Travelmatch: Brits Begin Hunt for 2012 Holiday Bargains

LONDON, August 5, 2011 -

- According to data from travelmatch.co.uk, Brits are already starting to book their holidays in 2012; the company says this is a great way to secure fantastic bargains early -

Online travel specialist Travelmatch, says that the time is now to start planning 2012 holidays. The company is encouraging its customers to start snapping up packages for the winter holiday season which kicks off in January 2012.

Data from Google Insights shows that British travellers are increasingly searching for holidays during this period - queries began to rise in spring, but have surged ahead in July. Travelmatch expects ever more people to start planning their holidays for next year this August.

The company has seen interest across a wide range of destinations, though island retreats have been particularly popular with many seeking all inclusive holidays to the likes of Tenerife in 2012. travelmatch.co.uk customers who select these packages are able to capitalise on significant savings by booking in advance.

Alex Francis of travelmatch.co.uk comments: “Booking far in advance is the most reliable way to get great deals on trips abroad. We have some truly stellar packages on 2012 holidays to Spain, Turkey and Bulgaria which allow our customers to get abroad at very reasonable rates. There is nothing more satisfying than finding that perfect holiday at an exceptional price.”

Francis continues: “Last winter was very cold, and this coming one may be similarly snowy. There is no better way to combat this than by booking a sunny escape to a warm destination like Tenerife or Bulgaria. By making their holiday arrangements now, our customers will be well prepared for the onslaught of the British winter. Many people are clearly thinking along these lines, as our 2012 holiday packages are really heating up.”
