Paying up front for an all-inclusive holiday and buying
online travel insurance are just a couple of ways recession-hit holidaymakers may be able to save money.
According to travel association Abta, consumers are showing increasing interest in all-inclusive deals, with a further surge in demand expected next year.
Sean Tipton, a spokesperson for the travel body, described package deals as one of last year's "massive success stories" for the holiday industry, partly due to the strength of the euro.
He explained: "If you take an all-inclusive holiday, the exchange rate is largely irrelevant because people can pay up front in sterling.
"The pound still doesn't look like it is going to strengthen in the immediate future against the euro so all-inclusives will have another very good year."
His comments were echoed by statistics released by travel operator Monarch Holidays, which revealed bookings for all-inclusive breaks were up by 26.5 per cent this summer.
