TRAVEL COLUMN: Why it’s best to book a holiday in January

The predictions for 2016 in the travel Industry are positive.
We believe there will be growth in destinations in Europe such as; Spain, Canaries, Balearics, Greece, Algarve and Cape Verde and then those looking to go further will look at trips that revolve around interpersonal exchanges such as India, Cuba, China, Mexico and Australia.
There will also be a growth in South Africa as prices will drop and it will become an affordable destination that offers unique experiences.
So we know that 2016 is going to be a strong year for the travel world. However, why book in January?
Well I thought it would be a good idea to give you our eight top tips on why being a January booker is a sensible move:
1. Booking up to ten months in advance gives you the best availability and choice with lots of hotels and flights waiting to be booked
2. Tour operators offer early booking discounts in January where you can save hundreds off your holiday
3. Don’t want a long drive to the airport? Then book in advance and you get your regional airport with the lovely day flights at a good price
4. Have options of travelling for ten or 14 nights and this can be a bargain when comparing to a seven-night stay
5. Get those valuable free child places or discounted rooms with children staying in the room free
6. Book in January and buy those dollars or euros. They are the best they have been in a while so take advantage as buying abroad will allow your money to stretch
7. Thinking of using a creche or need an interconnecting room for the family? These facilities go quick. Booking early guarantees you these comforts.
8. Planning – when you have booked your ultimate holiday you now have time to plan all the exciting things you will do while you are there
These are just a few good reasons as to why you should book early.
