German Pineiro's BlogAdvance sale offers are much more than just discounts that travel wholesalers and retailers have been using for years as a commercial strategy to encourage sales of the long-awaited summer holidays and to invoice before that period. The most determined end customers take advantage of these offers to book and buy their trip much cheaper, as well as ensuring that they will be able to travel to their chosen destination (Who hasn't had the experience of arriving at the last minute and finding that there is no availability to travel to a certain place...).
As for the % discount according to the study carried out, Upitravel Touroperator stands out , a wholesale/retail travel agency that sells to all of Spain (in person, by telephone, via the Internet, etc.) and that offers up to 40% discount on both its vacation packages and the packages of any wholesaler.
They have a very simple business philosophy “ Better Any Offer and offer a totally personalized service ” all of this protected under their guarantee of “ Best Price Guaranteed ” that prestigious companies have plagiarized.
As an example, we have requested a quote for a trip for two people from the reference travel agencies in our country to compare it with the offer from Upitravel and the results were as follows: (The results are shown from most expensive to cheapest)
-Viajes el corte ingles: The most expensive price.
-Viajes Iberia: 2%.
-Atrápalo: 2.7%.
-Halcón Viajes: 3%.
-Viajes Ecuador: 3.4%.
-Viajes Marsans: 4%.
-Grupo Qualitas: 4%.
-Zafiro Tours: 4.1%.
-Viajes Eroski: 4.2%
-LastMinute: 4.2%.
-Logitravel: 4.4%
-Almeida Viajes: 5%.
-Edreams: 6.3%
-Upitravel Touroperator: 13% discount (The cheapest price).
Without a doubt, the most affordable agency of all those included in the study was Upitravel , German Pineiro's Blogand it was also one of the few where we received personalized treatment and were offered a 24-hour telephone (landline, not 902) that we could call at any time to resolve any incident that might arise during our long-awaited vacation trip.

In summary, on a trip worth 1000 euros, with Upitravel we have saved 130 euros , in addition to having the peace of mind that we are dealing with authentic professionals in the tourism sector (Let us not forget the proliferation of false "franchises" in the travel agency sector).
The study cited as an example was carried out just 2 weeks ago and the product selected was the same in all cases (a package trip for two people from a specific wholesaler and the same departure and return days, of course).
Returning to the topic at hand, “ Discounts for advance sales ”, this year the advance sales offers have or have had an objective beyond the advance purchase, beyond selling in advance and making “money” 30, 60, or 90 days before the summer holidays. It is about selling holidays, encouraging people to overcome the fear of the economic crisis and maintaining annual spending on travel, which in the third quarter of the year generates more than half of the sales of tourist products.
German Pineiro's BlogThese discounts are not only intended to help anticipate sales, to try to get people to buy their holidays in April, May or June and for tourist companies to ensure that they do not lose money and reach the profitability threshold (to cover the minimum number of places on charters already paid for, to have the liquidity to pay the salaries of the extra pay in June, to cover the guarantees of the hotel places bought in January, etc.) but they are also being used and have been used to get people to buy “summer holidays” again in 2008.

Its objective would therefore be to also encourage demand for summer holidays, to ward off the spectre of the economic crisis and to get people to consume holiday leisure and not eliminate summer holidays from their budget and family spending (remember that reservations for “ summer holidays ” are those with the highest investment of the year, the longest stay at the destination, therefore the highest spending at the destination as well…).
But this incentive for “Spaniards not to give up the dream of a 7-day summer holiday in the Caribbean because it is too expensive and we are in an economic crisis, and I cannot afford it” I think should be accompanied by some kind of public promotional campaign that would help the Spanish tourism sector (very important for the GDP, and because domestic tourism also counts when it comes to creating jobs, for the sales of Spanish wholesale/retail travel agencies, etc.). At least, some kind of public promotional campaign that would help to ensure that sales do not decrease compared to 2008, and that the costs of promoting summer holiday tourism do not fall only on companies in the form of discounts, which is equivalent to lower and/or minimal profit margins to maintain sales and growth compared to previous years.
In any case, whether now, in advance, or weeks/days before the summer holidays, Spaniards will realise that there is an economic crisis but that we can still afford to travel and spend on holiday leisure. Perhaps by reducing spending, for example by changing “the 10 days in Cancun with All Inclusive” for “the hotel week in Mallorca”.

With this reduction in family spending on holiday leisure, we can fulfil the dream of the long-awaited summer holidays and, in the process, Spanish tourism companies will not suffer more than proportionally from the consequences of the economic crisis (In previous posts I already mentioned the data of the 1000 travel agencies that closed in the last year in our country).
Well, as you know, take advantage of the advance sales discounts if you want to travel at the best price and if you still want to travel at the best guaranteed price, consult Upitravel Touroperator and check the difference in price and service as we have done.
