From the reading: The Strategic Traveller

According to the Q2 Travel Sentiment Survey published by Click&Go Holidays, 68% of those who had not yet committed to travel cited cost as their primary concern — a figure that underlines just how sensitive leisure spending has become in the current economic climate.
