Rejected petition Make a law that travel companies cannot increase holiday prices out of term time
School staff are forever being penalised for only being able to go on holiday out of term time. Travel companies take advantage of this and almost double the price of holidays when it is school holidays. How can this be allowed to happen.
More details
Travel companies do not hide the fact that they do this as you can make a direct comparison on their websites to find out how much you would save if you could go in term time. Teachers and school staff are under a lot of pressure in their roles and being able to take a holiday per year without it costing double the price may help this pressure.
