Half-term travel chaos and cost of living crisis fuel 30% surge in last-minute inquiries for summer breaks in Britain
British hotels, B&Bs and holiday parks recorded a 20%-30% rise in enquiries following the half term travel chaos as families think twice about heading abroad this summer.
Businesses said a surge in last-minute bookings were providing a much-needed boost as sales had fallen back after the boom in 2020 and 2021, thanks to the removal of restrictions on overseas travel.
