SPAIN AND GREECE FIGHT BACK
WITH HEAVY DISCOUNTS

Prices for holidays to Spain and Greece this summer have dropped by as much as 20% due to slow demand for these destinations earlier in the year. There are now some unbelievable last minute deals available this summer, according to www.lowcostholidays.com, the low cost holiday experts. There has been a 20% increase in the number of holidaymakers searching for trips to Spain compared to the same time last year and bookings to Spain are up 28% year on year.

Commenting on Spain's late fight back, CEO Paul Evans said:

"This is great news for the consumer with plenty of holidays left in Spain for the summer, meaning holidaymakers can really pick up an incredible deal. Hoteliers in Spain were initially reluctant to reduce their prices but now have rooms to fill. All-inclusive packages continue to be the most popular choice for our customers."

Matt Hall, Head of Product and Inventory at www.lowcostholidays.com suggests there are some strong deals to be had for packages to Greece:

"It's been all about Turkey up to now but at last Greek hoteliers are coming up with some very attractive deals to attempt to lure the Brits away from Turkey and back to Greece. The demise of XL left a hole in the market, in particular in Greece which was one of its main destinations. This gap is now being filled by low cost carriers and other charter airlines leading to a decrease in flight prices to Greece as these companies try to sell off empty seats for the summer. Overall we are seeing prices to Greece fall by about 15% and bookings to Greece were up 15% month on month with Crete and Rhodes the top choices."

Prices in June for 7 nights in Majorca start from £129 per person staying at the Sol Radiante Apartments on a self-catering basis with flights from London Gatwick (based on 4 people sharing) and 7 nights at the 3 star all-inclusive Belsana Hotel in June start from £259 per person with flights from London Gatwick.
