The majority of over-50s will be confident to book and travel again once they have received the Covid-19 vaccine.

Older travellers want to make up for the trips they missed due to the pandemic

A study by Advantage Travel Partnership and Silver Travel Advisor found 77% of over-50s would travel again within the next six months after being vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Even more encouraging for the trade is that nearly half (46%) planned to travel “as much as possible” once they are allowed to.

Another positive is that 60% of respondents said their budget for holidays would remain the same while 26% planned to spend more to make up for the breaks they have missed during the pandemic.
