Monday October 22nd , 2007

Investors with properties to rent in or near to Italian ski resorts could be able to make a profit this Christmas.

It comes as 2.5 million UK passengers are set to travel to offshore skiing destinations this summer, easyJet reported.

The budget airliner noted that Turin, Italy is a favourite airport destination for Brits to reach the snow en route to the Sauze d'Oulx resort or the piste at Montgenevre, France.

Offshore property owners with rentable holiday homes could be able to take advantage of many Briton's love for the snow, while cheaper airline routes and increased tourism could all investors to increase rates and gain financial returns.

Among the 72 routes to skiing destinations provided by the airliner, four UK airports are providing trips to Venice, which is en route to the Cortina and Arabba resorts of Italy, easyJet reports.

Meanwhile, Kayak.co.uk business development director Annie Wilson told Internet Travel News that after this Britain experienced a wash out this summer, many people are preparing to experience Christmas on foreign shores this year.
