Travel Health Insurance "While Expedia is capitalising on the opportunities to attract website visits through weather-related searches, other major travel websites are not targeting weather-related destination searches to the same extent.

Travel companies often find that inclement weather leads to a surge in travel bookings. With the unreliable British summer weather, Expedias experiment may well be worthwhile", added Heather Hopkins.
