UK travel agent Hays Travel has reported a “big uplift” in city break holiday bookings, according to .
They said this was due to customers having already secured a summer holiday and were now looking to book a second or third break in addition.
Speaking at the last week, the company's bosses - chair Dame Irene Hays, and chief operating officer Jonathon Woodall also reported “a very definite desire for people to travel further and to spend more money”.
Of course, foreign holidays are still banned for Brits, with the
government reviewing the ban on April 12 and borders reopening no
earlier than May 17.

summer, but several countries are in talks with the UK government about travel corridors.

At the Travel Weekly Forum, Hays Travel's chief operating officer Jonathon Woodall said: "On the back of easyJet Holidays announcing its cities programme for 2022, we’ve got all these customers that have had their holiday cancelled three or four times, so they’ve already got, say, the summer 2021 or even 2022 sorted."
"We’ve customers now saying, ‘we’ve already got that booked and it’s paid for’, and they’re going on and booking their second or sometimes third holiday, which is the cities."
"That’s something that we’ve not seen within our business before, but cities has definitely uplifted towards the back end of last week and looking at the figures today, we’re seeing that continue."
As it stands, holidays in England can go ahead at self-contained holiday lets from April 12, so long as coronavirus rates continue to fall.
