Press Release: 15th January 2016 – for Monday 18th January (no embargo)
In a recent piece of research looking at people's holiday habits, including when in the year people are most likely to take their holiday, online travel agent, Travel Republic, can reveal that 23rd January 2016, is Holiday Equinox, the day which the average Brit becomes closer to their next holiday than to their last!
The majority of holiday-makers take one main holiday a year, typically in the summer, so discounting city breaks or secondary winter holidays/UK trips, once January the 23rd arrives, you are nearer to your main sun holiday – which is a good thing, seeing as we all know how horribly quickly holiday memories fade upon return!
This blue Monday (18th January) Travel Republic wants everyone to know that in just five days, they will have gone through the worst of it, with Holiday Equinox finally here!
Naomi Wilkinson, Marketing Director, Travel Republic comments, “Blue Monday is branded the most depressing day of the year, when a host of factors including, weather, daylight hours and post-Christmas money worries culminate, to leave people feeling down, but we are excited to be able to announce an antidote. A ray of light at the end of the dark January tunnel. We really hope that if people know Holiday Equinox is just on the horizon, it will help to lift their spirits!
Wilkinson continues, “Everyone will have heard of spring and autumn equinox, when the hours of daylight verses darkness are equal. Everyone looks forward to the days getting longer and being nearer to the day with the longest hours of daylight (and hopefully sun), well this is the holiday equivalent!”
