Late booking boosts internet holiday sales

The growing habit of people booking their holidays later and later is apparently benefiting internet travel agents. According to sources for Meliaviajes and Lastminute, two of Spain's leading internet travel agents, the number of people booking their holidays on the net has reached an all-time record high. Some of the best last minute offers are being offered on the internet and now that consumers are fully accustomed to using the net and making net purchases, more and more people are booking flights, hotels and package holidays from the work station and lap-tops at the office, at home or while on the move. Price is not the only attraction, it is also the speed and efficiency of reality travel agents which consumers are growing to prefer.
