Weak Pound gives boost to UK Tourism
The weak pound means tourists are flocking to UK destinations, according to Steve Short, MD of English tour operator Compass Holidays.
Gone are the days when the exchange rate was bad for UK tourism, with travellers holidaying elsewhere. Now, the weak pound is proving a big incentive, not just for foreign travellers but also UK residents who normally holiday overseas. This is offering a lifeline for tour operators like Compass Holidays, giving them a welcome boost during the recession.
Steve Short, MD of Compass Holidays comments on the recent increase in demand: “The weakness of the pound is having a huge impact on UK tourism. This is great news for us obviously! Our holidays allow people to explore some fantastic and beautiful parts of England, at a very reasonable price. Plus, travellers can relax as we take care of all the details, including hotel bookings, luggage transfers and bike hire.”
This new market is allowing Compass Holidays to hold its own in the current climate. Record sales have been achieved for this point in the year, massively helped by a raft of Irish enquiries for walking and cycling tours. To further stimulate demand, Compass Holidays is offering £100 off all holidays of seven nights or more if booked before the 30th April 2009.
