Boom in travel agencies as people go for first minute

Those who are laying on beaches now bought there holidays at the latest one and a half months ago. Family holidays should have already been planned and bought by now, unless holidaymakers are prepared to go to Bulgaria not Greece and to go in September not July. "In Western Europe people decide about their holiday at the beginning of the year, while in Poland people are doing so earlier and earlier," said Jan Korsak, President of the Polish Chamber of Tourism. The industry also conforms this trend: "In 2004 holidays in January were bought by only 4.1% of internet users. In 2005 this was already 6.02%. Taking into account that internet users often buy last minute holidays, a 50% growth is impressive," siad Dawid Sadulski of Travelplanet.pl, a stock market listed company selling holidays and air tickets.
