Big surge in travel and holiday spend intentions

There has been a recent surge in the number of Irish consumers intending to spend on summer holidays.

Consumer intent to spend on travel and holidays has surged in the last six weeks, or so, as anxiety surrounding Covid’s health and financial impact has started to wane.

Between the end of March and the end of April – as the first easing of restrictions this year approached – there was a 19% jump in consumers looking to spend on holiday plans.
