Hello everyone,


I hope you are all safe and feeling more positive with the latest lifting of some restrictions.


March and April provided more bookings than I had anticipated, the majority being for 2022, with the first quarter being extremely popular; I even have bookings going into 2023.

 

With offers for next year and onwards, more flexibility, and low deposits, it certainly helps with peace of mind and so many of us want to plan and have something to look forward to.


This was certainly the case for me, booking a 3-bedroom villa in Cyprus with my husband, children, and their partners for next May. We have never experienced a European villa holiday and decided that having spent so little time together over the last year, this would be a great way to catch up on some much-needed quality family time. I can’t wait!


Although the eagerly awaited traffic light update for travel to and from the UK was a little anti-climactic, there is a more optimistic outlook for summer holidays on the horizon, with more destinations hopefully being added to the green list over the coming weeks - but it is not as straightforward as we would have hoped.


The picture will change as time progresses and I will of course be keeping up to date with the very latest information and guidance for those wishing to travel sooner rather than later.

 

After the latest announcement, my industry associates at Travel Gossip have produced a very helpful graphic.

With several of the countries on the small initial green list not having their borders open to visitors and not many enquiries for the Sandwich Islands, Portugal would currently appear to offer the best potential short-term options with UK visitors now welcomed. Although there are restrictions and requirements for both pre and post travel, at least you won’t have to self-isolate on return to the UK.


With overseas travel still quite unpredictable, several clients have been looking for UK staycations and something a bit different.
 
I have one on the horizon, visiting the beautiful Lake District with stays in Durham and Manchester either side to explore great English cities as well as the stunning scenery of the lakes.


Finally, my first online client event was a great success and I now feel confident about holding more. To help me decide which, please let me know if there is a destination that you are interested in travelling to and would like to learn more about.


Wishing you all a super summer ahead with hopefully some sunshine to come soon!


As always, thanks for your support and let’s hope things continue to get brighter and more positive.
