Make this a Christmas to remember

Although it may seem premature to some, many across the South West are already turning their attentions to the festive season and it seems trips away are first on the agenda.

 

Weston-Super-Mare based coach operator, Bakers Dolphin have seen record sales for their Christmas and New Year breaks already and it looks as if the trend is set to continue.

 

With seven-day trips to Austria, Switzerland, the Black Forest and Lake Garda from as little as £599, holiday-makers are snapping up the chance to inject a little Christmas spirit into the long winter months.

 

The trips are packed with festive fun and can include traditional Christmas dinners and excursions to local landmarks and surrounding areas as well as first-class transport and accommodation.

 

It seems many also want to stay closer to home with Turkey ‘n’ Tinsel trips to Torquay, Tenby and Pembrokeshire proving popular. These five-day trips run from November allowing people the chance to get into the Christmas spirit early.

 

Bakers Dolphin’s sales and marketing director Amanda Harrington said: “With most people’s summer holidays now over, it is no surprise we are finding a huge increase in the number of bookings for our Christmas and New Year trips. People want to have something to look forward to and short breaks like ours are the easy and economical way to do this.

 

“Our Christmas market trips in Cologne and Bruges are extremely popular and allow people to purchase unique presents for loved ones. Because they are available from November people can get excited early and prices start from only £189 meaning the luxury won’t set you back much during the expensive holiday season.

 

“The Christmas period can be very stressful but our trips take all the pressure off which, I think, is one of the reasons they are so popular. People don’t have to worry about catering for the family and the dreaded washing up as everything is done for them!”

 

The firm also offers exciting Christmas shopping trips giving the opportunity to find that elusive present in some of the countries best shopping locations such as Lakeside shopping centre and the Trafford Centre. Prices for these trips start at just £99.

 

Amanda continued: “Not only do the shopping trips offer some real festive retail therapy they also allow you to enjoy the sights of your chosen city and get away for a couple of days in a lovely hotel.”
