Luxury tour operator Turquoise Holidays has declared next Tuesday 16 December to be 'Turquoise Tuesday' with an additional 5% discount off all holidays including all late availability and special holiday offers shown on their website, www.turquoiseholidays.co.uk

The huge range of outstanding holiday deals includes many existing late availability and early booking offers as well as one-off holidays such as a 'Get Fit in Antigua' holiday in January.  The additional 5% discount will be valid only for holidays quoted and booked on Turquoise Tuesday, which will commence at 9 am on Tuesday 16 December and run through to 530 pm.

With late travel offers ranging from £2500 off a Christmas Safari-Beach holiday and £1000 off a seven night holiday to St Lucia from 6 January, Turquoise Tuesday is a sure-fire way to brighten up the January blues.  However many of the offers have travel dates valid through much of 2015, such as a £550 saving on a holiday in Bali over Easter and £3800 off a holiday to Tahiti valid for travel until 30 June, making Turquoise Tuesday a great opportunity to plan for the half terms, Easter and Summer holidays.

 James Bell, marketing director at Turquoise says: “It's the silly season, so we are offering fantastic holidays at silly prices on one day only. This is the tourism industry's answer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  What a great present to hang on the Christmas tree – tickets to the Maldives and a couple of weeks in an overwater bungalow, or a family safari-beach holiday, all wrapped up in our distinctive blue ribbon. January is traditionally the time for the holiday sale, so Turquoise Tuesday is effectively a 'sale preview' and the chance to bag the best bargains first – and  get a further 5% discount on top.”

 Turquoise Holidays specialises in luxury beach resorts, private islands, family holidays and honeymoons throughout The Caribbean, Indian Ocean, South Pacific and Tahiti, Australasia, the Middle East and Africa.
