British holidaymakers determined to holiday abroad

31 July 2009

Fears that British tourists will stay at home this summer rather than venture to popular tourist spots such as Spain and Croatia are unfounded, a prominent travel provider suggests.

PricewaterhouseCoopers recently suggested that the UK tourism industry would suffer a slump in the autumn.

However, this is not a view shared by Thomson and First Choice holidays, which believes that Britons are more determined to go away than ever.

A spokeswoman for the group said: "We believe that there will always be a market for short and mid-haul holidays, as well as longer haul offerings, not only for the great value for money you get, but also for the simple fact that you're not susceptible to the unreliable Great British weather.

"Whatever people are giving up – be it moving house, or a new car – they are not giving up their summer holiday abroad to the sun."

Among the most interesting locations to visit this summer is Zagreb, which is "blossoming into a vibrant and colourful capital city," according to the Los Angeles Times.
