2021 will be a good year for villas. As we cautiously start to take holidays again, some of us feeling safe with our vaccines and others still waiting for their jab, I expect that people will prefer the freedom snd safety of a villa. And it will be the villas with pool and plenty to keep you occupied that will be the ones that are booked up first.
I agree Neil. Probably the second half of 2021 will see a slow return to travel once vaccinations have/are rolled out to the public. A villa holiday will enable people to remain in their bubbles, but still enjoy a well-deserved holiday.
Even as vaccines roll out to different parts of the world, I still think that being cautious of how we travel in 2021 will still be at the top of every traveller’s mind. Well, hopefully, most travellers. I can’t begin to imagine how some people might tend to forget that the virus is still out there and not everyone they meet or encounter would have been inoculated. In any case, private villas will offer a more safe travel accommodation in these times.
Yes, hopefully we’ll see a slow return to travel in the second half of the year. The hotels chains that have been investing in covid-safe accommodation, and private villas where you can remain within your bubble, will certainly prove popular I believe.
