Anxiety is high as COVID-19 restriction ease but Britons are still looking to get away during the summer. As the lockdown measures are relaxed and people start venturing farther afield, Canopy & Stars is boosting confidence by showing a different side to British staycations.

COVID-19 has hit the travel and hospitality sector harder than most others, with event venues forced to postpone bookings, airlines grounding fleets, and restaurants banning sit-in service. As people re-explore their leisure options post-lockdown, what will they expect from brands in this space?

With 2020’s summer holidays massively disrupted by COVID-19 travel restrictions, Britons are looking ahead and booking staycations for 2021. Interest in camping and self-catering spots for next summer has grown massively, as people attempt to book in future-proof plans to look forward to.

The pandemic has brought the travel industry to a near standstill. But with restrictions lifting, the desire for a summer holiday is still strong, in spite of fears of a second spike. Searches for staycations in the UK are reaching a peak, while some booking sites have enjoyed record sales.
