When North Rhine-Westphalia is the first federal state to start the summer holidays on June 22nd, tour operators and travel agencies will once again advertise last-minute bargains. So they try to sell remaining places. But if you hope for super offers, you could be disappointed. Experts estimate that there will also be trips for last-minute travelers this summer. However, due to the high demand after the pandemic and lower capacities, they will not be much cheaper than they are now. The selection is also shrinking. If you want to book at short notice, you have to be very flexible in terms of holiday destination, travel period and accommodation.
“There will always be short-term offers, but the equation last minute equals super bargains doesn’t quite work this year,” says Aage Dünhaupt from Germany’s largest tour operator TUI. “Firstly, because there are a lot of early bookers.” This is because people longed for security after the pandemic and in times of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine. “Secondly, because the hoteliers know that there is always someone who will pay a good price even at the last minute.” Then there is the fact that almost everything is Vacation become more expensive. This is partly due to the increased energy prices and high personnel costs.
