When is the best time to book my Summer Holidays? I have the feeling that prices went up when I booked’, That’s what an expat friend asked me the other day. In January the travel industry likes to secure their cash flow. That’s why you see a lot of promo’s in commercials and advertisements on television and in the newspapers. This is the moment Dutchies traditionally book their summer holidays. The Vakantiebeurs, held in Utrecht, is the place where the travel industry and consumers meet every first month of the year.
