The new data showed travel agents (6.4%), airlines (2.8%) and hotels, resorts and accommodation (3.3%) all saw growth in June compared to May as holidaymakers booked getaways for the summer.
However, more of the nation (91%) are concerned about the negative impact of rising household bills on their personal finances. Consumers are also feeling less optimistic about their ability to live within their means (66% versus 71% in May).
Senior travel specialist for payment service provider BR-DGE Emily Whalley said the data shows the UK travel industry’s recovery is "gaining pace" as operators benefit from an "impressive surge" in demand for flights and holidays.
