66% of Respondents Yet to Book Their 2025 Holiday Due to Concerns About Cost

#Traveltradetogether

81% have thought about booking their Holiday, new Click&Go Holidays Travel Sentiment Survey reveals.

Click&Go Holidays has released their Travel Sentiment Survey for the first quarter of the year, revealing that of those surveyed 66% have not booked their 2025 Holiday.

The findings show that cost is a significant factor in those who have not yet booked their 2025 holiday, as 66% responded that either prices are too high (36%) or that they are waiting for holiday prices to fall (30%). Other factors outside of holiday prices that are affecting bookings are those concerned over the impact of US tariffs on Ireland (6%) and those worried about the cost-of-living crisis in Ireland (7%).

The survey also provided information about the marginal increase on sun holiday prices in 2025. Sun holidays rose by 3% this year, while Airfare rose by 2% and the average accommodation rose by 6%.

The Travel Sentiment Survey also gave further insight into the strong demand for travel in 2025, despite booking delays, with only 2% planning to not take a trip this year. The coming months are expected to be busy for travel bookings, as 35% of respondents are preparing to reserve their holiday by the end of May and over a quarter (26%) looking to secure their plans in June, July and August. It will be a lates market for booking holidays

In terms of looking for offers, 60% of parents said they would take their children out of school to save on Holiday Prices. While 85% of respondents would take advantage of Click&Go Holidays low booking deposit of €1 per person.

Paul Hackett, CEO of Click&Go said, “What we see in the survey results is a real reluctance amongst the Irish public to book their 2025 holiday. I think for many this is out of a desire to save money, however, we are not seeing this same hesitance in other European markets so prices are unlikely to drop. With the vast majority still planning on travelling this year it could mean limited choice and accommodation availability further down the line.”
