If you’ve been holding off on booking your winter escape, now’s the time to act! Prices are not likely to go down — in fact, they’re already trending upward.
Given the current economic and political climate, getting away from winter will feel more essential than ever. Travellers are booking early, and prices are fluctuating wildly. I recently had two families planning to travel together to a popular resort: the first locked in a great rate, and just two weeks later the second family faced a 25% increase for the same trip.
If you have a favourite resort or destination, don’t wait — secure your spot with a deposit now to lock in pricing and availability.
Another smart move: Purchase the Tour Operator’s Protection Plan. It works almost like a price drop guarantee, allowing you to cancel or change your booking once and rebook at a lower price if it drops. The cost is usually around $100–$125 per person, but it’s well worth the peace of mind knowing you’re protected.
And don’t forget to check your travel insurance, make sure you are covered!
Bottom line: Don’t let rising prices or limited space ruin your winter getaway. Book early, protect your investment, and look forward to your warm-weather escape!
