Overall, Stuba has reported that nearly 50% of sales are for travel from May 2023 and beyond suggesting that the early booking behaviour pattern has reverted to pre-pandemic trends. In addition, 88% of sales are for 4* and 5* properties.

Matt Stuart, CCO, said “We’re absolutely delighted with how the year has started. To see such a strong start to sales in terms of room nights booked and revenue is really encouraging. That on top of our recent Globe award win is just the icing on the cake. We are always very grateful for all the support from our partners and agents, and we are thrilled that our industry finally seems to be returning to where it deserves to be!”
