That’s according to a new study from Holiday Extras which claimed the spread of the Omicron variant had made “virtually no impact” on holidaymakers’ travel plans.
It was however “the faff and confusion” brought about by the government reinstating red list countries and increasing testing measures which was harming public appetite to take trips abroad.
When comparing its latest survey results to those from September, Holiday Extras found the presence of Omicron "had not dampened travellers’ sprits".
In September 92% of the 1,500 consumers who had flown since 2019 92% said they had plans to travel abroad in 2022 - which has remained high in December at 90%
