Speaking during a tour operator panel at the conference in Braga on Friday (25 November), Sunvil managing director Chris Wright said airfares to Latin America had risen from £300-£400 to the £1,000 region. “That jump has been huge, and that’s if you can get the availability,” he said.
Ashley Toft, chief executive of KE Adventure Travel, said airfares to Nepal had more than doubled from £700 to £1,500-£1,600. “I’m not sure that capacity increases will reign that in and I’m nervous that will continue into the new year," he said.
