The price of a family holiday for a week in May increases by up to £96 for every additional degree of heat in Spain, a study has found - with one season being the best for travel
Researchers have determined how the cost of various holiday destinations increases as the weather gets warmer during peak season, in an effort to assist families in reducing expenses.
A week-long holiday in Florida for a family of four costs around £2,100 in May when the average temperature is typically 29 degrees. But this nearly doubles to £4,043 in August, when the average temperature rises by just two degrees to 31 - an extra cost of £972 per degree. A study of 2,000 travellers revealed that four in 10 who are planning a holiday this year intend to go 'out of season'. The main reasons for this include overall cost savings , fewer tourists and a quieter journey to and from their destination . Interestingly, the research also found that one in 10 who have travelled outside of peak season have saved over £400 as a result.
The study also found another popular way 77 per cent of travellers have cut back on costs is to fly mid-week, avoiding peak weekend prices. The survey also revealed that a whopping 87 per cent of holidaymakers prefer to spend their time abroad in warmer climates. However, the cost of holidays could be a barrier for many families, as nearly half feel priced out of travelling during school holidays, with the same percentage calling for more affordable travel options.
