FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 13, 2009 -- The prices on holiday lettings are extremely low and especially if you are a family of 4 – 6 persons you will be able to find very good offers and even more if you have the coolness to wait till last minute – then you can actually save the half of your flight tickets.

According www.spain-holiday.com which offers private holiday villas all over Spain, they have seen a change in trend this year compared to recent years, when their clients usually have booked their holiday apartment in the first 3 months of the year, then 2009 was different, as customers were away due to the economic crisis. This also gave cause for concern among homeowners, and they started dumping the prices. Now showing statistics from www.spain-holiday.com that customers have not been away, they book their holidays in the last minute. Therefore, they have seen a rapid growth in queries in April at 43%, 64% on May and June of 96% compared to 2008.

It is important not to compare private holiday homes with hotels. Renting a holiday apartment can be compared with a do-it-yourself vacation, because you will have to cook and shop – just like home and therefore it is not fair to compare it with hotels which many consider as luxury. Especially the opportunity to cook and shop gives you big savings compared to eating out 3 times a day. You may save up to 70% on these costs and thereby you have the savings for the airline tickets.

As earlier mentioned you can even get a greater economic benefit if you have the coolness to wait until the last minute. Searching on Last Minute deals might give you a huge discount.

www.globalcitybreak.co.uk gives you the opportunity of renting a luxury penthouse of 120 km2 in Malaga city with 3 bedrooms and private terrace for 6 people for 95 Euros per day. That is 16 Euros per day each person.

In low season, which depends on the area, there are super offer which is comparable to prices in a hostel and on top of it you get an apartment of high quality. An example from the same company is a beach apartment in Barcelona for 2 people to 73 Euros per day in October.
