Independent travel agency A1 Travel is expecting an influx of bookings for package holidays to Turkey after it was revealed that the country’s currency, the Turkish Lira, has plunged to new lows.

(TRAVPR.COM) TURKEY - January 31st, 2014 - Travellers are expected to snap up remaining spaces for package holidays so they can take advantage of the more attractive rates for their travel money.

Some holidaymakers are choosing to put down a deposit on a holiday before buying their travel money, switching their priorities to achieve the best value for money. They are able to pay the remaining balance of the holiday later, in line with their deposit agreement.

In light of this, A1 Travel is issuing a reminder to customers who are wishing to travel to Turkey this summer as they have highlighted the fact that Visa rules are changing in the coming months.

As of April 10, 2014, all UK passport holders will have to obtain a Visa before they travel to the country - prices will also be rising to £15 in line with the change. A1 Travel has decided to simplify the process for customers by offering a Visa service for £20 per booking, in addition to the cost of the Visa itself.

A1 Travel are the only travel agency offering this service at the current time, something which could draw the attention of customers who are unsure of the procedure to get a Visa themselves.

A1 Travel Director, Chetan Patel, said: “A1 Travel offer some of the most competitive prices on the market, and our staff also have a wealth of knowledge on all destinations featured. We believe that we can provide customers with an excellent one stop service in which to arrange all of their travel plans, without any added hassle.”

Patel continued: “People travel overseas to get away from it all and relax, so we try to do all that we can to help our customers as soon as they decide to book a holiday with us. This is why we are offering our new Turkish travel Visa service, especially with the expected influx of bookings due to the current exchange rates.”
