Tony Mann, director at Idle Travel, in Bradford, said that while sales remained "tough", the agency had seen a noticeable uptick in sales the past week, booking seven holidays yesterday (Wednesday), while the phone’s "non-stop" this morning.
Mann said while much of the interest had been for safaris, cruises (including a Riviera river cruise) and long-haul destinations like the Maldives next year, the agency’s "bucket and spade trade" to Turkey, Greece and now Portugal was going well too.
