The travel association revealed the increase in holidaymakers’ likelihood of booking through the travel trade in its new report, Travel in 2022, which predicts a range of trends for next year.
The main reasons to use travel professionals were for guidance on Covid travel requirements (47%) and the security of booking a package holiday (46%).
This change was particularly pronounced among younger age groups, with two-thirds of 18- to 24-year-olds now more likely to book through the trade than they were pre-Covid.
