Poll: Have you booked a summer holiday abroad?

The price of flights has gone up considerably and there have been calls to limit tourism in some destination hotspots.

IT’S OFFICIALLY SUMMER, and with the weather being good here for once – it actually feels like it. 

Airfare prices have gone up, and so has the cost of staying in a hotel or airbnb, Irish site Bonkers.ie has estimated that prices for flights this summer could be on average around 40% more expensive than what they were pre-covid. 

There have been anti-tourism movements in some destination hotspots, like the Canary Islands and Majorca. 

Last weekend, around 10,000 people marched through the capital city of Palma to demand a limit on tourist numbers. 

With all that in mind, are you booked to go away this summer? 


Poll Results:

Yes.  (7137)
No.  (4623)
I'll go abroad after the summer months!  (2045)
I'll go somewhere in Ireland.  (1323)
