A WEST FIFE travel agent has revealed that holidaymakers are already booking their 2025 trips. 

Barrhead Travel in Dunfermline has reported double-digit growth for summer departures so far compared to last year’s record figures – making it another record-breaking summer for the firm.

Leigh-Ann Osoria, the store manager, said: “This summer, we’ve really seen a boom in bookings as the weather at home has been consistently poor. People are eager to see the sunshine and spend quality time with their families.

“There’s been great value-for-money on offer abroad – particularly in all-inclusive resorts and cruise holidays. It’s clear that holidays are still a spending priority, and customers are turning to local agents to seek advice, enjoy the best quality and price, and secure financial protection.

“Consistently over the past few weeks, a significant percentage of new bookings have been for summer 2025 getaways as people turn their attention to next year. Holidaymakers are booking earlier than ever in order to lock in their preferred destinations at early-bird prices - we expect that trend to continue over the coming months.”

With school holidays now over, families are taking advantage of early deals for summer 2025, with 40 per cent of new bookings now for this period.

The current most popular destinations for summer 2025 include:

  • Cruising from Southampton 
  • Mallorca
  • Turkey
  • Greece
  • Canada
  • Tenerife
  • Barcelona
  • Alicante
  • Orlando
