Annual Travel Insurance
22 January 2007 Britons forgo skiing for Oz
Britons are skipping the skiing possibilities available this winter and instead opting to head to the sun in Australia, an annual travel insurance provider has reported.
Figures from Barclays Travel Insurance reveal that Sydney saw a 25 per cent increase in British visitors, while Melbourne was host to an additional 140 per cent in tourists from the UK.
Mark Till, marketing director at Barclays Insurance, said; "Flights are getting cheaper and Brits are prepared to trek further for the chance of some proper winter sunshine."
He added that the number of British visitors to Australia was boosted by the recent Ashes cricket tournament played in the country, while forecasts of poor snow had discouraged some from their usual skiing haunts.
multi trip insurance provider Halifax reported last year that 52 per cent of Britons heading abroad at winter were opting to travel to destinations offering sunny weather.
