With Gordon Brown recently being announced the new prime minister, it’ll be interesting to see what labour’s plans are for the environment, and what further impacts this will have on the travel industry, especially air travel.

I heard this morning that the Bank of England are looking to increase the interest rate once again – I’m not a political or financial person, but I wonder what impact this will have – maybe more consumers will stay at home, especially if the weather is going to be good.

Surely, higher interest rate equals less money to spend on holidays, and that has a major impact on the travel industry, which is recovering from a poor summer, last year, due to the great summer weather and the football world cup in Germany.

Maybe this will mean cheaper holidays, more late deals for travel consumers – I’m speculating, but the increase in interest rates is to curb consumer spending, which cannot be good for an industry, which relies on active travel consumers.

• Reduction in interest rates good news for the travel industry
• Airline industry working together to reduce carbon emissions
• Sample the English Riviera
• When will travel agents learn?
