Travel Trends

AN exclusive poll of Brits by global flight and travel deals platform, Cheapflights.co.uk, has revealed that almost a third have been put off holidaying in the US because of President Trump’s controversial actions since taking office. If all of them chose to take their travels somewhere else next year, the estimated cost to the US economy would exceed $1.5 billion.

This apparent ‘Trump Slump’ is reflected in searches for flights to the US from the UK, which have fallen by 13 per cent in the period since Trump entered the Oval Office and are currently 10 per cent behind where they were this time last year. On the flip-side, alternative destinations are basking in a ‘Trump Jump’, with demand to Mexico up 22 per cent, Caribbean up 12 per cent, Canada up 6 per cent and Thailand a staggering 27 per cent.

Trump heading to Scotland for Turnberry re-opening

AMERICAN presidential candidate #DonaldTrump has welcomed the re-opening of #TrumpTurnberry in #Ayrshire and confirmed his attendance at a ceremonial ribbon cutting on June 24.  

Trump said: ‘Very exciting that one of the great resorts of the world, Turnberry, will be opening after a massive £200 million investment. I own it and I am very proud of it. I look forward to attending the official opening of this great development in June.”

Trump Turnberry, a Luxury Collection Resort, has re-opened its doors to guests after an eight-month restoration. Coupled with the renovation of Turnberry’s Ailsa Championship golf course, the resort is one of the most opulent luxury retreats in the world. The hotel refurbishment has comprised the upgrade of 103 guest rooms, including four luxury suites. The iconic Turnberry Lighthouse has been restored and converted into a £3,500-per night two-bedroom suite.

Opening in August is the Donald Trump Ballroom, a 500-person grand ballroom, which the owners say will be the most luxurious meeting facility in Europe.
