Travel can turn around negative perceptions of the industry and the travel experience this summer to avoid a knock-on effect on peaks sales next year.

As of November, flights from the UK to the US have recovered to 92% of 2019 levels

Brits are continuing to prioritise spend on travel

Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer told TTG’s Agenda 2022 seminar it was within travel’s power to trumpet a positive, reassuring messaging.


"If we can keep the messaging going through the summer into winter and next summer’s booking season that the [post-Covid] problems are being resolved, I’m confident it won’t have a damaging effect on confidence for next year’s bookings, which we obviously want to avoid," said Tanzer.
