Hughes’ comments come as the independent travel company reports a further 20% increase in new bookings for winter 2021/22, with the top destinations being the USA, Maldives and Barbados.
"Our latest stats show that customers are booking well ahead, which may bring a potential capacity issue for summer 2022, as holidaymakers are booking their holidays now instead of early in January," Hughes added.
Travel Counsellors latest statistics also show that 16% of new holiday bookings made during the week commencing 26 July through the company were for Greek destinations. Spain and UK staycations made up 15% of bookings.
