Newmarket Holidays has credited its new flexible booking policy and wellbeing charter for a resurgence in consumer confidence, which it says has fuelled a recent sales boost driven by interest in UK breaks and late deals.

Newmarket's Scottish Highland Railways tour has been particularly popular

Agency sales from late-July into early-August have more than doubled month-on-month the operator’s head of trade sales Richard Forde confirmed to TTG, adding Newmarket had used lockdown to carefully plan how it would "bounce back".


Bestselling UK and Ireland tours include Scottish Highland Railways, Historic Railways of the Isle of Man, Belfast and the Titanic Experience, Hebridean Island Adventure, and Donegal and the Giants Causeway.


Forde added resort holidays to Lake Garda in Italy were also proving popular.
