The year 2011 will see more travelers opting for "selective austerity" in their holidays, it has been predicted.
Travellers will watch the pennies not only in the run-up to trips but also while away.
"The pressure on travelers' finances has not disappeared and 2011 will mark the age of 'selective austerity', t
"Travellers will do whatever it takes to save pennies on the mundane stuff - packed lunches, cutting out the daily latte, rethinking their journey to work, switching to a different energy provider."
TrainTickets is forecasting a rise in holidays by train, with the number of travellers inquiring about rail journeys rising 20 per cent year on year.
Such trips are popular with what the company calls the "journey junky" who is addicted to slower travel and savours the journey as part of the overall holiday experience.
