11/11/05 - More women than ever leave the world cup behind
Just You, (0800 915 8000, www.justyou.co.uk) the specialist holiday company for single travellers, is predicting record numbers of men will get the peace and quiet they want this June as World Cup fever sweeps the nation and more and more women book holidays abroad to escape.
Mary Gamble, Just You Customer Relations Officer explains, "the feedback I am receiving from our customer service teams confirms the World Cup is already having an effect on booking patterns with more women than ever looking to book holidays abroad in June. Because we specialise in escorted holidays it does give more women the confidence to travel by themselves. We are already aware that more than 20% of our customers are not single and I'm sure that figure will increase because of the World Cup. At least I know my husband won't be the only one glued to the TV for the month!
"Popular European destinations for June even include the host nation, Germany, where we offer a lovely 5-day break exploring the Moselle Valley at £299. Other favourites include Croatia, Northern Cyprus, the stylish Italian resort of Sorrento and Andalucia in Spain.
Overall in 2006, the top destinations for single travel lers are Croatia, Morocco, the Czech Republic, Italy, China, New Zealand and South America."
