Almost three in ten Irish holidaymakers are booking their next getaway before the new year has even begun according to new booking figures from Click&Go Holidays. The figures reveal that 26.7pc of customers travelling in 2025 had booked their holiday by 31 December 2024. That figure rose to 28.5pc among customers travelling in 2026 highlighting a growing appetite among Irish holidaymakers to plan ahead and secure their trips early.
With 2027 holiday planning already underway Click&Go Holidays is encouraging consumers to get ahead of the rush. The company highlighted five reasons to book early including securing a getaway with a deposit from as little as €1 on selected holidays, spreading the cost with flexible monthly payment plans, getting first pick of flights, hotels and rooms and avoiding missing out on the most popular dates. Early booking discounts and special offers can also help holidaymakers secure added value.
Co-Founder and Director Paul Hackett reported that more and more Irish holidaymakers are recognising the benefits of getting their holidays booked early. He reported it really is a case of the early bird catching the worm with the earlier you book the better the choice of flights, hotels and travel dates available. He advised that if customers know where they want to go and when they want to travel they should not leave it until the last minute as the most popular hotels and peak travel dates are always in demand.
