Coach operator National Express has seen a 185% rise in over-65s booking holidays compared with this time in 2020 after launching its spring and summer programme last weekend.
Jit Desai, from National Express, told BBC Breakfast: “Many of them have had their first jab and now and within 12 weeks will receive their second jab. That gives them a level of certainty that they can enjoy and look forward to their 2021 holiday.”
Desai added that National Express had taken “a week’s worth” of bookings in a single day on Monday, compared with the same period last year.
