This includes the 8,00 jobs they cut and 166 high street travel agency branches. People who want to go on domestic holidays are going to be put off as fuel prices are rising meaning it costs more to travel in your own country and flights are also becoming more expensive as it costs so much money to fill a full tank of fuel on a plane. Inflation has become a massive thing in the recent years meaning the prices of everything is going up however people’s wages are staying the same so they have less things they can spend money on. Because of inflation people’s gas and electric bills, food and rent has gone sky high in price meaning people have less money to spend on leisure. Increased costs have led to hospitality businesses putting up their prices. Due to the increase of gas and electric bills hospitality also gets affected by this especially by the fact that the food prices have risen. The price of holidays to European destinations is expected to rise in 2023 as travel companies face rising energy costs across Europe.]]> 2023-01-26 12:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/2150764/nsef2lggx2cqromo/wish/2457501791 political 2150764 https://padlet.com/2150764/nsef2lggx2cqromo/wish/2457501906  Brexit means exit
From 2023 British visitors will have to register online and pay in advance for visas into specific countries. it’s approximately 7 pounds for a three-year permit.uk tourists are able to bring duty free alcohol and tobacco into the UK from an EU destination.UK passport holders require a visa to work in the EU so now tour operators are employing more EU based staff as resort reps. UK residents will no longer have access to the EUs fast track passport control and customs lanes which is now because of Brexit. Holidays will become more expensive as the queues are longer meaning it takes a lot longer to get through the airport which then results in less people going on holiday. Due to the high prices of holidays UK residents are more likely to book a holiday that is in the United Kingdom which is extremely good for the UK but bad for other countries especially those that rely on tourists for an income of money.
