Travel Counsellors saw demand return to pre-pandemic levels last week, with the government’s decision to end pre-departure testing on Friday (7 January) fuelling a "sunshine Saturday" sales surge.

The homeworking giant said levels of new enquiries and bookings in the week beginning 3 January were both up more than 200% week-on-week, with enquiries hitting their highest level since the start of the pandemic.


A quarter of all Travel Counsellors’ Easter enquiries are currently for the US, while more than half of all new summer holiday enquiries are for the US, Greece and Spain.


More than a quarter of clients (27%) are looking to travel immediately, said Travel Counsellors, with the UAE, the US, the Maldives and Spain proving most popular among those looking to get away this month or in February.
