\n<\/strong>Preparing for the possibility of a no-deal Brexit should be \u00abthe top priority\u00bb for civil servants, Boris Johnson has told them in a letter. The PM said he would prefer to get a deal but the UK must leave the EU by 31 October \u00abwhatever the circumstances\u00bb.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe UK economy is shrinking for the first time in nearly seven years.\u00a0Brexit could send it into a recession. GDP for the three months ended June contracted 0.2% compared to the previous quarter, the Office for National Statistics said Friday. Experts had expected growth to be flat. The contraction comes as the global economy slows and fears rise that\u00a0<\/strong>Britain could\u00a0crash out of the European Union, dealing a gut punch to an already-weak economy.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n\n
\nThe boss of SeaWorld has accused British Airways Holidays of succumbing to pressure from animal rights activists after the operator revealed a new wildlife policy.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n
\nOn the Beach issued a profit warning today due to a plunge in sterling amid no-deal Brexit fears. The online beach holiday retailer said it \u201canticipates delivering a full year performance below the board\u2019s expectations\u201d.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n
\nA \u00a31.11 billion five-year expansion plan has been unveiled for Gatwick. An extension to pier six is the single biggest project outlined in the capital investment programme.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n
\nGatwick security guards have suspended planned strike action after receiving a ‘dramatically improved’ pay offer.\u00a0Unite, which represents the 130 workers employed by ICTS (UK) to scan passengers’ luggage, said it is recommending they accept the deal.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n\n
\nFollowing a strike ballot, which closed on Wednesday (7 August), pilots union Balpa said 80% of its Ryanair members voted in favour of strike action on a 72% turnout. The first of two planned walkouts will take place later this month over 22-23 August before a second over 2-4 September.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n
\nNorwegian saw a marginal increase in load factors last month with slightly more than 3.7 million passengers in the month. The carrier\u2019s load factor was 93.5%, up half a percentage point. Total traffic increased by 6% and the capacity growth was 5%, the airline announced.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n
\nIn December, Wizz will begin flying to Warsaw and Gdansk in Poland, Hungarian capital Budapest and Romanian capital Bucharest from Edinburgh. Four-times weekly flights to Warsaw, operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, will get under way 18 December, with fares from \u00a316.99 (one-way).\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n\n
\nThe TTG Top 50 agency, part of the Pure Destinations Travel group, said the launch of its Beach Weddings operation came off the back of a surge in bookings for overseas weddings over the past year, particularly in south-east Asia. Beach Weddings will specialise in European, Caribbean and Indian Ocean wedding packages, offering secular and religious weddings, as well as other services such as vow renewals and blessings.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>More than three-quarters of travellers look for sustainable credentials when booking holidays, according to research carried out by Travel Counsellors. A survey of 500 UK consumers revealed that 79% of travellers take the time to consider their environmental impact, as well as the implications their trip will have on local economies, cultures and the natural heritage of the destination.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n\n
\nBrits heading to Portugal this summer could be facing huge travel disruption because of a potential strike by fuel tanker drivers.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n
\nSpanish ports\u2019 cruise passenger numbers rose by 4.9% to 4.7m in the first six months of this year, despite a 4.4% decline in port calls, to 1,907, reflecting the ongoing trend to higher-capacity vessels.\u00a0Eight of the top 10 cruise ports, including the top five, reported growth in passenger numbers, while all of the same five had fewer port calls.\u00a0Barcelona\u00a0and the\u00a0Balearic Islands\u00a0together handled more than half of the nation\u2019s cruise passenger traffic.\u00a0Details are as follows: Barcelona again headed the list, with 1.28m passengers, up 1.9%, on 342 vessel calls, down by 2.3%. The Balearics followed, with just over one million passengers, a 3.8% gain, aboard 312 port calls, down by 9.6%.\u00a0Link<\/a><\/p>\n
