A Belfast travel agent has said record sales for the start of the year are a clear sign that despite the cost of living crisis, people still need and value their holidays.
Many families are aiming to lock-in travel deals for the school summer, Easter and October holidays as more holidaymakers turn to travel agents. Holiday duration is also trending upwards with almost half of new bookings for 10 nights or longer. "I think a lot of people may have had money in a pot during the lockdown and are only now getting to spend it. Holidays seem to be a luxury that people can't do without.
Kelly added: "Value is key this year and generally customers will come in and say they have a certain amount of money set aside and ask what they can get for that. It’s always recommended to book early to enjoy launch deals and early booking discounts – but the biggest influencer of price at the minute is availability.
As well as spending cherished time with the people we love the most, it can have a money-saving benefit too. Villas abroad come in all sizes and many can comfortably accommodate large groups of friends or several families.
£600 comes in handy for those who don't need it
