Autumn Holiday 2020: Why Families Should Book Their Holidays In Advance
Demand for travel during the autumn holidays (October 24 – November 3, 2026) has already increased by 3–5% compared to last year. Due to the high concentration of dates, even such a relatively small increase quickly affects the availability of options: the most popular hotels and convenient flights are gradually disappearing from sale.
Where do families plan to go?
Traditionally, the main destinations for family holidays in autumn are Egypt and Turkey. At the same time, interest in Vietnam and China is growing noticeably. Demand for Egypt and Vietnam increased particularly strongly, while the popularity of the UAE declined slightly.
Families have to consider more factors than tourists without children, so suitable options run out faster. Key selection criteria:
- ease of the road;
- availability of a suitable beach;
- food for the child;
- infrastructure at the hotel.
Tourists without children are more likely to focus on excursions, entertainment and unusual routes - their choice is built around impressions, not everyday parameters.
Scarcity of seats and the risks of postponing armor
Already now there is a shortage of good hotels for vacation dates: in a number of popular facilities, sales of certain categories of rooms have been stopped. The expert especially recommends not to delay with bookings to destinations Vietnam, Maldives, Tanzania and Thailand. If a family is tied to specific dates and wants a specific hotel, delay becomes risky.
The average duration of family trips in autumn is 7-10 nights. Early booking helps to save the maximum options: you can choose the right hotel, the right room and a convenient departure time.
Price dynamics and the illusion of “burning” tours
As the holidays approach, the cost of tours gradually increases. At first, more affordable accommodation categories are sold, and mainly expensive options remain on sale. Already, a holiday in late October can cost much more than similar trips in September.
The expert does not advise to count on a large number of burning offers before the holidays. On popular destinations, some hotels go into stop-sale mode, and convenient flights with comfortable departure times are quickly filled.
The common expectation of “suddenly something cheaper will appear closer to the dates” on vacation often works the opposite: as a result, uncomfortable departures, a limited choice of rooms or a completely different hotel remain.
If family travel dates have already been determined, it is better to book in advance. So it will be possible to avoid unnecessary compromises and choose an option that will suit the whole family.
