Simon Altham, managing director of Wyndham Vacation Rentals UK, claims demand for holidays in the UK has remained strong despite the political uncertainty caused by fallout from the general election.
Bookings for self-catering specialist Hoseasons were up 20% last week compared to the same time last year, with bookings since the election up 37% and sales through third parties, including agents, up 42%.
Altham insists that the hung parliament has done little to dampen people’s enthusiasm for a summer getaway.
He said: “Trading was excellent in the run-up to the election, and the weekend was no different.
