Red Sea unrest boosts Costa del Sol bookings | Costa del Sol |

 Red Sea unrest boosts Costa del Sol bookings trouble in Egypt and Tunisia has led to a boost in holiday bookings to the Costa del Sol. There is a direct relationship between the political upheavals in the Arab countries and a rise of between 30 and 40 per cent for online bookings on the Costa del Sol for this Spring and Summer, according to Sonia Tello, director of Tui Hotelbeds.

Most of the bookings are coming from the British market, although experts predict a boom in bookings from elsewhere in Europe.

Over the past week there have been violent demonstrations in Cairo and other locations across Egypt and particularly in central Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Suez.

“We advise against all but essential travel to Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Suez,” the British Foreign office warned on Tuesday. “The situation is unpredictable and may change quickly,” it said."
