Millions will be rushing to take holidays in the UK once travel restrictions are lifted, say experts.
They believe many Britons have abandoned hope of overseas travel this year. Instead, industry bosses hope to rescue the summer with a surge in demand for domestic breaks.
But it could be a case of “hello, campers” for many as hotels and B&Bs are likely to stay shut for longer with restrictions staying on Airbnbs.
Nick Lomas, director-general of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, said: “Our pitches are separated by at least six metres. We think lots [will] think of giving camping a go.”
The proposed 14-day quarantine on return to the UK will further hit the practicality of overseas travel.
Under the plans, set to be brought in within weeks, all arriving at airports and ports will have to give an address where they must self-isolate.
The quarantine is part of measures aimed at avoiding a second peak of the pandemic.
Mike Bevens, managing director of Bristol-based Sawday’s said: “In the last week, we have seen a significant increase in people searching for UK breaks.
“The most popular months for bookings are July and August. There is optimism we’ll be able to travel in the UK soon.”
Cornwall and Scotland are among the most sought-after locations with Wales, Devon and Yorkshire also attracting more interest.
