I think the report is a bit optimistic myself although from chatting to people that work in the small travel agents they tell me they have been doing well.

ABTA – The Travel Association, today released its Travel Trends Report 2013, developed in association with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, predicting that consumers will continue to look for good value in breaks in 2013 rather than cut back on their holidays. While the mid-market is expected to continue to feel the squeeze, tailor-made packages, luxury holidays and all-inclusive breaks, are expected to be popular.
