Popularity of Croatia to give UK airports a much-needed boost
28 April 2009The growing popularity of destinations outside of the costly Eurozone, including Croatia, could help a number of smaller UK airports weather the current economic turbulence, it has been claimed.
While passenger demand on many routes out of the UK has fallen markedly over recent months, as consumers struggle with declining levels of disposable income alongside unfavourable exchange rates, the chief executive of Kent International has argued that destinations such as Croatia could throw both airlines and airports a valuable lifeline this summer.
Speaking on the back of the launch of the first flight of the season from the Kent airport, Matt Clarke explained that Britons are now keen to take an affordable break in countries where the Euro is not used, suggesting that demand for Croatian villa holidays could be higher than ever over the next few months.
He stated that "many eager holidaymakers would be looking for extra value for money for their annual fortnight getaway", with Croatia and Jersey representing places where "the pound will stretch a bit further", according to the website yourthanet.co.uk.
Earlier this month, Forbes magazine named Croatia as one of the cleanest countries to visit in the whole world, pointing out that its popular beaches and spotless all year round.
