In lots of people as always going to Europe, the Italy's and the Spain's, the Italy's particularly,
00:06
so we're seeing as you would expect, but we're seeing because the world is open fully again,
00:11
we're seeing a demand for really far flung places, Morocco, Turkey, Jordan, you know,
00:17
those really exotic, interesting cultures, people are flocking to those, South America
00:22
is back open for business in a big way, we're seeing lots of bookings into Costa Rica, but
00:27
places like Colombia that are just fascinating and not as many people have been there, Uzbekistan
00:33
is a, you know, we sell Uzbekistan, it's not somewhere you think of as a major holiday
00:38
destination, people just wanting to try things that they've never done or places they've
00:43
never been, bookings to Antarctica, we've seen a 50% increase in, you know, that is
00:48
a once in a lifetime classic bucket list destination, right, back to Peru, back to the Inca Trail,
00:56
back to doing those things that were considered, you know, real once in a lifetime, life-affirming,
01:01
life-changing things, people have got that, you know, you had that list before the pandemic,
01:05
that list is now longer because people have had two or three years to add to it and dream
01:10
about getting away, so those more exotic destinations are definitely in vogue this year for sure,
01:16
and then we're seeing places like Lebanon where you can travel to again, we've got bookings
01:20
coming in for Lebanon, which is fantastic to see, so as always Europe will be jam-packed,
01:25
but the rest of the world will be filling up with some of these amazing destinations.
01:29
In the past few years, peak times have brought with them huge queues, delays and even cancellations.
01:35
Here's the advice from the experts to make sure your holiday gets off to a good start.
01:39
I don't know about you, sometimes I don't always read the information I get from my
01:43
travel company, make sure you've read it and be as prepared as you possibly can, but just
01:48
don't let it get in the way of, you know, once you're through those queues, if there
01:51
are queues, within a few hours you're going to be at your holiday destination having a
01:55
great time, but just be prepared is my simple answer.
