Tui expects biggest booking day since Covid this weekend

The biggest booking day for travel since the swine flu epidemic was predicted by the UK's largest travel firm.

The combination of the January pay day and the recent government announcement of a relaxation of Covid restrictions will cause a weekendbumper.

The easing of domestic Covid rules this week and the relaxation of testing rules for travel from February 11 have contributed to the growing confidence of holidaymakers to book, according to Tui.

The chief marketing officer said that overseas travel is back on the map with renewed confidence.

Customers who have not been abroad for more than two years are taking advantage of flexible booking and payment options, as well as some excellent deals, to book a well-deserved summer break.

The convenience and assurance of a package has never been more important.
