Club Travel group sees profits surge on 'bucket list' holidays

Director at Club Travel, Colman Burke, said: 'People have taken advantage of the post-covid savings and splurged on more expensive holidays.'

Director at Club Travel, Colman Burke, said: "Las Vegas is a prime example of a ‘bucket list’ destination, appealing to many people in their 30s and 40s who on average spend around €1,200 per person on accommodation and flights on a four-night trip.”

Large numbers of Irish tourists visiting the 'bucket-list' destination of Las Vegas in the US last year contributed to pre-tax profits increasing almost six-fold to €5.9m at the Club Travel group.

Director at Club Travel, Colman Burke, said that “large numbers” booking breaks to Las Vegas, Cancun and Dubai was a feature of last year’s business performance. Mr Burke said that these destinations have taken off, especially after covid-19.
