Abta’s Travel Trends 2019 report shows forward sales of packages and accommodation looking healthy and a resurgence of the trusted travel expert, with 45% of 2,000 consumers interviewed saying they felt more confident in booking with a travel professional.
The weak pound prompted 60% to say they booked a package this year because it was the best option for the price. Another key trend is that more than a third – 36% - said they would opt for one travel business over another if its environmental record was better. This compares with 23% saying this in 2014.
