Link: TW journo on the decline of cheap holidays [Guardian]

October 6, 2008

Our chief reporter Juliet Dennis has a piece in the Guardian today:

The game is up - cheap package holidays are set to become more expensive as the travel industry attempts to recover from the failure of the UK's third biggest tour operator XL Leisure Group. This time travel companies' warnings to book early should be heeded

Good stuff for TW Blog's consumer readers. For a more travel industry-focused version, see Edward Robertson's analysis on the 2009 lates market from a month or so back.

Matt:

Interesting point of view. Cheap package holidays could not last forever and only the strongest players will survive in 2009.
