Holiday Booking Surge
Early Booking Advised As Prices Rise At UK Holiday Spots And Reservations Surge
In 2020, last minute travel restrictions throughout the summer prompted scenes of holidaymakers rushing back to the UK before quarantine rules came into force.
Families who are nervous about getting caught up in something similar this summer are opting to stay closer to home for their annual break. As a result, UK holiday parks and campsites are already reporting a huge influx of reservations, therefore holidaymakers looking to take a UK break are encouraged to book soon.
Visit Cornwall boss Malcom Bell recently told the Telegraph that bookings for the holiday hotspot are up as much as 50 per cent, not just because of advance reservations but also from people moving their 2020 holidays to 2021.
Holiday rental company holidaycottages.co.uk reported bookings taken by the company since Saturday 16 January are 85 per cent up compared to the previous week, whilst overall bookings from Easter onwards are currently 37 per cent ahead of where they were at the same point last year.
A number of MPs have already warned about taking precautions if booking a holiday abroad later this year, and advising staying in the UK including Health Secretary Matt Hancock who said: “I’m going to Cornwall. And I have said before I think we’re going to have a great British summer.”
Our advice to the Health Secretary, book early.
