Cold weather means hot business for travel industry


Cold weather means hot business for travel industry: Josh Rubin, the toronto star


Not all are suffereing from the harsh weather southern ontario has had, as airlines and travel agents serving warm and tropical locations are expected to be high in the weeks to come. Allison Wallace, travel agency spokesperson says in cold times they'll see call increase by 50 percent, and at extremly cold times like these, it could double. Ranya Bakhit, communications manager for air Canada says with the expectency of as much as 30 cetimeters, they expect bookings to be up 20 to 30 percent. I believe that Air Canada souldnt expect too big of an increase because of the random weather souther Ontario gets, it could be in the "positives" in a week. Some of the popular spots as of right now are Aruba, Jamacia, and Curacao, says sunquest vacations spokesperson, Kerry Sharpe. It is for sure that canadians looking for that week off have gone up from last year, and seem to be going up in the weeks to come. Do you think this boom in business will continue through the cold weather or stop after a while. Do you think that because so many people are taking vacaations now, business will be down for march break?
