ABTA is encouraging the hundreds of thousands of English, Welsh and Northern Irish fans travelling to France to make the most of their time there, as they head over or under the tunnel for Euro2016 which kicks off next week in Paris.
ABTA is also recommending that fans looking for a last minute booking buy their tickets from official sources only, and ensure they have accommodation booked in advance.
Accommodation will be at a premium throughout France as millions of football fans throughout Europe flock to the country and it is essential that fans book their accommodation in advance. Fans are also strongly advised to buy their tickets from official sources only, as major sporting events are often targeted by fraudsters.
Victoria Bacon, ABTA director of Brand and Business Development, said: “Euro2016 will offer an ideal opportunity for football fans from around the UK to experience the amazing food and culture on offer in some of France’s most interesting and beautiful cities. As excitement builds in the lead up to kick off next week, many fans who haven’t booked yet may be tempted to head off, but with accommodation at a premium and people jostling for hotel rooms, they must ensure they have somewhere to stay before heading over or under the channel.”
ABTA advises that all fans travelling to France read the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice and its “Be on the Ball” travel checklist.https://www.gov.uk/government/news/be-on-the-ball-for-euro-2016
