Will today's interest rate rise hit travel businesses?

July 5, 2007

Interest rates have risen another quarter percent, adding £16 per month to a £100,000 mortgage repayment.

It’s the fifth rise since last August and some economists warn there could be a further delayed hit to households with fixed-rate mortgages, who won’t feel the pinch until their current mortgage-rate agreement expires.

What do you think the impact will be on the holiday market? Are your customers getting more nervous about spending on their credit cards?
