World Cup travel sales a disappointment, says PWC
A stream of World Cup related polls by Pricewaterhouse Coopers has shown that travel companies will not see as much trade from the football this summer as they might have hoped for.
Travel director Ian Oakley-Smith said only 1% of UK fans are travelling to South Africa to see the tournament and many people have put off having a holiday altogether for fear of missing games.
He said: "With only one percent of those UK based fans watching the World Cup 2010 actually flying out to South Africa, travel companies are not incurring as much football related trade as they may have anticipated six months ago.
