Agents can cash in on Jubilee holiday
Travel agents are advised to cash in as ABTA reveals six million people are to take a holiday during the Queen’s Jubilee
According to an independent YouGov survey conducted for ABTA, one in ten of the UK population will take advantage of the long bank holiday weekend from 2-5 June.
Of those taking a holiday break, 6% of the population intend to stay in the UK, while 4% said they intended to head overseas.
18-24 year olds are the most likely to use the extended weekend as a holiday opportunity with 12% of them taking a UK or foreign break.
Mark Tanzer ABTA Chief Executive said: " The extended June bank holiday will also provide a shot in the arm for the British travel industry with six million intending to take a break in the UK or overseas.
"Like last year’s Royal Wedding, the Jubilee shows that extra bank holidays not only give us a chance to recharge our batteries but also give an extremely welcome boost to tourism and many parts of the wider economy."
