Luskentyre Beach on the Isle of Harris
A LUXURY travel company has started selling holidays to destinations with the UK and Ireland in an attempt to capitalise on the expected surge in demand for staycations.
Kuoni, which is known for offering long-haul breaks to locations such as the Maldives, Mauritius and Thailand, is entering the domestic travel market for the first time today.
The photograph shows Luskentyre Beach on the Isle of Harris, just one of the places the luxury travel company will aim to send its customers.
The coronavirus crisis is expected to boost the UK staycation industry still further, after an ABTA Travel Association survey in January found 56% of Britons were planning to holiday at home as a result of Brexit.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
