The agency’s stores will welcome back customers with “strict” social distancing measures, personal protective equipment for staff and increased cleaning procedures in place.

Protective screens have also been installed at desks and customers are being encouraged to pay by card.

Stewart Travel’s Belfast branch will reopen 11 July (Saturday), while its agencies located in Scottish shopping centres open their doors on 13 July.

Director of retail Linda Boyd said: “While it might take a little longer to get into store, once inside, customers will be able to discuss their holiday needs with our friendly and knowledgeable travel experts as usual.

"We are also asking customers to respect the measures we have put in place to allow for social distancing and to help ensure that the in-store experience at Stewart Travel is an enjoyable, and safe one for everyone."
