Holidays Sales up by 50% due to Jubilee Break

April 24, 2012 - PRLog -- With ABTA estimating that 6 million Brits are planning to take a holiday during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Holiday and with the British weather as unreliable and miserable as ever, searches and bookings for the Jubilee week have surged this week and are up by over 50% year on year, according to lowcostholidays.com, one of the top 10 UK travel websites.  

As a result of the late May Bank Holiday and an extra day off for the Jubilee celebrations, holiday makers need little persuading to take 3 working days out of the office for up to 9 days holiday.  With the kids off school that week too, there are some great value deals to be found to escape the dreary UK weather.

Majorca is the number 1 holiday destination for the Jubilee holiday week with bookings up 60% year on year.  Other popular destinations in demand include Florida, the Algarve and Turkey all up over 55% year on year.

Matt Hall, Deputy Managing Director at lowcostholidays.com commented, “This week we’ve seen a real surge in searches and bookings for the extended Bank Holiday week.  Over 12,000 holidaymakers have already booked to travel with us that week.  There are some great value deals across a wide range of sunny destinations as well as some really attractive City breaks.”
