Black Friday sales hit record highs in 2022, with online sales up 2.3% compared to 2021. But Black Friday is just the start of sales season. January gives hoteliers another chance to create a serious spike in room bookings.

That said, the January Sales season has already begun, Triptease search data has already seen a 26% increase in searches for hotels from Boxing Day.
