History and significance of Black Friday

Black Friday is a tradition that originated in the United States and has become one of the most important shopping days around the world. While its origin relates to the celebration of Thanksgiving and the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, it has evolved over time.

Although the term ‘Black Friday’ came into use in the mid-20th century, the origin of the event dates back much earlier.

In the United States, the day after Thanksgiving (celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November) traditionally signified the start of the holiday shopping season, and shops would offer big discounts and promotions in an effort to attract customers.

One of the most popular theories regarding how the name ‘Black Friday‘ came about is that it refers to the fact that many businesses went from ‘in the red’ to ‘in the black’ on the basis of the volume of sales obtained on this day.

According to this theory, Black Friday marked the point at which retailers finally made significant profits after an often difficult year.

Black Friday today

What began as a day of generous discounts in retail shops now encompasses a wide variety of products and services, including one of the most coveted categories, travel.

Black Friday has become the perfect opportunity to look for irresistible deals on flights, accommodation and package holidays, allowing travellers to plan their dream holidays at much more affordable prices.

As part of the event, travel agencies, airlines and hotel chains launch special promotions, often offering discounts of more than 50% for idyllic destinations around the world. As a result, luxury holidays become more accessible and destinations that might normally seem unaffordable become viable options for an unforgettable getaway.

From all-inclusive resorts to exclusive experiences the likes of excursions and aquatic activities, Black Friday allows you to personalise your holiday without worrying about high costs.

The Caribbean, with its white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and tropical climate, is a favourite destination for those wishing to take advantage of Black Friday deals, as its islands and coastlines offer a unique combination of natural beauty, cultural richness, and luxury, making it the ideal place to disconnect from your routine.
