Interesting article. Thanks for posting it.

where travelers from the United Kingdom account for about a third of all international visitors.

I find this amazing considering the size of your country. Oh, it's good to be loved! :p

Deb - very interesting article. The figures showing the UK visitors in the demographic down 13% was of interest particularly as Virgin are saying that their numbers for the rest of the year and next year are already back up to where they were before 9-11.

Perhaps our economy - or uncertainty of it - over here means people are holding off going on "the big one".

I dunno what the answer is - I thought people over here weren't so worried about flying any more:confused: - at least that's what all the carriers would tell us.

However;) - look on the bright side for us going soon . . . . the parks should be quiet (we can but hope):D
