Everyone wants to get the best travel deals, especially during summer when prices are at an all-time high. According to Skyscanner’s most recent study, 49% of UAE citizens have not yet booked their summer vacation destinations, while 92% of travellers want to travel overseas during this time. In fact, merely 3% of visitors from the UAE avail the cheapest week of summer.
Only 3% UAE Travellers Take Advantage Of The Cheapest Week Of Summer
The most popular times to travel this summer are the first two weeks of July, according to Skyscanner data, but these are not the most affordable times to go. Although 56% of travellers from the UAE stated they are aware that there are less expensive weeks to travel throughout the summer, just 3% of them are really taking advantage of the lowest week this year.
Travellers from the UAE may save an average of 11% by booking during the week of August 12 instead of July 8, according to data from Skyscanner. This translates to savings of up to AED 804 for a family of four. Furthermore, statistics indicated that travellers from the UAE are searching for excellent value offers, with 40% reporting that they are still looking for the best bargain and 22% anticipating a last-minute offer.
