The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has set out a four-step roadmap to take England out of its Covid-19 lockdown. This news had a remarkable effect on tourism – a large increase in bookings. And most importantly – Croatia among Britons top picks, with booking growth of over 600 percent.
Croatia among Britons top picks
EasyJet announced an increase in flight bookings from the UK for this summer by more than 300 percent compared to a week ago, and bookings for summer vacation packages increased by more than 600 percent compared to a week earlier.
Travel organizer TUI UK is reporting a 500 percent increase in booking compared to a week ago, and Jet2 reveals that the growth is above 600 percent. On the Skyscanner site in just one day, they had a 69 percent increase in bookings.
TUI announced connections with Croatia by May
TUI UK has announced that it will reopen 15 lines to Croatia by May, to three airports – Pula, Dubrovnik, and Split. The return of TUI UK is great news for domestic tourism after air traffic between the two countries was suspended. This season, a larger number of British tourists is expected than last year. Last season, only 127,129 tourists arrived in Croatia from the UK, who made 685 thousand overnight stays, which is only 14.8 percent of the results in the year before. During 2019, there were 898 thousand Britons who made 4.6 million overnight stays.
The peak season of 2021 is July and August
Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium will not open trips before May 15 or early June. Scandinavians are not expected before July. Currently, August, September, and even October sell best. The reaction shown by the British market can be more or less expected in other markets, at the moment when their governments or the European Commission open travel opportunities.
