5 million, according to the Office for National Statistics, while flight bookings across every sector are up for the first time this year.
