John Wild: “Have missed one holiday in April and I’m not going in October. Not worth the risk especially since insurance companies say they won’t cover for the virus.”
Lynne Bostock: “There's no way that I will be going on holiday this year and I am seriously considering not booking up for next year also. I suffer from a range of conditions and I am not prepared to risk going away.”
Graeme Collinson: “We’re writing this year off. Hopefully go away twice next year, all being well.”
Caz Pea: “Wouldn't bother booking another holiday until we get refunded for holidays that have been cancelled. Not going to chance losing more money.”
Alice Morgan: “It would depend on a lot of factors.”
