Do you know why it’s called Black Friday?
Although we now associate Black Friday with special offers and big discounts, the origin of the name is quite different.
The expression first came into use in Philadelphia, in the United States, during the 1950s and 1960s. The local police used the term to describe the chaos that ensued on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Thousands of people would flock to the city to do their Christmas shopping and attend the traditional American football match between the Army and the Navy, causing crowds, traffic jams and long working days for the local police.
Over time, though, retailers began to associate the expression with something more positive. In accounting terms, losses were traditionally represented by red figures, while profits were recorded in black, which gave rise to the popular explanation that, thanks to increased sales, businesses moved from being ‘in the red’ to being ‘in the black’.
While this interpretation has little to do with the historical origin of the expression, it certainly helped to transform Black Friday into the major commercial event we know today.
How Black Friday is experienced these days
What began as a major shopping day in the United States has been transformed into an international phenomenon.
Nowadays Black Friday is one of the most eagerly awaited dates for anyone wishing to acquire products, purchase services, or book experiences at special rates.
Furthermore, the phenomenon is no longer limited solely to the Friday after Thanksgiving. Many brands extend their campaigns over several days, offer early access to their customers, or extend their promotions until Cyber Monday.
Online shopping has also completely transformed the way we experience this event, as it’s no longer necessary to trawl through shops, queue for hours, or wait for shops to open. Nowadays it’s possible to compare options and book from anywhere in the world using a mobile phone or a computer.
As far as the tourism sector is concerned, Black Friday presents a particularly attractive opportunity, as instead of just buying a particular item, you can invest in something that will stay with you for much longer: an experience.
Booking a getaway during this promotion can help you secure special prices, plan your holiday in advance, and gain access to a wider range of rooms and dates.
It’s also a great opportunity to upgrade your category, extend your stay, or discover a destination that previously seemed out of your reach.
That said, before booking, it’s always worth checking the travel dates, the minimum stay required, the terms and conditions for changes or cancellations, and the services included. Once you’ve checked these details, all that’s left to do is choose your destination and start the countdown.
The most Caribbean-style destinations for your Black Friday getaway
1. Punta Cana: the timeless paradise
Twenty-two kilometres of white sand beaches, palm trees arching over a sea of infinite shades of blue, and a vibe that hits you the moment you get off the plane.
Punta Cana, on the east coast of the Dominican Republic, is the perfect destination for everyone: families looking for endless fun, couples dreaming of a fairytale honeymoon, groups of friends keen to party, and travellers who simply want to unwind in luxurious surroundings.
