Travel agents see drop-off in last-minute sun holidays

With temperatures again nudging 30C yesterday, tour operators confirmed they were feeling the heat with a huge drop-off in last-minute bookings for sun destinations.

Irish-owned holiday company Sunway confirmed it was pulling its Kerry-Palma Majorca sun holiday well ahead of schedule.

The Kerry-Palma flight had started at the end of June and was Sunway’s first operation out of Kerry. It was due to cease on Aug 22 but is now to end on July 18.
