Holidays are important for manyIt is likely that the travel industry will start to improve over the coming year, an expert has said.

According to Lucy Huxley, Travel Weekly editor, some signs of improvement are already being witnessed by those with travel agents' insurance.

"Customers who may have skipped their annual holiday last year to save money appear to be keen to make sure their main break is ring-fenced in 2010," she suggested.

Destinations outside the eurozone such as Turkey and Egypt are proving particularly popular, Ms Huxley revealed, with travel agents' insurance policyholders offering some good deals.

Travel companies and hoteliers alike are keen to attract customers by offering them deals for early bookings, she added.

A study from Post Office Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer shows that Jamaica, Egypt and Dubai are the top destinations where UK holidaymakers will have the most money in their pockets.

However, travellers to Turkey will find they are paying more for tourist items, it found.

Compare, choose and buy small business insurance with Coverzones.
