HOLIDAY CANCELLATION
There is nothing worse 0 having a holiday cancelled.
Despite the fact that the government has brought 1 new
legislation to protect holiday-makers financially, it’s the disappointment which
is hard to bear. In most cases, some form of compensation
2 offered, but often the alternatives are nowhere near
3 exciting as the original destination. On second thoughts,
perhaps 4 is something which is 5 little
worse than a cancelled holiday, and 6 is being stranded at
your holiday destination when a company goes bankrupt. In circumstances
like these, many people wish they 7 never gone on holiday
at all, and may think twice about going again. ‘If we’d known that this was
going to happen, we 8 never have considered spending so
much money on a holiday.’ ‘9 only we’d booked with
someone else!’ they grumble to their friends when they get back home. Their
friends try to change 10 subject, but quickly realise that
the disappointed holiday makers are determined to have their say. It seems
useless to point out that the main reason 11 having a
holiday is to return home relaxed and stress-free. If the experience turns out
to be even more stressful than normal everyday life, putting pressure
12 the holiday-maker, then surely it is
13 something to be repeated. Perhaps the best advice for
those 14 feel that they are not cut 15 for
stressful holiday experiences is simply to stay at home!
