Holidaymakers are seeking the reassurance that packages provide as they return to leisure travel post-Covid, according to Emirates Holidays.

The operator said it had seen a "triple-digit jump" in bookings for the first half of the year, fuelled by renewed demand for packages.


Emirates said as popular destinations had resumed "normal operations", there had been a "strong customer preference" for holiday packages.


Consumers, the operator said, were turning to package bookings for the assurance of professional travel advice, flexible booking policies, complete financial protection and support throughout their journey.


It said demand was particularly strong for Dubai, its core beach destinations such as Mauritius, the Maldives and the Seychelles, and for once-in-a-lifetime trips to Asia.
