A 60% rise in bookings in a week is good news, but meaningless statistic if Premier Holiday is the bit part player I suspect it is.

As written by Nuevo vista above, a meaningless statistic without numbers.
In illustration, if the original baseline number is 40, it just requires a further 24 bookings for there to be a 60% increase. In that perspective, it is not such dramatic news.

60 % increase thats fantatstic…. Well done to all those promoting the island.
Last year, 5 people could have come through Premier Holidays; 60% increase, extra 3 people.
Thats the problem with percentages, you need to know the real numbers.
