England loses... but holidays win!

Tuesday, 29th June 2010

England's miserable exit from the world cup is proving great news for the holiday industry! Saddened English fans have decided to cheer themselves up by flocking to the web to book a holiday. LowCostHolidays.com reported a 40% surge in web traffic after Sunday's defeat to Germany and we're also seeing a healthy boost to villa holiday enquiries.

Spanish destinations are a firm favourite with Majorca and Ibiza in LowCostHolidays.com's top 3 hot spots. They are reporting a whopping 60% increase in sales compared to the previous Sunday.

Meanwhile Travel Republic's website crashed completely on Monday after they were caught unawares by bumper traffic levels after the match. They are also reporting Spain as the most popular holiday destination.

We talked about a possible booking surge last week and it's fantastic news to see it coming true. Property owners in Spain will welcome the opportunity to sell their last remaining summer weeks.

If you have late availability, now is the perfect time to get it filled! Advertisers can run an offer any time by logging on to your account. (This is free if you are on the professional package!)
