The TravelTime World agency network in the United Kingdom has begun to market stays in the south of Gran Canaria at around 24 euros per night for those tourists who want to escape the increase in energy costs in the winter period. "The new campaign is designed to inspire long-stay holidays abroad this winter and avoid the high cost of living at home," a company spokesperson said. Especially for retirees.
The agency sells this product because "the threat of gas supply disruptions has fueled price increases and uncertainty over winter supply reliability. However, we believe that for some traveling abroad this winter could be a solution to some of these problems.
The TravelTime World network is retail and the product is designed to be sold in person at its British agencies. In addition to the south of Gran Canaria, the agency has added Malta, Portugal, Turkey and Cyprus. It also offers long-stay flights from the United Kingdom to Thailand, "where flight prices remain low." In this destination Lopesan manages a hotel.
The agency encourages coming to the south of Gran Canaria because "the destinations are likely to be warmer and more expensive. Despite having even cheaper costs per day, flights can increase the overall price," the company points out. An 80 per cent increase in the energy price cap from October has been confirmed in the UK which could take the average UK household's gas and electricity bill to €4,116 a year. The next rise between January and March could see it shoot up to 5.799 euros.
