With the climbing costs of fuel and the increasing strength of the euro, the price of holidays for British travellers is expected to increase next year, by approximately 7 per cent.

Summer holidays for next year are already on sale at a higher price and this trend is expected to increase.

The hike in prices is being further affected by the decreasing disposable incomes in the UK due to the affect of the credit crunch and the rise in living costs, inflation is high and still rising and unemployment is also rising.

Many holiday operators are promoting holidays outside the Eurozone to avoid the effects of the euro, to destinations such as Turkey, which is proving increasingly popular.

This year, British holidaymakers have not been put off booking their summer break, although many are looking to scale down or find a cheaper alternative.  Many are prepared to go into the red rather than cancel their holiday for this year.

However, all this means that it is highly likely that people will be looking to get their cheap holidays and flights this year whilst they can.
