Alternative to Tunisia
In the immediate aftermath of the horror in Tunisia, Joan Molas, the president of the Spanish hoteliers confederation (CEHAT) said that Spain would not be an alternative for tourists. Bulgaria and Turkey would pick up holidaymakers wanting all-inclusive holidays at low prices, while Spain, he went on, cannot and should not become more competitive because of others’ misfortunes.
From what we were reporting last week, starting last Sunday, Sr. Molas’s prediction about Spain as an alternative appeared wide of the mark. On Friday, we looked at fears of overbooking in the Balearics as holidaymakers did indeed look to Spain, and not only because of events in Tunisia; there were the woes in Greece as well. No doubt some of these holidaymakers would have been seeking best-price all-inclusives, but findings from a survey by the Post Office in the UK suggested that all-inclusives don’t always end up being the bargain they might appear: not when guests become bored by the standard of food and drink on offer.
