SWAP TURKEY IN THE KITCHEN FOR EGYPT ON THE BEACH

CHRISTMAS BOOKINGS UP 100% YEAR ON YEAR

With Christmas fast approaching, searches and bookings from consumers wanting to spend the festive break out of the UK are on the rise, according to lowcostholidays.com, the low cost holiday experts.

There has been a 120% increase year on year in the number of customers searching for Christmas holidays and overall bookings for Christmas are up 100% year on year.

Top selling Christmas holiday destinations include Egypt, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Costa Blanca with bookings to Egypt leading the way up a massive 125% year on year.

Commenting on the increase in Christmas bookings, CEO Paul Evans said:

“For many of our customers, particularly those who chose a wet ‘staycation’ this summer, an escape from the doom and gloom of the UK weather and recession this Christmas is proving a very attractive option. We’re working very closely with hoteliers to keep the costs down as much as possible even with the added gala meals that many offer at this time of year."

Matt Hall, Head of Product at lowcostholidays.com adds:

"Half board and all-inclusive packages are proving even more popular than usual over the Christmas week as holidaymakers want to enjoy the heat of the beaches rather than the kitchen.

We’ve got some great priced packages available over the Christmas period with Sharm El Sheikh proving to be the most popular destination offering great quality accommodation, guaranteed sunshine and a wide range of all inclusive properties.

Bookings to New York, Florida and Mexico are also popular over Christmas."
