There has been “a big avalanche” of people rebooking holidays for summer 2021, the Irish Travel Agents Association has said. Pat Dawson, chief executive of the association, said people who had booked holidays for this summer have either pushed their breaks back until the autumn or to next year. “People who had booked holidays for May, June and July are doing either of two things – pushing them out until September, October, November or switching their holidays until next year,” Mr Dawson told The Irish Times. “There has certainly been a big avalanche of bookings, surprisingly, people booking for summer 2021.”Mr Dawson said travel agents are “the worst off” industry due to Covid-19. Eoghan Corry, travel writer and publisher of Travel Extra magazine, said “everything is currently focused around changing and rebooking”.
