Why are many of our customers already booking their 2025 summer trip?
At Caractère, we're seeing more customers than usual booking their summer travel for next year. Why is this? Many booked too late last summer and were unable to stay at the hotel or destination of their choice. This year, they don't want to run that risk and are booking their vacations in advance to be sure of their place.
Still not convinced or preferring to book at the last minute? Then read our five reasons why booking in advance is a wise choice, so that you too can ensure your ideal vacation in the shortest possible time!
1. Booking early is often cheaper
Many travellers think that a last-minute booking is cheaper, but this is not always the case. For boutique hotels, like those in our collection, prices often rise as the departure date approaches. By booking early, you'll benefit from the best rates and avoid unpleasant surprises.
2. Wide choice of the best rooms
Early bookers have the widest choice. Boutique hotels have fewer rooms, which means that the most sought-after rooms are the first to be booked. If you wait too long, only the most expensive or least advantageous rooms will remain.
3. Better prices for flights and car rentals
Not only are hotels fully booked, but so are flights and rental cars. The last seats on the plane and the last rental cars are often the most expensive. By booking now, you ensure the best options at normal rates.
4. You have more time to plan your vacations
Booking in advance not only gives you peace of mind, it also gives you more time to organize your vacation to perfection. Whether you want to book a special restaurant, a unique excursion or simply discover the best places in the area, you have all the time you need to prepare in the best possible way. Caractère is there to help you with personalized advice and reservations. So everything is organized well in advance, and all you have to do is count the time.
5. And if there are no more vacations 😉
Just imagine: you've waited too long to make a reservation and... poof, all the places are gone! Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but in a world where our hotels are also popular with international travelers, the risk of everything selling out is very real. Why take that risk when you can book your vacation right now?
