Uncertainty around international travel is "still rife" amongst UK travellers, with less than a third saying they would consider going on holiday this year.

According to a survey of 2,000 UK holidaymakers, run by Eurofins Covid Testing Services (ECTS), only 28% have considered going abroad this year.

However, it also revealed that more than half of respondents (52%) stated they have saved up more for their return to international travelling than they would have done pre-Covid.

 
As a result, more than half of UK holidaymakers have more than £2,500 reportedly stashed-away for their next overseas break.


Despite their savings and willingness to eventually travel again, ECTS said travellers are still "held back by ever-changing travel requirements and concerns on safety".
