Holiday firms report busiest Saturday EVER as Brits hunt bargains before 'traffic lights' go-ahead
firms have now revealed today is their busiest ever Saturday as lockdown Brits hope to sniff out a bargain.
Andrew Flintham, Managing Director of TUI UK & Ireland, said: "Holidays to Spain and Greece looking the most popular this summer."Trailfinders is also trying to attract Brits to villas that would have been booked up months ago with prices slashed by a third.And Airbnb revealed that daily domestic bookings on the accomodation site had doubled from Monday to Tuesday alone.
Rachel O’Reilly, spokesperson for Kuoni travel agency said, the call centre had seen a "very positive" increase in the number of enquiries today."Today definitely seems to be the beginning of the return."And an easyJet spokesperson said: "At this stage it is too early to tell whether there has been an impact on bookings but we suspect this is limited as we, and our customers, are yet to see the details of what is proposed.
The U-turn comes three weeks after the Government said all returning Brits, and visitors to the UK, must quarantine for 14 days.He said: “The reality is the Government has abandoned air bridges for this traffic-light system. This symbolises the made-up policy, lack of visibility and a lack of clarity which is hurting our industry every day. Why are decisions being pushed back further?
The traffic light system has been drawn up by the Joint Biosecurity Centre and Public Health England.
