In the wake of a deep recession, travellers from the UK are carefully weighing up their options when it comes to annual holidays. Not only are industry insiders reporting shorter trips, but they have also taken note of a new trend they call staycationing. A staycation is when a frequent traveller chooses to take a holiday at home rather than venturing overseas.

This trend is especially popular with tourists that traditionally travel great distances on holiday. For example, travel from the UK to North America, one of the top destinations for UK travellers, has fallen off by more than a quarter over the past year. Of course, tourists still travel overseas, but when they do the numbers tell us that they are staying closer to home.

For the third year in a row Spain has been the number one destination for tourists from the UK. The reason for this is simple: the airfare is relatively inexpensive and the accommodations are first rate. One of the most attractive options for travellers over the past year has been Barcelona apartments . (more...)

Though the UK has finally emerged from recession, its effect has been profoundly felt in almost every sector of the economy. This is particularly true when it comes to the travel industry where most insiders predict difficult times ahead. As you might expect, travel is a highly cyclical industry and is tied in for better or worse to the economy. So, when times are good, people tend to travel quite a bit, but when they are bad folks often choose to stay at home.

In fact, recent travel trends have even led to a few new travel neologisms. The most popular and probably overused new term is staycation. This is when people choose to take their annual holidays in their home country rather than heading overseas.

But when people do decide to travel outside of the UK, the numbers tell us that the holidays are not only getting shorter, but also that tourists are far less likely to travel a great distance. For example, popular vacation destinations like Las Vegas and Orlando have experienced a precipitous decline in guests from the UK. However, countries that are located closer to home have actually reported a slight increase in holiday rentals Amsterdam . (more...)

Las Vegas is one of the most popular destinations for international travellers to the US. Each year more than seven million guests from overseas come to experience the excitement and unchecked debauchery of the place they call “Sin City.” Of course, domestic visitors account for the majority of the guests with about thirty-one million tourists coming from the United States per annum.

But the recession has been hard on Vegas, especially when it comes to international arrivals. According to the latest numbers, overseas guests have declined by a quarter. This is bad news for Vegas, since they rely on foreigner travellers, who not only tend to stay longer than domestic guests, but also spend more money.

That is why now may be the perfect time for overseas guests to see Sin City on the cheap. Due to the troubled US economy, airlines and hotels are offering extremely attractive deals on Las Vegas tickets and accommodations. (more...)
