European hotels cut prices to compete with non Eurozones

digital_egypt.jpgTravel Weekly reports this week that some hotels in Europe are dropping their prices by ten to fifteen percent this summer. This is to combat the trend towards people travelling to non Euro zones such as Turkey or Egypt because of the weak pound.

Commercial manager for bed bank HotelConnect Ian Ackland told me he is encouraging their hotel partners to bring down prices for later in the year as well.

How are your bookings going for this summer? Do you think hotels should bring down their prices?
