The Glasgow-based agency said booking numbers have increased steadily since major travel restrictions were eased in January. Last week, the firm’s booking levels were 25% higher than the same period in 2019, with enquiry numbers reaching the highest point since before the pandemic.
 
More than half of new bookings are for summer 2022 while a growing number of holidaymakers are simultaneously booking trips for 2023 and 2024 in a bid to secure prices.
