Holidays leave service companies smiling

It's not a particularly good period for some, however, for the services industry the result is quite the opposite. According to Jacek Wisniewski, an analyst from Raiffeisen Bank, during these public holidays people consume more and spend more. Indeed, according to polls conducted by Rzeczpospolita, 23% Poles plan to go away during the long weekend, while 10% hesitate and condition their plans upon the weather. Many companies such as law firms will be open, but most of their workers will take days off. It is naturally an excellent period for travel agencies and carriers. Andrzej Glapiak, from the Internet portal easygo.pl says his company has sold twice as many trips as last year, with most Poles who decided to spend the long weekend abroad choosing Egypt, Tunesia and Turkey. Jakub Mielniczak from the press office of PLL LOT said that they sold every last ticket flights out of Poland. Oil stations are also expected to increase their revenues.
