  • BRITS PRIORITIES ARE CHANGING but DEMAND for HOLIDAYS HIGHER THAN EVER Submitted By: 10 Yetis PR and Marketing Thursday, 9 July 2009
    BRITS PRIORITIES ARE CHANGING BUT DEMAND FOR HOLIDAYS HIGHER THAN EVER Submitted by: 10 Yetis PR and Marketing Thursday, 9 July 2009 Findings from the UK’s fastest growing independent online travel agent (http://www.sunshine.co.uk) can reveal that despite more than 70% of Brits planning a holiday abroad this year, priorities when deciding which resort to choose are changing; Good hotel reviews, star rating and being close to the beach has been replaced with cheap package holidays with free on-site activities. The current economic climate has led experts to predict that Brits will be holidaying in the UK this summer, but a study commissioned by the UK’s fastest growing independent online travel agent has found that 71% of Brits have either booked a holiday abroad or plan to book a holiday abroad this year. Even though the turbulent economy has not put Brits off jetting away this summer, the study has revealed that consumers’ priorities are changing when it comes to booking their getaway for 2009. In 2008, consumers claimed that the most important element when booking a holiday was good reviews from previous visitors, the hotels star rating and being close to the beach, but they now admit that value for money and free on-site activities are the deciding factors for their 2009 holiday. The study from www.sunshine.co.uk found that in 2008, the Top 5 priorities when searching for a holiday destination were as follows; 1.Good hotel reviews 2.Its star rating 3.Located on/near the beach 4.Value for money 5.Location When the 1,445 British respondents were asked how they decided which resort to choose for their holiday this year, or what their priorities will be for their holiday choice, the results were the following; 1.Value for money 2.Free on-site activities 3.Quiet resort 4.Near the beach 5.Location Clearly, the findings represent how consumer needs have changed as a cheap holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life has now become the British priority when holidaying.
