German holidaymakers are being offered the chance to pre-book their sun loungers, saving themselves the early morning chore of heading to the poolside with a beach towel to reserve their desired spot.
Thomas Cook, the travel company, is giving German tourists the option of paying ahead for their loungers when they book their Mediterranean package holiday.
At a cost of three euros a day Germans will be able to pay in advance for their lounger and beach umbrella.
Up to nine hotels have joined the programme run by the Thomas Cook's German business in an attempt to stop perceived "beach towel wars" between Germans and holidaymakers of other nationalities.
The scheme is currently only open to winter holidays booked in Germany and Thomas Cook is offering the option at hotels in Turkey, Egypt, and the Canary Islands.
A spokesperson for Thomas Cook said, "As part of a promotion to holidaymakers in Germany, pre-bookable sun chairs are being offered as part of an upgrade package following positive feedback to a successful initiative by a small number of hotels.
