Agents selling more last minute UK holidays – Hoseasons
Travel agents are selling more last minute domestic holidays this summer and at higher prices, a leading operator claims.
Hoseasons has seen 45% growth in like-for-like sales of UK breaks through agents in the past seven days.
The average booking value is reported to be up 10% on the same time last year, resulting in improved commission payments to the trade.
The self-catering operator’s business development director Pali Badwal said: “It’s a tough market for overseas breaks at the moment but agents have responded to the change in customer demand and are really pushing UK holidays.
“Nobody is quite sure how long the uncertainty in the economy, the credit crunch and high exchange rates will last, but British holidays are at the forefront of the customers’ mind.â€
