It comes after the homeworking agency experienced record-breaking sales for a second month in a row in April, exceeding pre-pandemic levels. 
 
Findings from a recent customer survey showed 75% of customers are confident to travel and 50% of respondents are planning two or more holidays abroad this year, with 25% saying they are "willing and able" to spend more on their getaways.
 
In April, UK leisure sales performed at 136% compared to 2019 levels and corporate bookings – largely from SMEs – outperformed at 133% on 2019.
