There are reasons to be optimistic for the travel landscape in 2022. The roll out of vaccinations and testing have enabled travel restrictions to be slowly eased and whilst the Omicron variant started as a cause for concern recent government statements suggest there is the very real possibility of restrictions being eased further with the possibility that the need for testing when returning to the UK will be removed.

There is no doubt there's a huge demand for travel.
