eSky has arrived in the UK and is set to shake up how we research, plan and buy the various elements of our travel – for both business and leisure. eSky aims to inspire us to explore more, venture further afield and discover the undiscovered. It does this as it has over 950 airlines and in excess of 1.3 million hotel partners – more than any other current travel booking sites in the UK.
eSky commissioned independent research to find out what truly ignites the Brits’ wanderlust. A whopping 41% of people in the South East are considering taking a Staycation this year – due to the growing uncertainty surrounding Brexit. This equates to approximately 3.7 million residents! Let’s all hope for another long hot summer as we enjoyed in 2018!
