Costa del villas - X-Factor villa boosts Marbella searches: "number of holidaymakers looking for deals in the Costa del Sol city of Marbella has shot up following the airing of the recent X-Factor show that featured Simon Cowell’s luxury Marbella holiday villa.
The episode shown two weeks ago showed short-listed contestants sing for a place in the live TV finals. The boot camps took place in a number of destinations including Marbella in Spain, Shannon in Ireland and Sydney in Australia.
Online travel comparison website Travelsupermarket revealed that searches for the destinations saw a significant boost following the show. Shannon home of Louis Walsh saw the highest increase with the number of flight searches increasing by a staggering 83%. Package holiday searches in Marbella saw similar increases of 45% .
Peter Smith, from Travelsupermarket.com, said “This X Factor effect is nothing new, people love to be inspired by films, TV and celebrities for their holidays. It often opens up a whole new world of possibilities that people might not have considered before. We all have our daydreams of visiting the beautiful places we see on screen, but it seems that we are living the dream and visiting these places for real.'
Marbella is famous for its high quality holiday villas and although something the size of Simon Cowell’s is out of most peoples budgets there are still plenty of luxury villas available at competitive rates."
