Data published by the Personal Travel Consultants in partnership with Blue Bay Travel (PTCs) shows that bookings soared 30% in April and May compared to the previous two months – a sign that holidaymakers are waiting to have enough money available before committing to a holiday.
"We’re not sure whether the bank holidays have played a role in the recent peak in bookings, but we feel confident that the cost of living crisis is causing a surge in the late booking market,” said PTCs sales manager Abbie Heaton.
