Agents have seen a surge in bookings for romantic citybreaks since England got kicked out of the World Cup, which suggests that either football fans are making up to their partners for those nights stuck in front of the telly or their wives and girlfriends are trying to cheer them up.
According to ebookers, the top five post-World Cup holiday destinations are New York, Las Vegas, Paris, Amsterdam and Dublin.
Ebookers head of offline marketing UK and Ireland Steven Rice said: “Just like when England was eliminated from the 2006 World Cup, we’re anticipating a surge in the number of bookings made now World Cup glory has escaped us once again.
"With the England team on its way back home, we’re already beginning to see more customers overcome their disappointment by focusing on enjoying the rest of the summer and booking their next holiday.”
