Villa
Plus has announced that at a time when other villa operators are increasing
their terms, it will be reducing its booking deposit requirement to 10% for
villa only bookings or £100 per person for package holiday bookings*.
In
a fragile economy, where big ticket items like holidays can seem expensive,
Villa Plus wanted to make it easier for customers to book their holiday early,
yet still get value for money. So, in contrast to other villa operators, the
company has decided to decrease the amount customers are required to pay when
they book their holiday.
"We
wanted to make it easier for our customers, many of whom are families, to book
their holiday early and secure their favourite villa. We're hoping the lower
booking deposit will help our customers
to budget if they need to", commented Nick Cooper, Villa Plus director
and founder.
This
won't be the first time Villa Plus has thought differently. As tour operators
struggled last year, Villa Plus rebranded and made significant improvements
to its website which lead to a widespread sales increase for 2010. This has
helped place Villa Plus in a strong financial position for 2011, ultimately
enabling it to reduce the booking deposits against the general trend.
Notes
to editors:
*Some airlines may charge full fare up front, so prices may vary depending on
airline chosen. Also, package holiday deposits are subject to an additional
statutory ATOL contribution of £2.50 per person.
