The travel industry is getting a huge boost. These last weeks, there have been lots of bookings for holidays in the crocus period (the first time schools close in 2022).
Last year, people wanted to party. This year they want to travel. Now that corona is finally on the retreat, everybody wants to get away for a while. Travel organisation such as TUI get more than 7% more bookings than in this same period two years ago, 2019.
During the crocus holidays of 2019 we were in South Africa, our last long trip before corona came. The rest of the year, we didn't go anywhere, and last year we only made two trips into France.
Just like the rest of the population, we also want to get away. It now looks like our plans for the coming weeks and months will become reality. We have planned several trips, in the crocus period, in April, May and July. Our longest trip will be one to the three Baltic states (Estland, Letland and Lithuania) and Finland. It'll become a road trip (albeit not with the car) but with airplane and bus. Two days, three days at a certain place and then move on to another. Will be fun!
For the coming holiday, most people want to go to sunny destinations. Spain comes first, then Egypt. And of course lots of folks want to go skiing. We go to the North Pole, a long time dream of my sister who wants to see the northern lights.
