With the pound weak against the EURO and the economy in freefall it's no surprise holiday-makers aren't shelling out their hard earned coffers on holidays to France and Spain, which have been worse hit.
If your looking for a cheap family holiday in Europe, chances are you won't find one unless you're looking for a last minute holiday out of season.
With the unusually long summers we're experiencing in the UK, holidays in Britain could work out to be a cheaper holiday and better for the UK tourism industry. Labels: holidays, tourism, travel

Promising news for hotelliers in Manchester. If these figuers are anything to go by 2010 will be a year to remember after all the doom and gloom of the last two years. They saw revenue per available room (revpar) soar by 17.6% in the week ending 26 December 2009, according to hospitality research company STR Global. Revpar grew to £25.09, compared with £21.33 in the equivalent week of 2008. Occupancy increased by 7.8 percentage points to 40.5% while average room rate declined by 5%, to £61.88. Manchester hotels outperformed the regional average, where revpar increased by 2.9% to £22.34 on the back of a 2.7 percentage point increase in occupancy (to 37.7%) and a 4.4% decline in average room rate, to £59.27. In the 28 days to 26 December, revpar in Manchester declined by 0.3% to £48.70 compared with a general decline across the provinces of 1.9%, to £38.08. Not a bad ending to a bleak year for all hotels Manchester.
