Background
The cost of a holiday for families in school holidays are incredibly expensive and many families can’t afford to take their children on holidays to experience new things and cultures.
Not only do families need this quality time together, they need the opportunity to be able to afford it and give their children these quality experiences. If you look at company websites and compare the cost between term time and school holidays you can clearly see there is problem. Something needs to change.
