🥶😰Blue Monday 😰🥶

Blue Monday rolls around every year on the third Monday in January. The meaning of this day is filled with controversy because it is supposedly the saddest day of the year. Many of us find ourselves in subzero weather this time of year, looking at our post-Christmas credit card bills and realizing we might already be breaking our new year’s resolutions.
Let's turn the table on blue Monday and arrange that holiday to look forward to.

Finally starting to see end of the light of the tunnel.
Were you going to be travelling to next?
Call for advise and booking your next holiday

March 17th 2020 was the day that the travel industry went into systematic meltdown as the government advised against all non-essential travel - halting the income of millions of people in the UK.

It was an event that no-one expected and no-one believed would happen. Within days, airports around the UK and the world lay silent, but never busier with parked planes.

Next to our offices, at Bournemouth Airport British Airways had planes worth hundreds of millions of pounds with their wheels chocked and engines covered, not knowing when they would fly again.

We were an industry with a refund rate of less than 1%. Overnight this soared to a 99% cancellation rate. As an industry we simply weren’t geared up to cope.

Over the last two years, travel has lost a lot of good people as they left the industry to work in other sectors. A lot of that expertise and experience may never return.

A majority of tour operators and airlines took advantage of the furlough scheme (for survival) which meant it became difficult for those which were left to deal with refunds and rebooking's as there was no-one to talk to.

The travel industry was like a restaurant, which didn’t just shut its doors and furloughed staff, it had to keep all its staff working, having no income from new sales AND having to refund every meal you’d served for the last year.

The industry was continually hit with new rule changes which always seemed to be announced by the government during the evening or at the weekend, when staff have gone home.


“Not Just Travel started the day before 9/11 happened and has seen everything since then, but the travel industry is very resilient. We all love to travel and that will never change says Steve Witt, Co-Founder NJT”.

The industry is now seeing or about to see the biggest comeback ever as more and more customers want to travel. This is an exciting time to be in travel. Customers have never been happier, the industry is booming.

And two years on - where are we now?

The elastic band has been pulled back for two years and has now been released. We continue to break records most days. Not Just Travel’s sales were up in February 2022 by 230% compared to the same month in 2021, 433% up on 2020 and 193% up on 2019.

Over 85% of bookings are now for this year because people want to travel, yet at the same time, we’ve never had so many advance bookings as clients plan ahead. Travellers are eager and excited to be planning and being able to travel again. Average booking values have increased by over £1000 compared to pre-pandemic bookings. As a result, we’re expanding our team and have committed over £1m of extra money to recruitment.

And how to celebrate this bittersweet anniversary? Rejoice in this week’s news that all travel restrictions / rules are being removed and facemasks are no longer required in many travel hubs. We have proven our resilience through the darkest of times. Now let's celebrate our brighter future.

Why is travel insurance important? 🤔

When it comes to booking a holiday, insurance is important for the get-go. Although we never plan for things to go wrong, sometimes they do. With a great range of cover available, including add-ons, travel insurance gives you peace of mind from the moment you book your holiday, and throughout your holiday itself.

Very few insurance policies currently cover COVID-19. Ours does! Very few insurance companies have such a great track record of having excellent cover, competitive prices and easy to deal with. Ours does!

Need travel insurance with COVID cover? Speak to your local consultant today or find out more here: https://zcu.io/IY6K
