Fewer British tourists on European beaches?

Another issue is the impact of Brexit on TUI’s and Thomas Cook’s UK businesses. Neither group wants to put any figures on the potential cost of Brexit on business. But the falling pound has already made foreign holidays more expensive for British citizens this year. Fewer bookings next year could easily result in lower revenues and margins in the UK for the two market leaders.

Moreover, TUI has already warned about the potential impact of Brexit on EU destinations in view of the importance of British tourist numbers. “Britons take five out of six foreign holidays in EU countries. In Spain or Portugal, nearly every fourth holidaymaker comes from the UK,” the group wrote in the October issue of its ‘Policy Agenda’. Southern European countries are the top destinations from the UK, led by Spain (14.3 million arrivals last year), followed by France (7.2m), Italy (3.1m), Portugal (2.4m), Netherlands (2.2m), Germany (2.1m) and Greece (2.1m), according to the UK Office for National Statistics.

In other words, fewer British tourists could leave sizeable gaps in hotel occupancy levels and lead to lower tourism receipts in countries such as Spain, Portugal and Greece, which are still struggling to recover from the financial crisis.

Chaos for airlines next March?

The biggest immediate risk, however, surrounds aviation. Little over four months before Brexit, issues such as UK – EU traffic rights and airline ownership rules remain unresolved. Airlines are particularly worried as they are already selling tickets for flights between the UK and EU states in summer 2019 despite this legal uncertainty.

Some experts have warned that flights between the UK and the EU might even be halted in the immediate aftermath of the March 29 withdrawal date. For example, Christoph Debus, CEO of Thomas Cook Group Airlines, recently cautioned: “It cannot be excluded that flights will stop for a day or a week.”

Amazing that someone so sad it has to copy my name tells a poster "you look stupid here"

Well not as silly or stupid as you Chum!

For what its worth ...........the recovery from 20 to almost 40p has made some short term punters happy.
Longer term serious holders are nursing bigger losses but have recovered some.

I sill ask the question what will drive the turn around this year?

Higher sales?
Reduced cost base?
Better margin?

Serious debate please

Today was just a technical reaction to hitting 40p resistance and hitting top of trend channel, should get through there this week, then not much resistance until 116p

Recovering global markets & stronger GBP can support a move higher this quarter GL

Today was a fuel stop.

So how low do we go before the next wave up?

OnJohn, you are wasting your time if you think you'll make any difference to anyone on a share such as this. Try AiM, you may look in place there but you look stupid here.

As for shorting, you cannot short any stock unless you are a professional Hedge Fund. The best you can do is bet against other mugs using mirror sites such as IG Index.


Strong BUY.

ONjohn, good luck with that one,I think you’ll find you were a tad late to the bears party 140p to 20p on TCG, like where were you? 😂

FOXT is debt free, hardly a short at 50p levels.
