 effect" is still hitting holiday bookings to Portugal, more than two years after the little girl disappeared there.

The number of Britons booking holidays to Portugal this summer has plunged 30%, Manny Manny may refer to:

In nobility:
  • Baron Manny, a title in the Peerage of England
  • Walter de Manny, 1st Baron Manny (died 1372), soldier of fortune and founder of the Charterhouse
People with the given name Manny:
  • Manny (given name)
 Fontenla-Novoa, chief executive of holiday group Thomas Cook said.

Asked if the drop in Portugal numbers was down to the "Maddie effect", he agreed that it was, adding that bookings to Portugal had been "decimated".

"Portugal is very much a family destination but I think it will come back." Mr Fontenla-Novoa said that authorities in Portugal had done all they could and that they understood the tourism situation.

His comments came as he gave a briefing on holiday prospects this year and next.

Mr Fontenla-Novoa said: "Next year is going to be a really tough year - much tougher than this year, particularly because of the expected rise in unemployment."
