Business Maverick: Britons opt for non-EU holidays in face of Brexit impasse – Thomas Cook

Turkey and Tunisia are among the biggest beneficiaries from the trend towards non-EU bookings, the travel firm Thomas Cook said in a report, with demand for both recovering after security concerns curbed bookings in recent years.

Thomas Cook, the world’s oldest travel company, said it was “clear that the prolonged uncertainty around the manner and timing of Britain’s exit from the European Union has led many to delay their decision on when and where they book for their summer holidays.” “Britain may be living through unique times from a political perspective, however our desire to holiday abroad is clear,” said Will Waggott, Chief of Tour Operating for Thomas Cook.

Thomas Cook said 48 percent of its UK package holiday bookings for this summer so far were to non-EU destinations, up 10 percentage points on the same time last year.
