“Spain will be very good for 2000 because it still offers good value for money. Of the long-haul destinations, I think Mexico will see a big increase in business. Last year it benefited from the problems in the Dominican Republic and people who went to Mexico last year are rebooking.”
Kyle Haughton, head of marketing, First Choice
“The Balearics will do well because they are offering good value for money and the product is improving faster than prices are rising. In long haul, Acapulco is doing surprisingly well, and Florida is also good.”
Seamus Conlon, commercialdirector, Airtours
“Cyprus, Crete and Zante are doing well for 2000 and I think Greece will have a strong year. It has had a good ’99 with only a slight wobble caused by the situation in Kosovo.”
Alan MacLean, product director, Sunworld
“I think there will be a swing towards the Greek islands for us in summer 2000 because we have got more properties there and a dedicated Greece and Turkey brochure coming out.”
Paul Riches, sales and marketingdirector, Cosmos
