Why should staggering school holidays achieve that much? We would only be talking about one week either way. The total annual cost for the hotel, ie not the holiday company, has to be recouped whatever way you look at things. It is not a school holiday time increase, but a term-time decrease in price.

Whatever mucking about with the school holidays dates, the price will remain the same. There is no cost savings from it to be made by the hotels. The only possible beneficial impact is a lower peak demand for flights. How much unfilled cheaper end demand is there? That would determine any potential small reduction in non-term-time costs. How many people are not currently going on holiday, but would if the price dropped a few %?
