Britain's rainy summer boosts winter sun tourism
Budget airline Jet2.com reported a significant increase of tourists to the Canary Islands, as the miserable weather in United Kingdom encouraged more and more Britons to book summer and winter sun holidays.
“The summer has been abysmal in the UK and we have already seen a surge in bookings for package holidays to the sun for the remainder of the summer” said Jet2holidays.com’s general manager, Mandy Round.
“Early bookings figures indicate that there will be a knock-on effect for winter as families who have holidayed in the UK look for cheap winter deals to the sun.”
Among the airline’s deals are week-long breaks to Tenerife from 120 Euro (£79) per person for travel in November. This is based on four people sharing a single bedroom self-catering apartment at the Sand Club Apartments in Golf del Sur, flying from Belfast, Blackpool, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Newcastle.
Jet2.com mentions that Tadcaster, Yorkshire averages only 1.6 hours of sun per day and 8 °C (47 °F) in November, while Tenerife has 7 hours and 24 °C (75 °F) (see Tenerife yearly weather)
