Not allow holiday companies to increase prices during school holiday periods.
Ban holiday companies from increasing their prices at school holiday times and be consistent during the year. For a typical family of four a holiday during school holidays can increase by 100%. This is totally unfair and discriminates families with children.
Many families feel the only way they can afford a holiday is to take their children out of school during term time. Whilst parents understand this can have an impact on a child's education, time spent as a family away from the stresses and strains of everyday life is highly valuable to a family.
Government and local councils have implemented fines for families who do this, however, this is not a deterrent, as it is often cheaper to pay the fine, and take a cheaper holiday in term time.
