A new survey of nearly 400 Travel Counsellors’ clients has revealed that while they are keen to travel this year or next, many are seeking more flexibility in their bookings than ever before.

More than 50% of respondents said they felt optimistic about booking a UK or international holiday departing this year or next, with 30% of those booked to travel overseas later this year still hopeful they will be able to travel.


However, their confidence doesn’t come at the expense of several ongoing concerns about travel; 70% of respondents said they were seeking clarification on quarantine restrictions in the UK and their proposed destination, as well as further information on health and safety measures being implemented by airports, airlines and accommodation providers in-destination.
