Luxury holiday bookings on the rise

The number of people booking high value holidays is on the rise, with luxury tour operators feeling the benefit.


The number of people booking holidays costing £100,000 or more has doubled in the past year, the Sunday Times reported.


One family paid £706,400 for a three-week ski trip to Verbier, rated as the most expensive holiday sold in the past 12 months.


Other travel companies are also benefitting from a boost in high-end holiday sales.


David Hope, an independent analyst for Travel Monitor, which is supplied with weekly data from 3,000 UK travel agents, said: “Just under 1.6 million people have already booked to go on holiday next summer.


“While the market overall is down 2%, we are seeing that holidays over £7,000 per person are up by 13% and holidays at more than £10,000 per person are up 5%.”
