Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

(Αν θέλεις να σε επαινούν, μάθε πρώτα να λες καλά λόγια, και αφού μάθεις να λες καλά λόγια, να κάνεις καλές πράξεις, και τότε θα ακούς καλά λόγια για εσένα).

Skyscanner details traveller reaction to latest government traveller announcement

 

Spain and UAE top booked destinations on Skyscanner on 4th August – Malaga, Dubai, Palma, Alicante, Tenerife*, with approximately 2 passengers on average per booking which could indicate mostly couples', friends' leisure travel.

  • +35% increase in bookings by UK travellers compared to the same day the previous week (28.07 v 04.08)**
  • +55% increase in bookings to France (compared to the same day the previous week) 
  • +42% increase in bookings to Spain (compared to the same day the previous week) 

Travellers looking on Skyscanner are keen to get away within the next 30 days before the summer ends with short booking horizons*** 

  • On average, 60% of UK travellers are booking trips in August for a week or less**** 

Eyes on Dubai:
Skyscanner saw a +213% increase in searches to Dubai for travel in 2021 (on 4th August compared to the previous day)***** 

Laura Lindsay, Destination Expert at Skyscanner, comments: “UK travellers are jumping at the chance of a summer holiday, with the rules for vaccinated travellers permitting much-anticipated trips to traditional favourites like Spain, Portugal and France. The addition of the UAE to the amber list will drive searches for trips into the autumn to take advantage of the climate and luxury escapes. The list of quarantine free destinations for unvaccinated travellers is smaller, but summer sun can still be enjoyed in Malta and Croatia. While the latest addition of Germany and Austria means city breaks in Berlin and Vienna are once again on the cards.”
