Cheap overseas holidays snapped up as rain continues to pour

The credit crunch and fear of job losses and the promise of a sparkling English summer bread a new class of holiday maker called the staycationers. This flavour of the month traveller who was supposed to stay at home or only travel within the UK was a way of budgeting the holiday..

The British for many years have been the most consistent traveller to European countries however, the numbers travelling abroad for 2008 fell by 9% and by 21% in the first quarter of 2009. Travel agents had already allowed for this downturn but the reduction seen in the first quarter was more than expected with the British deciding to stay in the UK. This was meant to be the year where the Brits would spend it in the UK and break the trend to go abroad as a must.

One thing, which is certain about the English weather, is its unrealiability and all the sounds about what a fantastic summer we could expect is already in ruins. The summer has been nothing short of a disaster with rain and more rain making this one of the wettest summer since records began. Campsites have been turned into lakes with flooding widespread in the south and southwest. Whilst temperatures have been decent there is little fun being sat on the beach underneath a steady drizzle or an almighty downpour.

The terrible weather has predictably meant a surge in overseas bookings for August with cheap holidays especially in Spain being snapped up. Because of this torrent of late bookings travellers from the southeast are advised to book their Gatwick airport parking or Birmingham parking as early as possible to guarantee a space or a room. If travelling from the north car parking spaces and hotel rooms will be quickly taken and so secure your Luton airport hotels with parking as quckly as possible to avoid disappointment.
