Soaring fuel bills will mean less disposable income for consumers and potentially put the brakes on holiday spend, although some may well decide a month in the Canaries is cheaper than heating their homes next winter.
Thorne Travel has two shops in Ayrshire. Owner Shona Thorne said rising fuel prices were already an issue for clients. “It’s very much a case of people looking for alternatives and seeing if they can make changes to the holidays they’ve already booked,” she told TTG.
“They’re worried about the spare cash when they get back. The heating will come on shortly and it’ll be horrendous.”
