The government’s Tourism Recovery Plan has come under fire from senior industry leaders, who voiced their frustrations over its “lack of tangible policies”.

Awaze, Hoseasons' parent company, reported that bookings are up by 82% compared to 2019 for next summer and up 62% for the whole of 2022

Staycations are here to stay, according to Adido

The Save Future Travel Coalition - comprising 16 trade organisations and associations including Abta, Advantage, Aito, Clia, the SPAA and TTNG - has written to culture secretary Oliver Dowden following the report’s publication last month, branding its outlook “disappointing”.

Concerns were also raised with a statement in the plan describing how ministers aimed to “embrace” current restrictions on overseas travel as an “opportunity” by “boosting domestic demand”.
