Despite this, however, many companies not only survived but thrived. Holidays are still regarded as top priorities for many, surveys show.

Certainly the number of readers taking part in this years Guardian, Observer and guardian.co.uk  Travel Awards survey seems to show no loss of appetite for holidays — 19,248 gave their views this year, up from 17,000 last year.
