Accommodation Bargains Are to Be Booked because of the Recession
The sterling is fetching less than the euro at Travelex, you would suppose that there would be some real ski deals to be had in ski resorts this winter as potential skiers remain back home to combat the financial crisis. First facts just now publicized highlight that ski towns are 83 % booked over the New year and Christmas time period. 14 percent higher than the identical period a year ago.
You’ll probably have better chance in Jan which at the moment has a 36 percent booking level. The only signs of a downturn is over the important school ski vacation month that has 65 percent reservations, 4 percent down on last season. Reservation desks in the ski fields of Les Menuires, La Clusaz, Les Trois Vallees and Serre Chevalier have seen heavy demand in Dec encouraged by the good early season snow fall. Montgenevre has better bookings than a year ago, whilst Les Trois Vallees enjoyed a superb Xmas.
However there is substantial requirement for bigger self catered chalets, 5 to 11 places, as folk group together to save the pennies. Early evidence shows that DIY ski holidays are doing well, evidence perhaps that earnest skiers will not fore-go their ski holiday. However bookings for package holidays are down on last year.
