Dip in early sun holidays

The heat wave enjoyed last summer in Ireland has resulted in a dip in early 2014 sun holiday sales at the country’s largest travel agency.

That is according to director of Club Travel Ltd, Colman Burke, who was commenting yesterday on the firm’s accounts for 2013 where its pre-tax profits dropped by 24% to €3.3m.

This followed revenues at the Dublin-based firm decreasing by 7.5% from €86.45m to €80m in the 12 months to the end of October 31, 2013.
