With the tourism industry hoping for a very busy summer season, travel expert Eoghan Corry has the latest updates for anyone looking to book a holiday soon. PatKennyNT PatKenny

, Eoghan Corry - editor of Travel Extra - said airlines and other companies will be trying to ease the"great hesitancy" that's out there about bookings.

Still, Eoghan said there's undoubtedly pent-up demand for travel - and plenty of extra benefits for those who book their summer holiday soon.Many countries have almost fully reopened their borders to international tourism - but that's not the case everywhere. Countries such as New Zealand and Japan, meanwhile, have also yet to properly open up their borders to international tourists, although are planning for a phased reopening.

In terms of the best time to book, Eoghan observed: “If you wait and wait, it’s unlikely the prices will come down. What might happen is those extra options and little incentives might be withdrawn, and the booking policy mightn’t be as generous."Look at routes such as Malaga and Faro… prices available for July and August are what you wouldn’t have seen at the start of January before COVID.

However, Eoghan cautioned: “The one thing to watch is you can’t push a booking to New York for €199 to a flight that’s now €400 - you do need to pay the balance."
