Anyone tried this? HR Property 61782 boasts an appearance on it but is reducing the 2 middle weeks of September by 25%, suggesting that "A Place in the Sun" isn't very helpful.

Isn't "A Place In The Sun" a TV show about buying property overseas and not a TV show aimed travel consumers? If you accept that, then why would you expect the exposure on such an ill-targeted show to translate into holiday bookings?

That's what I thought, Gary - without the details - but see my post on RR's beans. Or read her fab reviews (re-read if necessary - you'll see what I mean).

Why should it be helpful? It's a TV show AND magazine aimed at people looking to buy property. It is not aimed at travel consumers.

Don't know, garri - HR Property 61782 chooses to mention their presence on it - maybe people don't know what it is!

The programmes audience may consist of a lot more travel consumers than you may expect.
