According to Travel Counsellors, volumes of new bookings in the UK are now running at levels comparable with 2019, with recent changes to the UK’s travel rules fuelling strong half-term sales.
Moreover, the positive outlook for Travel Counsellors coincides with the government confirming plans to replace Day 2 PCR testing for UK arrivals with cheaper lateral flow tests, a move that is expected to further aid travel’s recovery.
In Ireland, meanwhile, booking volumes have now overtaken 2019 levels for the same time of the year.
