Bookings departing between 18 and 28 December are up 44% year-on-year and since the start of October nearly a third (30%) of all bookings made have been for travel during Christmas.
Advantage chief executive Julia Lo Bue-Said also highlighted recent Barclays data, which showed that year-on-year spending with travel agents increased by 9.2% last month and how the sector has now recorded double-digit growth in 11 of the past 12 months.
