Budget cuts change holiday habits
Perhaps unsurprisingly, research conducted by TripAdvisor has found that 53% of parents will be spending less on holidays this year…
It also found that more parents are taking their children out of school in term time in order to get cheaper holidays. Apparently, schools have the right to fine parents for doing this – up to £2,500! This doesn’t seem to either discourage parents or encourage schools to react to the situation.
Does it really matter? Does the odd week here or there really make a huge difference to an education? Or are the budget cuts going to impact on the continuity and coherence of the school year? Whatever the effect, surely this will be on the increase now as people desperately try to keep their family holidays.
