CV Villas' business for next year's shoulder seasons is outperforming the traditional peak summer window – and it believes agents are driving this change.

CV Villas said the shoulder season bookings increase is highest in places like Puglia

The operator has praised agents for their efforts to educate their clients on the benefits of travelling outside peak booking periods, which is translating into strong business for the specialist.

It follows a 30% year-on-year increase in June bookings. Demand for late-summer and autumn is also up, with bookings for September up by 21% year-on-year and October +30%.

CV Villas, which specialises in villa holidays to Europe, North Africa, the Caribbean and southeast Asia, has pinned the uptick on its focus on the trade.
