Despite a sluggish start, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout is rapidly gathering pace across Europe, signifi-cantly boosting consumer and travel confidence. European destinations are already capturing strong pent-up demand from prospective vaccinated travellers, especially those coming from the US. In ad-dition to this, we have observed in recent months the strong correlation between the easing of travel restrictions and an upsurge in air bookings to certain destinations, increasing the possibility of a great summer season. On the downside however, the emergence of the new Covid-19 Delta variant, with considerable transmission advantage, has the potential to drive a rise in infection rates and threaten destination’s reopening plans.
