Holiday prices for the Caribbean fall

Holiday prices for the Caribbean fallCastries, Saint Lucia  - Holidaying in the Caribbean this winter season has never been so cheap, said Hugh Riley, General Secretary of the Caribbean Tourism Organization.

Riley said internet bookings have proved some of the biggest bargains for holidaymakers.

It is also worth enquiring at hotels and airlines whether they are offering any discounts to their customers.

Holidaymakers from the United States are encountering savings of up to 50 per cent. "But European holidaymakers are also seeing some very inexpensive offers," says Riley.
