Following the nonsense at the airports last week flights are beginning to return to normal. Some delayed passengers have begun to arrive in town with varying degrees of delay. Judging by the look of things when driving around town it would seem that there are fewer people around but from specific tour groups. There seem to be fewer package deal people about while the sole traveller, or the weathered wanderer, is still following the call of the East!! The lack of the package tourist it seems is already having an effect on local tourist attractions as well as 'drop-off' shopping malls.
From several press reports the biggest drop in arriving guests has been the up-market hotel chains where numbers have dropped like the proverbial stone. This has resulted in several high profile conferences having to be cancelled.
More to follow on this as things develop.
