Just over half (54%) of respondents to the poll said they believed that the 12 December vote was harming travel sales, and the view from the high street was similarly mixed.
Steve Cartwright, owner of Cardiff-based Cartwright Travel, said his shop was thriving. “We are full-on,” he added. “Peaks are 12 months a year now, there is no let-up for us at the moment.”
He added 2019 has seen sales increase 220% on 2018, with November up 30% on the same month last year.
By contrast, Frances Peake, joint owner of Peakes Travel Elite in Shrewsbury, said December had been “quiet”.
