Summer Holiday Travel Searches On The Rise

Following on from our blog posted in April  'Holiday 'Window' Shopping Increases as People Stay at Home!'
We have seen that as the lock-down is starting to ease, people are getting hopeful about Summer holidays  and searching for this summer. Many countries are starting to invite tourists back and once we are able to travel on holiday again we will be booking that long awaited break.
There are still restrictions in place for traveling within the UK and abroad and it is still unclear when people will be able to travel on holiday. The situation in constantly changing and being updated by the UK Government on traveling.
How we travel will change, stays in hotels and resorts will be different with social distancing and special measures being brought in to keep everyone safe. It will still be fantastic to go on holiday again just a little different. 
The number of searches increasing is great to see and it shows that we are all feeling positive and still want to have the lovely holiday somewhere special.
