I certainly don't shun 'eurozone'. It's the only place I can travel outside the UK...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

My bookings for this season, the summer and next winter (some peak weeks already booked) would suggest otherwise. From the conversations I have had though, many chalet and hotel lovers are choosing self-catering instead.

In the long run this will force some hoteliers to readjust..... that can't afford to lose too many
supply and demand and all that...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have heard that ion St Anton some Hoteliers will go out of business business before thew end of this season. Austrian banks are in so much trouble having lent to Eastern Europe that loans for Domestic Hotels in the last few years are not being honoured and likely to default.

However, the travel industry warns would-be holidaymakers that making a last-minute booking will not mean a big discount this summer.
They would say that
I'll do what I always do and wait for my Mallorca summer hols till 2 days before I want to go - normally get a week inc, flight for around £150 -

At Wengen the Inghams rep was saying that 50% of their beds were filled by late bookers at discounts - not sustainable in the long term. I believe the TOs are making far lees confirmed bookings to the hotels for next year. So my guess is that holiday costs will be up - and that there will be a surge in self-catering. Looks to me that Helen Beaumont should be in a sound financial position. The slopes at Wengen were rather quiet with almost no queues - so I wonder if the resort overall may not be under some strain next season.
