After a rather depressing year with many people having to tighten their belts in the era of the economic crisis, travel experts bring us good news. They foresee a definite fall in prices of flights and other travel-related expenses. It all has to do with the dollar and the fact that most travel headquarters (at least the financial side) are located in the U.S. As travelling from Europe will be cheaper in 2010, this is the year to book the flight to your dream destination!
More last minutes, less planning
Back in the days when travelling was still a big deal and your summer holiday was the cherry on top of your yearly pie, more than half of all holidays had been booked in January. That is a luxury that current day travel agencies cannot count on any longer. They have to put in great amounts of effort to lure potential customer into their real or virtual shops. And with a lot of people booking their flights online, holidaying has become more and more of a spur of the moment last-minute thing.
Consumer as king
With the rise of the great worlde wide web, more and more people have found the way to book online and scour the internet for the best prices. Online price comparison has become more of a rule than an exception, thereby enpowering the consumer and making it more and more difficult for the travel business to sell a product that does not have a great price-quality ratio. And with prices dropping, British consumers will definitely be on the look-out for the best deals in flights and holidays.
