Travelzoo's latest survey shows its members are fast becoming fully vaccinated. A third of members have had both jabs, and 92% have had at least one. This is a group where pent up desire is fast becoming reality.

68% are ready to travel within the UK now, 39% are ready to travel internationally when allowed. On average, they plan three domestic trips and one international trip in 2021. While half (49%) state that they would go anywhere they can just to get a holiday.

However, a further 31% are still wanting their holiday to really count, saying they want to go somewhere really special or different. There is a real opportunity for the 87% with more or equal disposable travel income to spend and spend on something big.

Just over half (58%) would book a UK holiday for summer 2021 right now, 39% would book a UK holiday for autumn/winter. A fact Travelzoo's search data also supports with searches for UK hotel and getaway content running consistently high week on week.

46% of Travelzoo members would pay up to £15 for a PCR Covid-19 test so they could travel abroad this year. 28% would spend up to £25, 19% would even pay up to £50! But just 7% would go beyond that so they could get abroad. Good news then, that several of the bigger providers are now reducing their PCR test costs.

1 in 5 (19%) think the UK government has let down the travel industry, with a whopping 49% saying they didn't know, and 32% saying they didn't believe it had. Indicating perhaps that while as an industry we think we are being vocal enough about the issues we face, we aren't!
