Travel Companies Advise Caution Amid Spain's Extreme Heat

Worried about the extreme heat in Spain? But it's not possible to cancel or change the sun trip just because it's hot. It's also nothing the travelers are asking for, according to the charter companies. Most are aware that it usually is hot, says TUI's press officer Dian Martinez Valencia.

Temperatures above 40 degrees are what applies in parts of Spain these days. Even the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs is warning Swedish tourists about the heat.

But none of the charter companies offer rebooking or cancellation solely due to heat reasons.

It is no reason for cancellation, says Martina Krantz, press officer at Apollo.

It is regular booking terms that apply, says Dian Martinez Valencia.

Do not want to cancel

None of the companies have either had anyone who wants to cancel, they say.

On the contrary, according to Ving's communications manager Claes Pellvik. The unstable weather in Sweden has resulted in high booking pressure.

But for those who are already on site or are on their way to Southern Europe (it is not only in Spain that it is extra hot) it applies to follow the local advice, avoid the sun in the middle of the day and drink plenty of water.

Follow local customs, take a siesta, says Claes Pellvik.

Informing guests

The charter companies say they are following developments and informing their guests.

We have had SMS dispatches to all our guests, "be careful in the heat", says Dian Martinez Valencia.

They mean that most sun travelers nowadays know that it can get extremely hot in some places. According to Apollo, the travel pattern has changed somewhat over time, the season has been extended at the beginning and end of summer.

There are tendencies that more people travel to a greater extent when it is not the hottest, says Martina Krantz.
