On the Beach: Last Minute Holidays Entice Sun-seeking Brits
By On The Beach, PRNESunday, July 17, 2011
MANCHESTER, England, July 18, 2011 -
- On the Beach has observed a significant rise in the number of
people looking for last minute holidays; the company says this owes
to the great savings these trips offer -
The month of June saw many British tourists explore the
possibility of last minute holidays according to
leading online travel agency. The company found that 68 per cent
more people searched for such trips in June than in May. On the
Beach says that summer is the perfect time to take off on a last
minute trip to sunny destinations in Europe.
Alistair Daly, Marketing Director of On the Beach, says: “In
June we saw a significant uptake in the amount of people
investigating and purchasing last minute trips to a variety of
destinations - the Mediterranean was particularly popular as many
of our customers focused on
places like the Balearic Islands, the Canaries and Malta.”
On the Beach offers a wide variety of last minute holidays to
destinations in Europe, many of which allow Brits to take advantage
of significant deals. The company advises potential travellers to
focus on weekday flights and avoid
school holiday periods in order to find the most affordable
packages.
Daly concludes: “The summer is a great time to head off on
holiday, yet many Brits this year put off booking to the very last
minute. This is a great idea as providers are slashing prices and
there are some truly great deals to be had. Though the economic
recovery is well underway, our customers still want to stretch
their money as far as possible -
minute holidays are one of the best ways to do this without
compromising the quality of your trip.”
