Increased Demand for Long-Haul Holidays Expected

It looks like there will be an increased demand for long-haul holidays this 2008. A favourable current exchange rate means that there is likely to be an increase in the number of Brits taking long-haul holidays to go in search of sunshine, according to industry research.

The Post Office stated that sterling has gained ground over 2007 in long-haul destinations and has fallen slightly against the Euro. In fact it would appear that despite the economy scares and wall street madness the pound has gone from strength to strength. It’s up against the US dollar, Jamaican dollar, Barbados dollar and South African rand

Plus the Open Skies agreement between the EU and America is predicted to lead to falls in cost of trans-Atlantic flights and increased the number of British fliers heading off to the USA on their long-haul holidays.

Looks like, with everyone planning a jet-setting holiday this year, now would be the perfect time to make the career switch to the travel agent job you always wanted or maybe hop aboard as cabin crew!
