Hotel and Flight Prices Reducing

    When the stock exchange markets panic, ordinary people can save loads of money.

    Corporations reduce their prices to keep their own business going.

    I have just cancelled a €700 reservation at an Irish hotel. I think in the next 8 weeks they will reduce their prices.

    I am watching airline prices to Lanzarote. For my family they wanted €1200 to €1600 at the moment. How much will they want in six weeks time ?

    Consumers should cancel advance bookings for the next few months now and force businesses in the travel industry to reduce prices massively to try to get customers.

    The consumer is now the king.

    The consumer is king during a pandemic when people are afraid of dying due to a virus. If the person next to you sneezes, that may well be good karma.

    In a booming economy, I have nothing ... In a recession I do much better.
    I have zero exposure in a recession and everything is cheaper. Happy days.
