The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) has revealed that there had been a considerable increase in the number people spending the festive season abroad particularly Italy this year and the country awaits for the arrival of Many winter sports fans this Christmas.
Sean Tipton, spokesperson for the organization, said the country offers plenty of good ski resorts, thanks to Italy's mountainous geography and due to the number of cheap deals currently being offered by holiday firms.
Skiing is popular in Italy and a fairly commonplace activity. The best skiing and winter sports facilities are found in Italy's northern, Alpine regions. The southern region of Italy also offers a few winter sports options. These regions are well-served by budget flights from the UK. A large proportion of Italians, besides their month-long summer holiday, will take a 'settimana bianca' (a week in the white snow) and spend a week skiing in the winter.
Sean Tipton also said that the torrential downpours that hit the UK last year provoked a huge rush for last-minute breaks. ABTA also revealed that many people try to prevail over the post-Christmas blues by booking their summer holiday. As a result, overseas property investors are increasingly buying rental accommodation in Italian ski resorts and Italy is becoming more popular with buyers who wish to cash in on the popularity of winter sports. Ski chalets are in particularly high demand between January and March
The organization stated that a record number of people from the UK are leaving abroad to spend the festive season. Research by Ebookers.com has revealed that nearly one in four of those spending Christmas abroad are doing so for the first time.
