Just the Flight Survey Reveals Weak Pound Impacts Choice of Travel Destination in 2009
Egypt and Turkey represent excellent value for money.
Douglas, Isle of Man (PRWEB) January 23, 2009 -- Over 40% of those who completed a recent online survey by leading UK online travel agent Just the Flight confirmed that the weak pound will have a significant impact on where people will choose to fly to in 2009.
Destinations outside the Euro zone including Turkey, Egypt, Croatia, as well as enquiries for flights to Canada and other long haul destinations away from the US dollar such as Australia and New Zealand should all prove popular in 2009. The British Isles also featured prominently.
18% cited health or personal circumstances as the main reason for changing their 2009 travel plans. Terrorism and job insecurity also featured in the responses given.
A recent report published by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office suggested that instead of sacrificing their hard-earned holidays, an increasing number of Britons are booking flights to Turkey and Egypt. These destinations represent excellent value for money, with resorts such as Dalaman, Bodrum and Antalya in Turkey and Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt proving particularly popular.
It was interesting to note that 85% of those who responded to the Just the Flight survey intended to book the same or more flights than in 2008, and with many airlines reducing air fares, many travellers are finding that flights are becoming more affordable in 2009.
