Britons keep booking holidays to Spain
Wednesday May 7th , 2008
Spain is continuing to attract British holidaymakers despite ongoing economic concerns, experts have revealed.
Online travel agency Freedom Direct said tourists from the UK are continuing to snap up bargain trips to places such as the Spanish Costas.
Commenting on the findings, the firm stated that people are clearly not being put off by travelling abroad by less than favourable exchange rates.
The pound recently slumped to an all-time low against the single European currency, which means that trips to places such as Spain have become more expensive for Britons.
Nick Jackson, spokesperson for Freedom Direct, observed: "Holidays in Spain, the Canary Islands, and the Balearics Islands are the unbeatable favourite for families in the summer time."
He added that the overall number of British holidaymakers is likely to increase again this year.
Although the pound is at a record low against the euro, the Post Office recently revealed that Spain is actually the cheapest country in the eurozone at the moment.
