How to Find a Great Holiday Bargain

Thanks to our continually rocky economy, stubbornly immovable salaries and the rising cost of living, finding a holiday that fits first with the budget and second with personal taste is fast becoming the priority with many would-be holidaymakers. Most are still taking holidays - and so they should, after all it’s an important part of wellbeing and happiness - but many are finding it harder to fulfill their usual wish list.

There are numerous ways to find a great deal, and while some compromises may have to be made, it means that you can still get away from the daily grind and enjoy a proper break without worrying too much about your bank balance.

Let’s take Tenerife for example. Ever popular, eternally sunny and full of diversity, this sun-baked island can easily accommodate most holiday preferences. One of the best ways to save money is to book well in advance, and with Tenerife holidays 2013 available now, there’s no time like the present to get online and start searching for next year’s getaway. Booking ahead means you’ll often take advantage of tour operator discounts and early bird deals, as they’re keen to kick-start the season as early as possible. Plus you’ll get longer to pay off the cost of your holiday, making it easier to digest.

On the flip side, there are still plenty of 2012 holidays available and many of these are now available as late deals, leaving within the next few weeks. When it comes to last-minute holiday deals, Tenerife has got a fantastic range on offer and due to the sheer competitiveness between tour operators, you can drive a hard bargain and get a fantastic holiday at a knock-down price. Pop into your local travel agent to barter face-to-face, or search online for late departures and to compare prices.

Of course the best thing about late deals, apart from the price, is that you could be jetting off and sunning yourself as soon as next week. How’s that for temptation?
