Heidi Walker: Flight Centre General Manager on the reduction in holiday bookings during the school term
Manage episode 426832378 series 2098285
The Government crackdown on truancy could be causing a drop in families taking holidays during term time.
Flight Centre data shows a 30% reduction in bookings during the school term compared to last year.
At the same time, bookings during July's school holidays are up 10%.
General Manager Heidi Walker told Mike Hosking that the old excuse of it being more expensive to travel in the holidays is unfortunately true.
She said that prices rise due to supply and demand, as more people are wanting to travel to those family destinations during the school holidays.
However, Walker said, booking as far in advance as you can is your best bet to get a good deal.
