Researchers have determined how the cost of various holiday destinations increases as the weather gets warmer during peak season, in an effort to assist families in reducing expenses.
A week-long holiday for a family of four in Florida comes to £2,100 in May when the typical temperature is 29 degrees. But this nearly doubles to £4,043 in August, when average temperatures are just two degrees higher at 31 - an extra £972 per degree. A study of 2,000 travellers revealed that four in 10 are planning to holiday 'out of season' this year. The main reasons for this include overall cost savings , fewer tourists and a quieter journey to and from their destination .
She added: "Our research has shown that families can still enjoy hot holidays at a better price point by considering October half term for travel. In fact, a holiday to Cyprus is £321 cheaper in October than August, and still a balmy 25 degrees. Families considering Florida could also save £406 in October, when it is 29 degrees - just two degrees cooler than August."
September is the preferred month for holidays for 18 per cent of adults, although August remains a favourite for 14 per cent despite being the height of the summer break. Laura Plunkett commented: "People put a lot of time and effort into making sure they get a great deal on their flights and accommodation, and booking out of season can be a smart way to maximise your holiday experience within your budget. However, timely booking is just one way that holidaymakers can save money."
