Blue Bay said it had seen the rise when comparing sales data during the five weeks before and after the government announced quarantine-free travel for fully vaccinated Brits (10 June-15 July against 15 July-19 August).
The operator claimed “consistent enquiries and bookings” to both red and amber list countries since the announcement – including an 87% uplift in bookings to amber destinations.
Post-announcement, the winter 2021/22 season accounted for 31% of red list bookings and 38% of amber list holidays.
