Last week was our best week for new holiday bookings AND the week with fewest cancellations since March. With a third for late summer, we're pleased to see customers jetting off to their well-deserved getaways.

Today is National Travel Agent Day.
Travel Agents have worked tirelessly to support their customers throughout the Covid 19 lockdown without any income
As travel slowly restarts the travel industry needs financial support to see us through until more people can travel @RishiSunak

“The government is strangling aviation even though the majority of UK adults have received both vaccine doses and should be given the freedom to fly. Why are we in a worse position than last summer when we had no vaccines?” @MailOnline @ThePCAgency

...please tell me why we cannot travel, but this is ok?! @grantshapps
Dear Mr Shapps - So it’s OK for 17,000 cricket fans a day at the Test Match but not OK for 500 fully vaccinated guests on a Silver Moon Cruise. It’s gone past the point of common sense or credibility. Get a grip.
When I’m not busy looking after your travel plans and holidays, I also do this...

Meet volunteers Sam and Lesa, co-founders of @RecyclePods4WAA. The recycling scheme has raised a whopping £41,471.93 for our charity, and is a great way of reducing waste in landfill this #WorldEnvironmentDay! #VolunteersWeek

Enough is enough @grantshapps @borisjohnson. You have effectively shut down the UK travel industry for the second year in succession. Travel is not just about holidays, it’s about 1000s of jobs. We are asking you to step up, provide dedicated financial support – and #SaveTravel

The government has failed to answer why it hasn’t added any countries to its green list. It’s made #Portugal a scapegoat and it defies logic. #Britain is fast losing friends among countries it will need most when the pandemic is over. @ThePCAgency

In the healthcare sector, doctors and nurses are the heroes on the front line however in the hospitality industry, our housekeepers are our frontline heroes. Thank you all for your commitment and your dedication.
Happy Housekeepers Week!

And before you ask, yes I do think it’s OK to have a “holiday” in a “pandemic” because there’s a holiday industry which employs hundreds of thousands of hard working, tax paying people, livelihoods matter.

Dear @RishiSunak,
On Sunday on Marr you said you 'quibbled' with my number of 3m #ExcludedUK financially impacted by Covid missing out on the main support schemes?
I agree an accurate number is needed. Will the Treasury then pls research exactly how many are missing out?
