Dec. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Bookings for holidays to escape the UK's big freeze are up 65% year on year, according to http://www.lowcostholidays.com, the online travel company, with traffic to the website up by 60% year on year since the snow first fell.  Top searches on the site are for holidays to the Canaries, Dubai and Thailand and over 50% of sales over the last week are for travel in the next 8 weeks.

Matt Hall, Product Director at lowcostholidays.com said, “The cold weather has driven more customers to search for winter sun holidays with the Canaries and the Algarve offering the best value for money.  Some holiday makers are still looking to get away this Xmas and New Year in spite of the increased flight prices.  Bookings for next summer are also helping customers to cope with the cold with Majorca and Ibiza the two most popular summer holiday destinations.”

City breaks in Madrid and Barcelona where the temperatures are warmer than the UK top the list of short break bookings.

The latest prices from lowcostholidays.com show a 7 night package in Tenerife at the 4 star Isla Bonita Hotel on an all-inclusive basis from just £336 per person in January.  Call Freefone 0800 1116271 or www.lowcostholidays.com
