There is a saying in the English language that goes ‘better late than never’. This is most definitely not the case when it comes to booking a holiday! Remember that the early bird catches the worm (or in this case, the room with the best view). No one wants to spend Christmas in the only place that has December holiday accommodation left 5 days before Santa Clause is supposed to arrive…
You might be thinking “Christmas? It’s barely even tax season!”
But sadly while you’re reading this, most of your dream vacation spots are being snatched up by those pesky early birds we mentioned.
If that fact doesn’t scare you into booking your dream December destination right now, maybe these 3 reasons will give you a little more perspective…

1) The international festive threat
Christmas is pretty much the biggest calendar event of the year. It’s not only celebrated by South Africans, but by everyone else in the world. (Or every retail store at least) International arrivals increased by 11.5% from December 2016 to December 2017- which, in short, means there will probably be an increase in the amount of international visitors in December 2018.
We don’t know if this increase is due to the sunny warmth of the country in summer, or the luminous sandy beaches on our coasts, but what we do know is that more and more tourists are pre-booking your dream holiday destination and stealing the room with a view from right under your nose…
2) Creme de la creme of destinations
Finding a destination that caters to everyone in the family can be very difficult, sometimes nearly impossible. Pre-booking eliminates the difficulty of finding the prefect spot as all dream destinations are still available. Not all December holiday accommodation caters for mom, dad, and the kids….
ANEW Resort Ingeli Forest is a great family holiday destination to consider. The resort has so many options to choose from, no family member can ever be bored! From a great putt-putt course, to a full-service Beauty Spa, everyone will be able to indulge in the amazing activities the resort has to offer.
3) Wait, it cost how much?!
In our current economy, the financial benefit of pre-booking your December holiday accommodation is most likely the top persuader. Pre-booking might lead to online discounts for sights you might want to see, discount on various plane tickets- and the most important of all- better rates for your accommodation!
Rooms and accommodation will most likely be the most expensive item on your pay slip, but pre-booking at the right hotel could help you save a mini-fortune.

Moral of the story? ALWAYS Pre-Book!
Alright, we know that most of the time life gets in the way. And planning your holiday doesn’t seem like the top priority. Luckily, most dream destinations have eased your booking pains by including online booking features.
Which means that there is truly no excuse to not pre-book your dream holiday!
