over 60 percent of them wanted to take a break within three months of lockdown being lifted but only 17 wanted to take that within a month of it being lifted

the mature market is uh moving in by coach is probably more towards november at the moment but we're very you know very apprehensive at the moment

it's almost a captured market it's knowing your local um communities it's knowing how to get to them the internet's going to be more important now than ever
