Holidaymakers cash in on luxurious discounts


British Airways Holidays said over the past year, it has seen an increase in the number of clients opting for properties in the four-star-plus category.



Product manager Mandy Miller said:”People seem to be taking advantage of the low prices to trade up.



“It is not surprising that after travelling all that way, people want to stay somewhere luxurious.”



She said luxury hotels in Bali are on a par with those in other parts of the Far East where standards are considered to be among the best in the world.



Even though Bali is one of the cheapest places to eat out, the two all-inclusive properties on the island, the Melia Benoa and Klub Bali Mirage, are also selling well, according to operators.



They are particularly popular with first-time visitors to the island and the few families who venture that far.



Premier Holidays general manager Asia Paul Tilling said: “Even though it is really cheap to eat in Bali, the all-inclusive hotels still offer very good value for money at a lead-in price of £31 per person per night.”



Distant Dreams product manager Christina Hunter said the Klub Bali Mirage was one of the operator’s most popular hotels.



“It attracts a mix of clientele, not just families, although it is promoted as a family hotel,” she said.



Hayes and Jarvis Far East product manager Marilyn Trust said the price differential between Bali and other holiday resorts in the Far East was minimal.



She said hotel rates have fallen significantly this year during the earlier troubles in Indonesia, but prices for next year are stable.



Hayes and Jarvis package prices lead in at £599 for seven nights accommodation at a three-star resort.



HOLIDAYMAKERS to Bali are taking advantage of a 20% drop in hotel prices over the past two years to trade up to a better standard of accommodation.



Kuoni said its top-selling hotel is the five-star Ritz Carlton which is one of the most expensive properties on the island.



Kuoni head of product Francis Torrilla said:”Our best-selling hotels were always those at the top end of the market and the lower prices have helped bring in a big increase in business.”
