Last Minute Holidays boom as holiday prices are slashed, says holidayholiday.co.uk
Created by HH Team - 12/08/2010
Holiday prices in the coming weeks are set to fall and last minute holidays will offer fantastic value for money, due to unpredicted factors that have affected holiday sales so far this Summer.
According to travel industry experts, a host of events including the Icelandic ash cloud, world cup, emergency budget, worries about slashes in public spending, unrest in Thailand and Greece and not to mention surprisingly good Summer weather here in the UK so far, have all attributed to holiday makers booking less holidays so far this Summer. This has resulted in tour operators and hoteliers being forced to cut the prices of their holiday even more than usual, as holidaymakers book late and take advantage of last minute holidays.
As a result, there are lots fantastic bargains to be had on holidays, especially on last minute holidays to destinations such as Greece, the Balearic Islands, Cyprus and Turkey as hotels compete on price. Savings of hundreds of pounds can be made on various holidays including family breaks. "If you're looking for a bargain, booking late and finding a last minute deal will pay dividends at the moment as operators compete to sell holidays in a very tough market" says HolidayHoliday.co.uk director Emma Healey. Continues Emma "If you are flexible, you really can make huge savings at the moment as holidays are being discounted even within a week of departure, meaning last minute holidays can have savings of up to 40% in some cases. Expect these savings to increase also once the School Summer holidays end."
