LONDON, June 24, 2011 -
With summer in full swing many British
touristsare travelling to
Spain on last minute holidays to take advantage of great
deals.
According to leading online travel agency
tourists are being tempted on last minute holidays to Spain. The
company says this owes to the availability of great deals to
seaside destinations in the country.
Information from Spain’s statistics office shows that hotel
prices have dropped 30 per cent since their peak in 2008, and that
they reached their lowest point in 11 years this past March.
According to On the Beach, these accommodation rates now make
Spain some of the most cost-effective options available for
British customers.
On the Beach’s customers tend to congregate around Spain’s many
Blue Flag Beaches, where
they can relax and enjoy the pleasant climate in gorgeous,
eco-friendly surroundings. It is possible to arrange last minute
holidays to these destinations through the company’s website.
Alistair Daly, Marketing Director of On the Beach, says: “Last
minute holidays are proving particularly popular right now as
people don’t want to let the summer pass them by. That said, Brits
want to save as much money as possible and are therefore searching
for bargains, this makes Spain an obvious destination as it offers
truly fantastic value.”
Daly continues: “Spain has long been a favourite with British
holidaymakers, largely thanks to its excellent beaches - indeed,
summer in the UK often fails to deliver much sunshine, so it is no
surprise to see so many people heading to this lovely country on
minute holidays.”
