October half-term bookings soar after term-time holiday fine announced

Club Med has reported a 108% increase in October half-term bookings in the last week after Labour announced a fine upwards of £160 for term-time holidays.

Club Med Marrakech La Palmeraie is the benefactor of a 297% increase in bookings over the last four weeks; Club Med Cancun and Club Med Seychelles take the second spot with an 80% rise for October half-term demand.

Club Med's managing director for the UK, Ireland & Nordics, Nicolas Bresch, said, "Since the election, we have seen an increased appetite of families looking to book ahead for the October half term. In the last week, bookings have more than doubled, as families look to secure a slice of winter sun during the school holiday in October.

"Club Med Marrakech La Palmeraie and its newly opened Family Oasis is proving to be the most popular resort for the week’s bookings, but longer haul options such as Cancun and the Seychelles have also seen a rise in demand."
