Holidaymakers ''to spend the same or more'' on their holidays
Thursday, February 26, 2009New research has found that despite the credit crunch, 78 per cent of travellers from the UK will spend the same amount on their holidays during 2009 as they would have done any other year - and almost a third said they will throw caution to the wind and spend more.
The poll, carried out by Carnival UK, also found that Britons are creatures of habit when it comes to sleeping - more holidaymakers said they missed their beds while abroad than said they missed their family and pets.
Carnival UK chief executive officer, David Dingle said: "There are still plenty of holidaymakers out there planning a holiday for 2009 despite the current economic situation."
Anyone who has trouble sleeping in a strange bed could opt for a holiday in Cuba, which is well-known for its luxurious hotels and beaches.
There are also plenty of tours on offer, for example, the walking trip to visit the old town in Havana, as well as an excursion to see the tobacco plantations.
