The Package Holiday Bubble Has Burst, What Is Next? Feb 26
Package Holiday


With the current climate of cancelled holidays and stranded families camping in airport terminals the tide is changing amongst British holiday makers. More and more of us are looking to our homeland to get away from it all on family holidays and weekend breaks. With the staggering scenery and busting historical cities we are a prime location and until recently it only seems to be the millions of foreign tourists that have realised it.

There are many reasons for this change and as with many consumer issues the main one is money. The cheap package holiday bubble has officially burst and it is seen all too clearly on the news coverage of many Brits waiting to be flown home by profiteering airlines immediately inflating their prices when they heard people were in trouble. The cost effective feature of going abroad can turn into a financial nightmare in the blink of an eye.

As the fuel becomes more expensive, more and more tour operators will be going into administration, meaning the surviving companies will be hiking their prices in a bid to maximize profits. This has already been seen with the profiteering that has gone on with the most recent stranded holiday makers and people are looking at sure ways of avoiding this. One is looking into holidays in the UK.

In response to the current climate British resorts and businesses are focussing their efforts on winning back clientele that was lost decades ago. Luxury hotels are one of the tourism sectors that are currently responding to demand and there is no shortage of luxury hotels in the UK. The cheap package deals are often brokered through third party websites and the staggering array of different hotels can be seen.

The UK has a rich heritage in hospitality and the luxury hotels available in every region are an excellent blend of different facilities ranging from contemporary hedonistic pursuits to historical developments built by monarchs. Many holiday makers are weighing up the cost of and risk of flying and staying abroad against the array of luxury breaks available in the UK. It has to be said that many people sacrifice a great deal in the pursuit of climate.

If we take the average cost of a week abroad as 400GBP then compared with deals in UK luxury hotels you are getting a similar cost for a much higher quality hotel with no hassles about flying or getting back without incurring massive expense. There are many beautiful locations across the UK with countless activities and places of interest to occupy you and your family.
