UK Holidaymakers prove they just can’t wait to get away again

2 min read

It’s no secret that we love our holidays in the UK. In 2019 alone we took over 93 million trips abroad.

But did you know that there are over 60 million holidays taken in the UK every year as well?

So it’s no surprise to see UK holiday demand explode now that lockdown restrictions are starting to ease. There’s been a huge surge of ‘Staycation’ bookings happening, with Sky reporting as many as 1 every 11 seconds.

And the BBC are reporting on locations where ‘the phone hasn’t stopped ringing’...

And this is all before the expected announcement of travel restrictions being eased to foreign destinations.

You could be making the most of this travel boom right now

Brand new franchisees like Laura and Faye are making the most of the pent-up demand, making holiday bookings already.

After being furloughed post-COVID-19, Laura was able to focus more of her time in the early stages of starting a travel business.

The timing was perfect. I have 2 children one 14 and the other 16 years old, they don’t need me as much as they once did, and kind of do their own thing. I have more flexibility, I felt like this is my time now.

I’ve always lived for my holidays. I had friends and family ask me about helping them with their holidays. It all just slotted into place, it was a no-brainer to have a travel business to call my own and pursue a passion.
