Now on the flip side if you find an agent that offers 4 quotes from 4 various tour operators then there is not much point in going to another travel agent to try and get the exact same quotes, what I am saying is the various operators have different specials not various travel agents – generally speaking, so for Mauritius you have the likes of Club Med, Beach comber, Naide, Movenpick and the likes – some with availability and some not. Also note that some operators will say you have left it late – well in a nut shell you have to have the full range however not to late to say we cannot assist you – if you get this response then find another agent. Some operators have flight location for some prime flying times – so ask around – shop around the operators not the agents – bottom line shop the various resorts as you do certainly have a plethora of options in Mauritius and yes there is still availability, not everywhere however there is still space for that December / New year vacation.

If you an operator and have allocation - drop me a mail and I will create a post with Dec availability in Mauritius to assist you in selling the seats and the viewers in getting away for Dec.

We are fully booked for that period of stay all our resorts.

Yes by all means I have left it really late to decide to take the family away and get some holiday time away in between Xmas and new year. The dates I requested was from the 26 Dec to the 02 Jan. They have half a dozen resorts. The fullness does not stop there another holiday option was Port Alfred. I have emailed numerous places and only found 2 cottages that had availability. So has the recession not hit South Africa? Or has it hit and people have opted for a local holiday this year?

Judging by the prices of flights and the usual fullness of flights between mid December and middle January one can certainly say that the recession has certainly not frozen December holiday vacations. If you would like to fly to London for December and come back before Christmas then you must be prepared to fork out at least R10 000 for a return ticket, if not more depending on the dates you need to travel. Early jan the flights to Europe are not out to disappoint with regards to charging premium fares, if you want a one way ticket to fly to London on the 05th January 2010 you will be paying in excess of R11 000 yes that is for a one way ticket!

There are still bargains to be had over December have a look at these specials from Club Med for December / that is all inclusive! Click here for the specials.
