Is It Time To Raid The Holiday Market?
What better time to grab a bargain than now, just as the main season is coming to and end and holiday companies are struggling to sell on their allocation?
Those in a position to fund a holiday will find some rich pickings in the market over the next few months, but don't leave it too late as the Christmas holiday season will soon be upon us with the premiums which they attract!
Over the last few months we have seen some very strong performances from the holiday companies which have seemingly been beating the recession much to the surprise of many experts, but the next few months will be very different.
Many holidays this year were actually booked last year when the economic climate was much better and people had a little more money. In that environment they were more than happy to pay the going rate but now we are hearing of people starting to barter with their travel agents, looking for added extras and benefits which may not be in the brochure.
If you are looking to book up for a last minute break or even looking to next year it is vital that you shop around and ask for the deals as they will not come to you!
